If it happens then it is about time. He has made a horrible mess of that franchise.

He is the GM and President I do believe.

The owner should be fired too if that's possible. Him and Isaiah make a splendid pair.

Knicks have to be blown up. Get rid of everyone except Lee, Balkman, Collins, and Crawford. They have to build from the draft and get some quality good attitude vets around the younguns. I'm sure they could afford position coaches as well. Problem is that there aren't many teams that would take their baggage.

Problem is that everyone one of these players are virtually untradable because they are all signed through horrible deals. Jerome James, Jared Jeffries, Malik Rose, Marbury, Zach. For a team to take on one of these contracts the Knicks will have to put a Balkman or a Lee to sweeten the deal. As for their young guys, Chandler seems like nothing special and Collins too. Only Robinson, Lee and to a certain extend Balkman have value...

You guys don't get it do you is and always will be a Raptor. He's a double agent!

I think he's a genius pulling the wool over the eyes of millions for so long.

Considering this should have been done years ago, I'll believe it when I see it...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Now, where are the Raps going to dump the next Jalen Rose? I hope they ask the Clippers permission to talk with Elgin Baylor.

Actually, the article in the Daily News said that there will only be coaching change not the GM change. Knowing Dolan, he will just probably hire someone to coach the team and let Isiah run things again.

I don't understand if he is not happy with the coach, why couldn't he make a change now?

...I think the Knicks GM is unhappy with how the Coach is running things....

AcesFull · Post #17 » by **AcesFull** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 9:29 pm

It really is unfathomable that he hasn't been fired. He should have been fired after last season. Or the sexual harassment conviction. I wouldn't be surprised if sweet talking Isiah has something on Dolan that's preventing him from getting fired...

The Knicks right now could have a good young core of Nate Robinson, David Lee, Channing Frye, Brandon Roy, and Al Horford and **** loads of cap space to boot. Instead they are a complete **** storm. Babcock only did half as bad and got the boot. The fact he is still employed is farcical. That team is completely and utterly screwed. The only way to dump any of those contracts is to include the good young players they would want to keep. It's going to be 5 years to clean up Isiah's garbage.

the best part of that article: when it says that Zeke will be fired by the end of the season.

hahaahaaa!

might as well wait a few more months so you can lose more of your fanbase.

I'd be disappointed if Isiah was fired.
