Walsh In
It wasn’t much of a surprise, but Donnie Walsh is the new GM of the NYK.
Now I wonder how long Thomas will be coach for. I think they should give him a cushy job as a scout, since he seems to be decent at evaluating talent. I just don’t think he is a good negotiator or strategic planner. NY should have a good pick this year in the draft, and quite a few players on the team could be moved for inferior players with better contracts. I think tanking it with a hard-working team would be the way to go for the next few years.
Also, the LB James rumors are absurd. He will never leave Ohio as long as they can compete. The whole thing is a pipe dream, and while you gotta make that run if there is a chance, I am pretty sure he will not leave the Cavs in 2010. You don’t ever get these guys until they are near the end, like Garnett.

Yeah, I think Isaiah’s days are numbered. Few men have been so universally hated by New Yorkers in my recent memory! Ok, maybe Eliot Spitzer.
