Knick prez Walsh seething over secret Isiah-Dolan deal By MARC BERMAN Last Updated: 6:39 AM, August 8, 2010 Posted: 2:41 AM, August 8, 2010 Knicks president Donnie Walsh is livid that Isiah Thomas is back in the organization and feels his standing with the franchise could be compromised by owner James Dolan's decision to rehire Thomas, The Post has learned. According to a Knicks source, Walsh told Thomas in a face-to-face meeting two weeks ago he did not want him working for the organization. Dolan and Thomas had agreed that Thomas could fill the team's general manager vacancy if Walsh was OK with it. When Walsh told Thomas he objected, Thomas went back to Dolan, who still has a love affair with the Hall of Famer and seemingly is on a mission to rehab Thomas' image. Without Walsh's knowledge, Dolan and Thomas hatched a scheme in which Thomas could become a part-time consultant while remaining the coach at Florida International. (The NBA is reviewing whether the arrangement violates NBA rules on scouting procedures.) Walsh, who had thought the Isiah issue was dead, was not debriefed until after the hiring was agreed upon, and he reluctantly put his name on a joint statement with Dolan. It was only recently that Walsh found out Thomas had been in Dolan's ear for months, offering free advice. Some of Dolan's top advisors, including Garden president Hank Ratner, tried to talk Dolan out of naming Thomas as a consultant because of the public-relations backlash. "Donnie doesn't want him there, nobody wants him there but Dolan," the team source said. "Isiah seems to have Jim wrapped around his finger." Walsh was supposed to have full control of basketball operations when he was hired in 2008, but this incident shows that is not entirely true. Walsh also has tried to hire former Pacers Mel Daniels and Chris Mullin for front-office roles, but has been denied. The Post reported 2½ weeks ago that Dolan met with Thomas at the Garden's offices at 2 Penn Plaza for hours. Walsh, at the time, said he was unaware of the meeting. In a Post interview Friday, Walsh admitted he was not involved in negotiations about Thomas' new consulting position. Friday's announcement, predictably, has Knicks fans seething, putting a damper on what had been a decent summer, considering LeBron James' snub. The Knicks added five-time All-Star Amar'e Stoudemire, Raymond Felton and Anthony Randolph with a chance of tacking on Carmelo Anthony in 2011. Walsh is in Indiana with his 12 grandchildren and did not return phone calls yesterday. Walsh said Friday he is not hiring a GM, but Thomas' ultimate goal is to grab that position on the way to taking charge of basketball operations once again. Walsh has one guaranteed year left on his contract, but by making this move Dolan has usurped Walsh's authority. If the NBA voids the Thomas contract, Dolan would have no choice but abide by Walsh's wishes or fire Walsh, who has had health issues this summer, injuring his hip and undergoing neck surgery that put him in a wheelchair. Last month, The Post's Peter Vecsey reported Walsh possibly would retire this summer. Walsh repeatedly has denied he has any intention of retiring. Thomas has four years left on his FIU contract, but he is not expected to stay that long. Thomas perhaps realizes the Miami school will be even more overshadowed in the coming years with the advent of the Heat's Dream Team. Thomas was already lobbying for a GM job in comments made Friday to ESPN.com. As The Post reported yesterday, Thomas boasted to a confidant two summers ago he would one day run the Knicks again and just needed time to repair his image. During the press conference to introduce Stoudemire, Walsh thanked Thomas for his help in the recruiting process. But some in the organization believe Thomas had absolutely no influence on Stoudemire's decision. The Knicks' spin is Thomas can help them in the 2011 and 2012 free agency to recruit Anthony and Chris Paul, the star Hornets point guard who considers Thomas one of his idols. |

Hey Kodiac Glen you are a dip shit... Apparently you are not a christian, so what is that supposed to make you cool or something? I dont give a fat fuck what your religion is, it is your faith and thats it and thats all. It doesn't affect me. But to come on this fine quitters page and make light of his religion makes you a real fuckhead. If you dont like it dont click on it! Now you can continue to act like a prepubicient 13 year old boy or you can recognize that your joke didn't play well, man up, and apologize to DDD like the man we all know you are capable of being. Your call... MOA 'Finger' |

I think what everyone is trying to say is that a lot of people here like these Bible verses and they provide motivation to stay quit another day. It is just frustrating to these people to have someone come in and talk down about their methods. It is just a matter of respect. Respect what works for these people as they respect whatever works for you. There are no sides amongst us here. We're all here to fight against a very bad addiction. We are all on the same team.

I just question what you feel you gain from your comments. Is your self-esteem so low that you only feel better by trying to bring down others? Anyone willing to post weekly verses or defend that person is so secure in their faith, it's never gonna work for you , so you may want to re-assess. Normally, I wouldn't even comment on your trollish remarks, but you chose to place them in a newbies thread. That tells me that you would rather try to run off a Christan than have them quit, which I believe everyone on this site, Christians or not, will have a problem with. Go somewhere else and pick on someone your own size, not a guy still in the fog. Or are you not man enough for that? Like I said earlier, there is a thread for religious debate, if your views are that strong, go debate and discuss them there. |

Dude, seriously. It's HIS introduction thread. How many people have to tell you this is ridiculous, counterproductive, and disrespectful. I can't wrap my mind around why someone would feel the need to try to beat someone down who is just trying to inspire himself and others. You are accomplishing nothing positive here, only negative. I'm not really religious either, but wow. Why can't you (at least) stop, and (doubtfully, but hopefully) apologize. |

Guys, I appreciate the remarks. However, I believe that Glenn is bothering all of you far worse than he is me. Everyone is entitled to their belief system, or their choice of simply not having a belief system. I have dealt with people such as Glenn my entire life and have no issue with them. They choose to have a different perspective and they choose to share it. I choose to ignore it. If coming onto my thread slamming my "verses of the week" somehow helps him feel "whatever" he needs to feel, I am fine with that. My thought was that I would do this weekly for as long as I was a member of this site. My hope in that goal was 3 fold. First, I wanted something to give back which may be of benefit to someone. Secondly, it was a secondary accountability for me. If people get used to seeing my posts and start to miss them (if I were to quit), they may begin to request them again which would serve to help in my 3rd reason for posting this (believe it or not Glenn, several have messaged me asking that I continue - even before you chose to ensure that we all heard your side). Thirdly, it was to get me back into a bible that I have not opened in quite a while. I thought "you know, I am quitting a habit that I have had for a long time and anywhere that I can draw inspiration from will be a worthwhile effort". I knew then that some (currently only one) would likely disapprove of my method, but I don't necessarily approve of all methods that I have seen posted on this site. The difference between Glenn and I is that I choose to say to myself "that helps them, it's their thing and is not mine to judge". Glenn is welcome to say anything he would like in my threads. He's not going to change my belief system. In fact, he is likely only strengthening it. I have made some great friends on this site already and I have absolutely no intention of letting one sour apple spoil the bag of apples. I choose to simply cut the "bad spot" off of that apple and use what I can from it as well. In Glenn's case, there may be nothing left once the bad spot is cut away. However, he's a human with his own ideas and may be of benefit to someone on this earth, and more importanly on this site. He is welcome here, but should be aware that he will not change my weekly goal. |
