According to a report in Monday's Newark Star-Ledger, owner James Dolan told the team in a closed-door meeting Friday that he was pleased with the job Thomas was doing as the Knicks' coach.

Dolan told the Knicks players that Thomas didn't have "anything to worry about right now," a person in the room told The Star-Ledger.

To emphasize his point, Dolan reportedly playfully tapped Curry on the shoulder after making the statement, drawing laughs from everybody in the room.

Last week, Curry said that if Thomas wasn't the coach of the Knicks, "I'd be trying to get out of here."

The Knicks are 22-29 in Thomas' first season as Knicks coach. They currently trail the Heat by three games for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Last season under Larry Brown, the Knicks finished 23-59.

Curry is enjoying his finest professional season under Thomas, averaging 19.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per game.

i didn't read the SI article yet.

but if you lived in the tri-state area, this isn't new news. Everyone knew that Dolan was insane. He's not probably more insane then Thomas. He is. People around here have known it for awhile.....it was to the point where Diddy went up to Dolan and asked him "Plz let me buy the knicks so you can stop embarassing them"

btw, post the article.

I went with choice B. I don't like Isiah much as a coach but the players like him so if they brought someone in to deal with trades/FA and let Isiah draft/coach in a couple years they might be good again.

I think we need to trade Frye.

[SYM]

Trading Frye doesn't sound like a bad look at all, but it sounds like that merely scratches the surface of the deliberation. I'm sure they're trying to figure out how they'll ever rebound from the Francis acquisition, and how it has so far gone NOWHERE.

i think there would be takers for Francis out there. teams that need a legit veteran PG that can score.

You don't think a team like cleveland, atlanta, or LA would like to get their hands on a francis?

however, the knicks would have to take alot of contract back.

I think trading Frye would be good. it'd let Lee move over to PF where he'd probably better suited to play. thing is, i'd to get a legit SF/SG out of it or another PF that can play D.

for someone who doesn't watch knicks games, how can someone 6 11 280lbs suck so much at rebounding? He seems to be really good offensively

it's really the same reason why shaq isn't a good rebounder in the latter part of his career?

he doesn't have the will and motivation to go after the rock off a missed shot.

he is pretty good offensively. but he's so one dimensional right now. he's not good defensively (one on one or help defense) and he doesn't rebound. also, he turns the ball over at an atrocious rate. he's just starting to figure out how to kick the ball out of double teams and triple teams.

Frye reminds me a bit of Allan Houston. Started great just as quickly as he became awful.

Though to my recollection I don't remember Houston disappointing so quickly. It's only Frye's second year, isn't it?

STFU

Houston had 6 all star caliber years for the knicks. 2 of those seasons being really great years.

Frye has never approached all star caliber play. he hasn't done anything. right now, he's all unfullfilled potential.

2 of those seasons being really great years.

Already acknowledged.

That's all I got.

Whats up with the fucknuts keeping managers and coaches that do jack? The Knicks are kinda painful to watch. So are the Celtics. Somebody tell the owner of the C's that Ainge and Doc Rivers = poop sammich.

[bmurf75]

No, the damage he's already done is irreparable. Fasten your seatbelts, Knicks fans. You might be 90 years old when you get to see the playoffs again.

frye was soft in college so its no suprise, he makes brian cook seem like charles oakley

[Mothership]

Voted option B even though it's never gonna happen. I kind of wish the Knicks could keep isiah as a coach and get someone else to GM, because most of the players at least like playing for him and are putting consistant effort in this year. But that won't happen, either.

Yup, either a SF/SG that can shoot or a defensive PF who could make up for some of Curry's deficiencies.

ripweblo - he was talking about Curry.

But yeah, Frye is softbatch. He could be a nice player in the right situation, but pairing him and Curry down low just doesn't work.

lol, being that arizona is one of the teams i follow in college basketball, i remember telling djm this after the knicks picked frye.

djm: i know you follow arizona, what do you think of the pick?

me: he's a good player. but he's soft. i like him. but he's soft.

[Diggedy]

I still haven't made up my mind on what to think of Isaiah, the Knicks, etc...

They've been more enjoyable to watch this year, I've been impressed with Marbury at times (which I hadn't been in recent years), and have grown to enjoy watching Curry, Lee, Q, and Crawford (although he still can infuriate me)..

The problem is, some of these guys are probably playing at their best.. And they're still an under .500 team..

In their Ewing glory years, they were a solid 50-60 win team a year.. There is no way this team as it is currently built will ever approach that..

Unfortunately, I don't see an end in sight to this, unless there is some ridiculous situation where we steal a player like when the Nets got Carter..

The Knicks will never be bad enough to get a top draft pick that can change a franchise (like a Tim Duncan, Lebron, etc).

There should be a two hour documentary on the Knicks, starting from the moment they traded Ewing.. It's a snowball that has made this team basically irrelevant in this town.

I feel like Ron Livingston in Swingers when he said "sometimes you miss the pain".. I actually miss the Charles Smith game 5, the Reggie Miller 8 points in whatever seconds, the Starks 3-18, the Ewing finger-roll..

Frye weighs about 95 lbs., he was referring to Eddy Curry.
