The Sports Guy vs. Isiah Thomas
I love this guy. He's smart, funny and has a big set of matzoh balls. I might be developing a man crush, kinda like the one I've developed for Derek Jeter and Tiki Barber.
Sports Guy vs. Isiah Thomas
In Isiah's defense. He has done one thing well in his tenure as Knicks GM. He sure as hell knows how to draft. He got Trevor Ariza (a good player, but a great late-round pick), Nate Robinson (immediate help to team taken late in first round early second round - don't remember which), David Lee (I think was the last pick of the second round, also immediate help), Channing Frye (everybody blasted this pick and Isiah, to his credit, said he would have taken him with the #1 overall pick... anyone here of Andrew Bogut since he played at Utah? Didn't think so. Frye is up there with Chris Paul for Rookie of the Year right now, though Paul will win that award hands down). I believe Isiah drafted Jermaine Oneal as well as another winner over at Indiana.
The problem is he sucks at everything else. He cannot put together a cohesive team. He is a fool when it comes to the salary cap. He makes terrible trades at terrible times. He's been here for three seasons now and he's still using the previous GM as his excuse. Enough is enough. The roster has been overhauled for the most part and he's holding a good 6 or 7 terrible contracts (maybe more) and many of them were trades that he made himself.
Anyway, the point here is, I think I can do a better job and I am sending my resume into the New York Knicks organization in application for the General Manager position should it become available. If anyone has a connection feel free to call and put in a good word. OR - if anyone has a few hundred million dollars to invest, I will be happy to head a group interested in purchasing the Knicks. Let me know...
