I’m not going to lie to you, I’m laughing hysterically as I write this. New York Knicks owner, James Dolan, met with Isiah Thomas yesterday morning at the Mandarin Hotel in New York City, which comes two days after former MSG Sports President Scott O’Neil left the position. Could a return to the Knicks be in store for the much maligned Thomas?

Isiah has failed at everything basketball except playing. He failed at coaching in the NBA, he failed as executive of a NBA team,he failed at college coaching,he failed at college recruitment, he even failed at getting away with sexual harassment.If he comes back he will have failed to keep a whole fan base from jumping ship and moving in with the enemy(Nets).

Don't forget that he failed as the CBA's top man when he was running that league! It'll be interesting to see what happens, but I'll tell you this... if Zeke is hired, I will laugh for a good 10 minutes.

It was an embarrassing year for the New York Knicks. With such a talented roster playing in a big market, there were a lot of expectations. After a midseason resurgence led by Jeremy Lin, it looked like the team might live up to the hype. Then a quick five-game series with the Miami Heat ended their season in a flash.
The tension hit a breaking point after Game 2 of the series when...
