Nothing would make me happier.

Are things seriously going to get this apocalyptic in NY? There'll be a revolt surely.
Unbelievable.
Amongst some of the things Thomas claims:
When asked if LeBron James would be a Knick if Thomas still ran the team, he said: ?I have to believe that? If I?m still there? we may have had LeBron and Wade.?
?I think I?m still the GM and president of the Knicks if it wasn?t for that (sexual harassment) trial.?
?I?ve never actually gotten fired for a basketball reason.?
?I think I was really close to winning in New York.?
?When I look at my GM/executive record, if I?m evaluated on that, then whoever?s after Donnie (Walsh), if you?re not talking about some of the top people in the game, I?ll put my draft evaluation record up against anyone?s.?
?That?s a problem with being a visionary,? Thomas said. ?You?re way too far out, and by the time it catches up, people will hack you to death.?

Of course, we shouldn?t be surprised at this behavior. It?s what Thomas and Dolan do.
Thomas is known to turn people off. Here?s a list of his actions:
He did not get along with Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson as a player.
When he ran the Raptors, he alienated ownership.
He bailed out on the CBA by taking the Pacers job rather than trying to save them.
He ran many good basketball people out of town in New York (just ask Larry Brown). He certainly didn?t care about his players when he ran the Knicks.
He engaged himself in a fight with Knicks fans at the Garden often. He instigated brawls with the other team by having his players punch other team?s players with ?hard fouls.?
Are things seriously going to get this apocalyptic in NY? There'll be a revolt surely.
Unbelievable.
