Commish should nix Knicks-Isiah pact
The New York Knicks are paying a college basketball coach to help them recruit players, and there are 29 competing NBA teams that likely see this arrangement as an unfair competitive advantage — in their favor.
Isiah Thomas and David Stern -- long before that "not a model of intelligent management" comment.
Executives from those 29 competing NBA teams might’ve popped a hammy or two racing for the champagne when word came that Isiah Thomas is back as James Dolan’s not-so-secret weapon in the ever-escalating arms race for talent.
Thomas is good for business, if you happen to be in the business of outsmarting the Knicks.
But what happens tomorrow when the Miami Heat want to hire John Calipari as a paid consultant? What happens the following day when the Boston Celtics want to reach a similar arrangement with Mike Krzyzewski, and the day after that when the Chicago Bulls want to sign up John Thompson III?
Why can’t every NBA team buy its own Division I middleman, and ask him to manipulate the amateur market to serve its own agenda?
David Stern needs to annul this unfathomable second marriage between Dolan and Thomas, and sooner rather than later. Before that first marriage died a slow and painful death, the commissioner said this of the Knicks and their $11.6 million defeat in a sexual harassment case: “It demonstrates that they’re not a model of intelligent management.”
Nothing’s changed, David. The $850 million renovation of the Garden doesn’t include a refurbishing of Dolan’s priorities, not when the owner still seems far more interested in enraging his fans and defying news media demands than in actually winning a few basketball games.
But this isn’t about ordering Dolan to sack Thomas in the best interests of the Knicks and their battered fan base. This is about protecting the integrity of the sport and the process by which NBA teams acquire young talent.
For starters, as head coach of Florida International, Thomas will be in constant contact with high school players who are ineligible for the draft, players who aren’t even allowed to be scouted by NBA teams. Lord knows what Isiah Lord Thomas might whisper to those recruits to get them to choose FIU over other interested schools.
OK, that’s largely an NCAA problem. And yes, the fact the NCAA would allow a college coach to work as a de facto general manager for an NBA team (Dolan listens to Thomas as much as he listens to team president Donnie Walsh, those in the know say) is almost as hard to believe as the Knicks’ appointment of Thomas itself.
Truth is, Stern can’t do much about the NCAA spraying graffiti all over the spirit of its own rules. But the commissioner can stop NBA franchises from polluting the tributaries feeding into the draft.
Consider this scenario: FIU has a first-round prospect, and the Knicks want to pick him. The New Jersey Nets and Toronto Raptors, both Atlantic Division foes, are interested in the same player and, of course, want to talk to that young man’s coach, who happens to be Thomas, who happens to work for the Knicks, who happen to be hoping the Nets (picking at No. 5) and the Raptors (picking at No. 6) don’t select this player before he can be grabbed by the Knicks (picking at No. 7).
Does Thomas give the Nets and Raptors a less-than-ringing endorsement in an attempt to move them off the kid, even if a slide in the draft would cost that kid a truckload of money? Does Thomas ask his assistants and acquaintances in the college game to deliver the same bogus scouting report to inquiring minds?
FIU has produced Raja Bell and Carlos Arroyo, but no, it’s not exactly Kentucky or North Carolina, a truth that makes little or no difference. Thomas will be afforded greater access to opposing Division I players than any fellow NBA executive. He can talk to them when others can’t. Before these players declare for the draft, Thomas can praise them in news conferences when others aren’t even allowed to speak their names.
“There are a thousand ways a college head coach working for an NBA team can try to manipulate the draft,” said one well-placed NBA source. “He can advise certain players to enter early, advise others not to enter early, and it can all be tied to the interests of the NBA team paying that coach. I can’t see how this would hold up.”
So Stern needs to compel Isiah to make a choice — Knicks consultant or Florida International coach, but not both.
If Thomas were to choose a return to the Garden, the heavy favorite in that prospective two-horse derby, the commissioner couldn’t do much about that.
Other than pray the Knicks one day represent a model of intelligent management.

Team history：
Orlando Magic in 1989 – 1990 season to join NBA. They took only a short time to become a champion contender. Introduced in 1992 when Magic center Shaquille O’Neal, they suddenly increase the competitive strength and become one of the league’s most popular teams.
Orlando Magic joined the NBA in four years ago, local developer Jim Hewitt bankers began to Orlando, NBA Sign up ideas and actions. His first general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers Pateweilian Williams invited Florida. Then Williams began to promote the Orlando Magic T-shirts, caps and other merchandise, and book tickets to local audiences to enjoy the season package offers 100 dollars.
Hewitt submitted 10 million dollars in the “entry fee”, the Orlando NBA military expansion as one of the candidates. One year after the NBA Board of Directors on April 22 voted to Orlando in 1989 – 1990 joined the NBA.
Orlando is one of the NBA’s new army in 1989, it joined the NBA. Like many first joined the NBA teams, like Orlando has experienced several failures before the season. 1989-1990 season, the Magic to 18 wins, 64 negative end. Next two seasons is also unsatisfactory, negative 51, 1991, 31 wins, 21 wins in 1992, 61 negative.
