well reports are coming out that Dolan is fed up with Thomas and will indeed fire him

here's yahoo article on it

Isiah Thomas is apparently running out of time.

The New York Daily News on Saturday reported that New York Knicks owner James Dolan is finally running out of patience with his coach and general manager, and is planning to replace him before the end of the season.

The Daily News report says that Dolan has told confidants he realizes a coaching change needs to be made.

Isiah Responds

isiah says he has no plans of quitting or getting fired

The New York Post, citing an unidentified source, reported Saturday that Thomas told a friend he was considering stepping away from coaching to concentrate on the team presidency.

"That was a lie," Thomas said. "That was just a flat-out lie. I would never, ever, ever quit. Ever."

I'll laugh if Isiah the coach is fired but Isiah the GM is retained... That would make my day actually...

no one... not me, you, dolan, not even anucha sanders or anyone else will ever bring down the great IT...BOOK IT





he simply cant be stopped, he is a warrior till death

lol, he told this to his confidents, looks like they arent very good confidentials.

new york fans are protesting to fire this guy... I say do it if the fans want it.

He's like a cockroach. There is no end.

Eagles fans booed when Phily drafted McNabb. Don't EVER listen to the fans.

Thats probably what will happen since it falls in line with something that Dolan would do. I still cant get over that he got that extension last year for briefly being in a playoff spot despite still having a losing record lol.

I thought that the moving of Isiah to coach made it easier to fire him. But for some reason he still hasn't fired. Frankly Isiah is far more resilient than I'd thought possible.

players and coachers are different things... you dont just get rid of a player because of fans... you can try shopping them for a replacement but you never get equal or better value... right now new york is basically the 2nd or 3rd worse team.. unlike Houston's gamble this team is not going to get much worse with a new coach.

Isiah Thomas is a sociopath. He knows how to get on the right side of the people in power.

Exciting day for us Knickerbocker fans. Today we all got:

1. Dolan could fire Coach Eyebrows

2. Marbury thinks Coach Eyebrows' offensive schemes stinks.

3. Coach Eyebrows only likes David Lee, Nate Robinson, and Jamal Crawford

Worse. He's a cockroach from the mean streets of Chicago. How the hell that lil bugger made it all the way from Chicago to NY is beyond me.

This wouldn't even be a question if Isiah wasn't paid so damn much. I just don't get it. Just because you're New York doesn't mean you have to give a huge contract the a guy no other team in the league would want.

Just because Bill Gates is a lot richer than me doesn't mean he's going to pay $20 for a gallon of milk. So why would the Knicks do so?

Dolan needs to remove Thomas as coach and GM. New York needs a new start, a fresh perspective, and a coach/GM combo that players and fans can respect and have confidence in. Thomas needs to be completely removed from the Knicks landscape, that's priority one.

Wait why are they firing him , he's a good coach ......

But seriosly , what happens if they fire I.T and the Knicks still play terrible , then what ?

Its funny how everyone blames Isiah , but a lot of the heat should fall on the players as well .

IMO

I thought about this and well do we really want Isiah gone? Why???????? The man provides countless entertainment and is a constant source of ridicule. The ill-advised trades that destroy chemistry and capspace. How can you not love the hilarious looks that he gives while he is on the bench??? From the crossed arms with the finger on his lip to the clueless "i might as well just laugh" look. The irrational spin doctor performances with the media. Upon further review I say keep Isiah!!!!

I'm not sure what's funnier - Dolan giving him that extension or their record since the extension.

IMO the people who should be fired is every Knick except David Lee, for quiting on Isiah. Waive those *************
