Isaiah to coach Knicks. Adios Larry

    This ain't exactly big news.
    The decision was made weeks ago. It's been written virtually every day since the end of the season that the only question was when and how they would pull the plug on Brown, if they would have to eat the whole $40 mill or if they could get him to take a buy out for $20-25 mill.
    This is just the final chapter of the on-going Brown-Isiah soap opera. And now the Knicks will suck worse than ever for as long as Isiah is around.

    How is it that Isaiah has this svengali-like control over James Dolan? This team hasn't taken anything even remotely resembling a step forward since he took over.

    Isaiah must be one convincing guy. Maybe he should start a cult or something.

    I'll predict 30. And the Knicks will think things are heading in the right direction and give Isaiah (and Stefon) a fat contract extension.

    I can't believe this. I mean, I can but I can't.

    Seriously, I would have hired John Starks or anyone like that before Isaiah got another chance. He's already done his part to destroy the franchise. Might as well go all the way with it.

    That's the way I'm leaning. Early success, an SI cover detailing how Isiah turned the team around (with some not-so-subtle digs ar Larry), followed by a total collapse after the all-star break.

    This will be fun to watch. I say 20 wins.

    It will be fun to hear the Lupy spin on his beloved friend Larry.

    Guess Red Holtzman legacy is safe for now .

    Well, Larry DID want that job... and he found out that sometimes it's not best to give something good up to chase your dreams elsewhere.

    Hey, at least now he can go to Golden State.
    And Portland.
    And Charlotte.
    And New Orleans.
    And Utah.
    And... ;D

    Ding ding ding. We have a winner. The Knicks will be 7-8 games better just on effort alone. Then Dolan will totally misread the situation and start thinking Isiah's a genius again, at which point Zeke will make half a dozen bad trades and they'll be back to square one.

    By the way, what happened to the sexual harrassment suit? Did the Garden just vaporize Anucha Browne Sanders?

    This is great news for us Bulls fans. Now they have an even better shot at nabbing Greg Oden next year.

    Thanks, Isiah!

    No way they win 30. They'll be sweating to break 20. I'll be charitable and say 22-60.

    And with 10 games left in the season, Isaiah will decide to come out of retirement and become a player coach, so they can deploy the triple threat backcourt of Starbury, Stevie Franchise and Zeke.

    Sorry, Knickfans---the road ahead looks long and brutal
