Today is officially the day that the New York Knicks can begin the long process of turning the disaster created by Isiah Thomas into a legitimate team, as Donnie Walsh was introduced as team President. Earlier today Will pretty much nailed the big question, which is will Isiah stay on as head coach? At least initially, Walsh is saying he's undecided, and is trying to go into this thing without any preconceived notions.
So to clarify, Isiah's atrocious roster decisions mean that the Knicks have zero cap flexibility for the next three years. That alone might be reason enough to replace him as coach, although I can't think of a better punishment than to force him to coach this lottery team for two or three more seasons, and then replace him once the team finally starts to turn the corner with some new players.

To unravel this mess is going to take time;
This is the reality of the knicks so, do not expect miracles from Walsh.

When you think things could not get any worse for the Knicks....what do they do? Hire Donnie Walsh. Good luck Knicks fans your going to need alot of it. He and Isiah Thomas ran the Pacers into the ground.... so dont expect much more this time around. Its too bad they cant get Larry Bird and Thomas and Walsh all on the same team together, that way they can run one team into the ground instead of two teams (Pacers and Knicks)
