So…Isiah Thomas was dismissed as the head coach of Florida International University today.You know what that means.Rumors of Thomas returning to the dysfunctional relationship that just will not die. Yep, Twitter was abuzz already with talk of Thomas now being free to return to the Knicks if the opportunity arises.

Somehow, despite all of the history, it would surprise no one if this resulted in the second-coming of Thomas to New York. For reasons unexplained, the Knicks (and ...

New York Knicks: 20 Former Knicks Whom the Team Should’ve Forced to Retire Basketball, Eddy Curry, Isiah Thomas, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Rankings/List, Stephon Marbury | Comments Off
Cuttino Mobley—remember him? Didn't think so. Well, he was once a Knick for a New York minute in 2009. Now he's suing the team for "[ending] his career by having him declared medically ineligible to play because of a preexisting heart condition." He claims New York forced him into retirement to save $19 million.What a clever cap-room strategy by the front office on that one if true. It took Mobley's two-year contract off the books and paid dividends in luxury-tax relief. It helped bring Amar'e Stoudemire to the Garden.The L.A. Clippers traded Mobley to the Knicks with Tim Thomas for Mardy ...

Charles Oakley: Is He Justified in Ripping NY Knicks, Amar’e, Isiah & D’Antoni? Amare Stoudemire, Isiah Thomas, Mike D'antoni, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
Charles Oakley is one of the most respected former players in NBA circles. When Oak talks, people listen. This week, Oak decided to talk about the New York Knicks—specifically Amar'e Stoudemire and Mike D'Antoni, along with former team president Isiah Thomas. Before we get into whether or not Oak is justified in ripping the current and former brain-trust of his former team, let's take a look at what he actually said. At K1X in Soho, Oakley spoke with the New York Post, among other news outlets. Speaking about Amar'e Stoudemire, he said:Amar’e’s good, he’s good in his way. He’s a West Coast ...

Isiah Thomas’ ‘Secret’ Turns Out To Be Cheating Basketball, Isiah Thomas, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
Bill Simmon’s asked Isiah Thomas on his book entitled The Book of Basketball what is the “Secret”? And Thomas answered, "The secret about basketball is that it’s not about basketball…" The thought itself is already complex and you have to read it over again just to make sense. That is just typical Isaiah; you just have to look deeper just to understand him. It was mind boggling how those fat contracts ended up on Jerome James, Eddy Curry and problematic players such as Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis’ hands when Thomas was still the Knicks president. ...

The 10 Worst Moves Isiah Thomas Ever Made Final Four, Isiah Thomas, James Dolan, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks | Comments Off
When I suggested the idea of this article to Mark, his first and only response was “Only 10?” By Mark C. Rinaldi This is a list of what I perceive to be Isiah Thomas' 10 worst basketball moves on the court during his tenure with the New York Knicks. I preferred to ONLY reference on court moves made by Zeke rather then talking about the revolving door of hall of fame coaches, the Anucha Browne Sanders case or his love affair with the Dolans. So please, please James Dolan don’t bring him back to Madison Square Garden, please. Please. No. 10 May ...

Isiah Thomas Will Run the New York Knicks Again Isiah Thomas, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks | Comments Off
Last Friday we discussed how Isiah Thomas must be high as balls, because he’d announced in a recent interview a plethora of insane assumptions (like that LeBron and Wade would be Knicks if he were still running the team, or that he’d never been fired for a basketball reason). You can read that article by CLICKING HERE. On this Monday morning, Digest contributor Leslie Monteiro tells you how Thomas will in fact be the next GM of your New York Knicks (believe it or not). By Leslie Monteiro ESPN New York.com’s Ian O’Connor gets big names for his sports column. That is why he is ...

But first, does Steve Kerr need a gag order? Kerr's Campaign It's become something of a running joke on ESPN that Jeff Van Gundy will stick up for big bro Stan Van Gundy and his Magic whenever the opportunity presents itself. The level of self-awareness, even sarcasm, often present there is welcome; even if JVG feels his kin isn't getting due respect, he's ...

Isiah Thomas Thinks He’ll Be Back in New York, We Think He’s Just High Isiah Thomas, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks | Comments Off
By Cooper L. Train It’s been a slow couple of days in NY Sports. With baseball season coming to an end, but the offseason not yet in full swing, combined with the excitement of the NBA and NHL seasons curtailing, there’s really been little to talk about other than the Mets hirings and firings and guessing who will win MLB awards. In hopes of satisfying my sports itch, I went over to ESPN.com this morning, where I discovered an article by Ian O’Connor that made me want to gouge my eyeballs out with a sharpie pen. The article, entitled “Exiled Isiah ...

David Stern Accepts Blame for Knicks’ Isiah Thomas Confusion David Stern, Isiah Thomas, James Dolan | Comments Off
by FanHouse StaffFiled under: KnicksFor several days in August, the New York Knicks had basketball fans everywhere scratching their heads with the news that ower James Dolan intended to hire Isiah Thomas as a consultant. As confusing as it was to understand why Dolan would desire the services of the man responsible for driving his franchise into the ground, the most perplexing wrinkle was that Thomas intended on remaining in his capacity as head coach at Florida International University. Needless to say, it didn't take long for the NBA to intervene, informing the Knicks that having an NCAA head coach ...

The Hard Fall Of a Promising Big Man: Life and Times Of Eddy Curry Eddy Curry, Isiah Thomas, Mike D'antoni, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
Eddy Curry has always been a large player on the court, that is when he actually was able to stay on it. Curry, a once heralded Chicago Prep star (Preps Chicago Hoops aired in 2000 on Fox Sports South, chronicling Curry's High School days) was drafted out of Thornwood High School in Chicago, back in the 2001 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls (fourth overall). He was a raw rookie, who displayed a limited work ethic but one who many saw as a cornerstone of the franchise along with fellow high school standout Tyson Chandler. Curry did not play much during his rookie season, ...
