It's been reported that Isiah Thomas is prepared to trade Channing Frye and Penny Hardaway's expiring contract for Kenyon Martin and Earl Watson.
I have absolutely no idea what that trade does for the Knicks besides putting them further over the salary cap, making them older, more brittle, more injury prone and more fan-unfriendly. There is no question that Isiah Thomas is an astute evaluator of talent. The problem is that he is a terrible executive. He lacks vision and foresight and the intestinal fortitude and conviction required to see an idea through to its completion. Instead, he makes decisions on the fly and runs his business willy-nilly. How else to explain the doing and undoing of the Knicks roster in the two-plus years that he's been in charge.
Isiah and Larry Brown need to be fired. James Dolan needs to be hung. The team needs a real owner and real executives if the Knicks are ever to be relevant again. Until these things happen, the Knicks will morph into the Clippers and Kings of the 1980's - bad teams with no hope for the future.
