Isiah to Meet with Walsh
ESPN:
"Isiah Thomas will finish the season as the Knicks' coach, but needs a good explanation for why things went so horribly wrong for any chance to last beyond that. New president Donnie Walsh said Wednesday he plans to meet soon with Thomas, and he wants to know why a team he thought could be good instead 
will finish as perhaps the worst in franchise history. Walsh insists he hasn't decided on Thomas' future with the team, but the Knicks' 23-56 record clearly works against the coach. Walsh said he expects their conversation to happen before the regular season ends next week. But no matter what he decides, he expects Thomas to be on the bench for the remaining games. Walsh wants details about specific things that happened this season, such as the Thomas-Stephon Marbury feud that sent the season spiraling out of control after only five games. Marbury left the team in Phoenix after Thomas threatened to remove him from the starting lineup, and the Knicks lost their next six games. Thomas also had disagreements on the bench during games with Quentin Richardson and Zach Randolph, and he'll need to decide how honest he wants to be with Walsh about whether he was at fault. He also yanked center Eddy Curry from the starting lineup, and Curry lost his confidence and took a major step back with his play this season."
If Donnie Walsh brings this guy back I will be pissed as will many. Just look at all the problems with what are supposed to be the "star" players on the team and the coach is the one to blame for that. Isiah Thomas has just been a hemroid for the Knicks ever since he began his "job". I don't see how Isiah could get out of this and if he does than Walsh is no better than him.
In other news OJ Mayo is going to declare for the draft so if the Knicks lose out on Derrick Rose they could possibly draft Mayo instead.
