Isiah Thomas Banned from Contacting Knicks Players

In a funny story, it's come out that one of the terms of his reassignment in the organization is that Isiah Thomas cannot contact any of his former players.

ESPN - Report: Ex-Knicks coach Thomas banned from contacting players - NBA

"According to the report, there is concern that Thomas, if allowed to have any contact with the team, could either willingly or unwillingly undermine its new coach. Thomas acquired all the players on the current Knicks roster as team president.

But the agreement does not prohibit Thomas from speaking to Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan, according to the report.

Thomas does not have an official title. He reports directly to Walsh, who said no player brought up Thomas' name during last week's exit meetings Thursday."

Re: Isiah Thomas Banned from Contacting Knicks Players

It's comical when you put all the pieces together.

Thomas was reassigned within the organization.

He has no employees under him.

He cannot have contact with the players.

He has no official title.

So why exactly is he still on the payroll, anyway?

Because if he quits I guess they don't owe him the big money...so you give him a job where he is forced to suck it up so bad...that he quits...

Plus, Dolan loves the guy.

Ugh, amazing. Have you ever heard of a guy who plain failed at his job the way Zeke did...and NOT be fired? What redeeming qualities has he had?

He provides positive energy for his team using new wave crystals in his office...

We know how much trouble Isiah got into with basically every major job in the Knicks organization, can't imagine what he'll do with all that time on his hands.

I suspect his title will have something to deal with being an athletic supporter.

Re: Isiah Thomas Banned from Contacting Knicks Players

Gotham is right- Thomas must have pictures. It is unfathomable that he is still employed in any capacity by the Knicks.
