Just when you think nothing can get worse for the New York Knickerbockers, it always seems to happen anyway. In the Pre-Henrik Lundquist era, I thought the Rangers were the worst run franchise in professional sports. Now that they have found a star goalie and have returned to respectability, their MSG counterparts own that distinction.
Isiah Thomas has done a remarkable job; he took a bad team, and turned them into a complete catastrophe. His theory of 'lets bring as many overpaid, shoot first guards and throw them on one team' has managed to turn the Knicks into the laughing stock of the league. If that wasn't enough, he lost complete respect of all his player with his off the court discretions (sexual harassment) and personal vendetta with Marbury. This team needs a complete makeover in the worst way. Keep the young kids like Lee, Balkman, Randolph and Nate Robinson, fire the coach/GM and bring in completely new personnel. This is the only way to restore respectability, and it's not like they'll win games in the short run either way. The Dolan-Thomas-Thomas trio has to rank amongst the worst Owner-GM-Coach trios in professional sports history. I'd like to take 2 friends and a few players from the Wash U basketball team and give it a go. Hey, it can't be much worse...
