Open For Business
Jun 13 - Isiah Thomas has not given up on the dream of landing an established superstar this summer, most notably Kobe Bryant or Jermaine O'Neal if they become available.
Thomas did not mention any names, but said yesterday he was open for business if the Lakers or Pacers decide to move their marquee stars.
"There are players still out there who have publicly said they want to be traded," Thomas said. "I'm open." -- Newark Star-Ledger
Isiah Thomas, whose Knicks own the 23rd pick in this summer's draft -- thanks to the Eddy Curry trade -- said the team is leaning toward keeping its selection on June 28, but is not opposed to trading it.
"My intention is to keep it," Thomas said. "We're hoping to find a player or two that can help us. But I'm open. We can possibly pass on the best player to get what we need." When asked what the Knicks need, Thomas said, "everything." -- New York Daily News
other news ...
The Knicks lost 15 of their final 19 games to finish 33-49 this season, in large part because Jamal Crawford, David Lee and Quentin Richardson were injured.
Crawford, who had a stress fracture in his right ankle, is fully recovered and playing again in his hometown, Seattle. Lee, who had an injury to his right leg, has been working out daily at the Knicks? training center in Greenburgh, N.Y., and "looks good," Thomas said. Richardson, he added, is on track in his recovery from back surgery. -- New York Times
Thomas ruled out the idea of hiring Patrick Ewing as an assistant coach. "The staff is pretty full right now," Thomas said. "We probably have one more assistant than we really need. So, I don't think I would bring anyone in at this time."-- Newark Star-Ledger
