Isiah Thomas Returning to NY Knicks?
Knicks owner James Dolan staged a business meeting with Isiah Thomas yesterday morning at the Mandarin Hotel in Midtown, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Thomas, who attended the Basketball Hall of Fame induction last night in Springfield, Mass., still lives at his home in Purchase, where he resided when he was Knicks president and coach during a disastrous reign from 2003-2008 that has made him a pariah with Knicks fans.
The Garden stated it would conduct a search for a new Garden sports president, which is a marketing position. It is possible Dolan was seeking Thomas’ advice on filling the position because he has maintained his friendship with Dolan. Hiring the unpopular Thomas would come at an odd time considering the franchise is dealing with the fan fallout of losing Jeremy Lin and are bracing for the Nets’ debut in Brooklyn.
