Isiah Thomas Out?

So this morning, I saw the Knicks Team Van on my way to work, and it got me thinking… What would it take to fix them as a team? I mean, there’s a lot going on there that needs some serious attention, and hopefully some fresh blood.
Well, I think I may be lucky… According to Gothamist, there is hope for us long-suffering Knicks fans…
Indiana Pacers chief executive Donnie Walsh will leave the team after this season and a source told ESPN late Monday that he will land with the New York Knicks.
Walsh is expected to sign a three-year, $15 million contract with New York at the end of this season to oversee their basketball operations division. The source did not know what would become of current Knicks president of basketball operations and head coach Isiah Thomas once Walsh joined the Knicks.
Walsh only said Monday he will finish the season with Indiana and will not comment on his plans. Pacers team president Larry Bird will take over many of Walsh’s duties.
The final year of Donnie Walsh’s 24 with the Pacers has been rife with off-court turmoil.
“I’m completing what was my dream job,” the 67-year-old Walsh said at a news conference on Monday afternoon. “I have loved every single moment of this job, including the last few years when things have been more difficult.”
It was reported last week that Walsh had discussions with the Knicks about possibly replacing Thomas as team president.
God, could it be? Could someone come in that would fire the inept Thomas?
One can pray…