Orlando’s history in the fourth season has changed. Magic team won the 1992 number one draft pick, they selected Louisiana State University – Shaquille O’Neal (Shaquille O’Neal). O’Neal has been a force almost in a one-to bring the Magic. When the season, O’Neal is averaging 23.4 points per game and 13.9 rebounds and 3.53 blocked shots, after Jordan in 1985 became the first into the All-Star Game starting lineup for rookie. Orlando won 41 of 41 negative results 1992-93 regular season ended, they still could not make the playoffs.
But in 1993, failed to make the playoffs, the Magic is almost a good thing, because they have been the second consecutive year this number one pick, the Magic team picked the “penny” Hardaway (Anfernee Hardaway). Hardaway in the first season scored per game on 16.0 points, 6.6 assists and 5.4 rebounds and 2.32 steals. Get the help of Hardaway, Shaquille O’Neal and more overwhelming, with an average of 29.3 points per game, and David – Robinson (David Robinson) competing alliances, “scoring” of the title. Davis – Robinson scored in the last game by 71 points, only to narrowly defeat O’Neal, but O’Neal hit rate 59.5% is unequaled in the league. When the season when the Magic made 32 of 50 wins held, and finally for the first time into the playoffs. But the Pacers were eliminated first round.
In 1994, O’Neal appeared in the “Dream Team II” and the victorious return, O’Neal came back with a winner after the momentum has flourished and Magic team led by Shaquille O’Neal and Penny Hardaway made the best of 57 wins 25 East negative. In the playoffs, the Magic team has eliminated the Boston Celtics, Bulls and Pacers, and the Western champion Rockets meet in the Finals. Finals, O’Neal failed to withstand the young Hakeem Olajuwon (Hakeem Olajuwon), Magic in the first horns although the Rockets overtime, but in the end still lost 118 than 120. Since then Rockets like gangbusters, eventually to the total score of 4 to 0 to get this team a second championship.
Although the impact of unsuccessful champion, O’Neal has played in the NBA were the first. 1995-1996 season, he led the Magic made 22 of 60 wins a negative success, once again make the playoffs, and into the Eastern Finals. But O’Neal is facing the back of the Bulls led by Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference finals 4 to 0 out of Orlando.
1996, O’Neal left the Orlando Magic to switch to the Los Angeles Lakers, Orlando Magic’s “magic” come to an end, but they are still in the east are more powerful teams.
2000-2001 season, the Magic’s Tracy McGrady scored Raptors (Tracy McGracy) and Detroit’s Grant – Hill (Grant Hill), one stroke to become the voice of the highest in eastern team to win. Unfortunately, up to 93 million U.S. dollars worth of the Hill has been suffering from an ankle injury of torture, almost ruining his career. Magic can only take McGrady handedly worked hard. While Tracy McGrady led the Magic in 2001 and 2002, reach the playoffs for two consecutive years, but each time was eliminated in the first round.
2002-2003 season, Hill has improved injury, Magic start of the record is not bad. Tracy McGrady still strong attack power, repeatedly won the early season scores. Two Stars and Mike – Miller (Mike Miller), Pat – Garrity (Pat Garrity) and Armstrong (Darrell Armstrong) composed Orlando lineup. Quarters was Sean – Kemp (Shawn Kemp) also made a strengthened Orlando, if your body unharmed, then Hill, Orlando’s goal more than just the playoffs.
Although 02 and 03 are two seasons won the league in scoring Tracy McGrady, but the team’s poor performance so thoroughly disappointed with Tracy McGrady, the team made a major deal, he defected Rockets, the Magic will be Francis, Mobley and Cato. After the transaction, the team scores remained flat in 2004 they got Dwight Howard。
In Howard’s first two seasons, Orlando record remains poor. 06-07 season, a strong rise of Howard, the league’s most potent power forward.
The summer of 2007, Magic with a generous, free agent first billions of dollars paid by Lewis, then 5 years 85 million contract, Howard has become one of the most competitive teams in eastern one, welcome from the dissolution Hardaway Orlando O’Neill The best moment.
08-09 season, the Rockets, Magic, Grizzlies tripartite deal, Raphael – Alstom (Rafer Alston) was traded to the Orlando Magic, a powerful point guard Magic. Interestingly, Alston wore jersey No. 1 magic dust, Tracy McGrady and the “Penny” Hardaway in Orlando are wearing jersey No. 1. Magic increasingly being optimistic. In this season’s playoffs, the way Magic beat the Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, after a lapse of 13 seasons the Finals again, but in the grand final to 1 in 4 do not Los Angeles Lakers enemy, unfortunately, was second.
2009 summer in the NBA draft a few hours before the Nets and the Magic agreed, Nets Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson will be sent to Orlando in exchange for Rafael Alston, Tuoni Ba Steven and Courtney Lee.

As early as 1948, on joining the NBA, the Kings are not known for its outstanding record in the NBA, frequent migration, so that the team won the “King of the total in the travel,” the title.
Prior to joining the NBA’s early years, the original Royals team was the NBA in a big team, and won the NBA championship in 1951. But then, they have not tasted the title no longer taste.
In 1957, the team moved to Cincinnati and renamed the Cincinnati Royals. – Oscar Robertson came to the Royals have a new hope. However, the Royals have never been able to break through the Boston Celtics this insurmountable obstacle. During this period, the powerful Boston Celtics to 13 titles in 11 seasons were dominated momentum NBA. In 1972, the team moved to the west and renamed the Kansas City – Omaha Kings. The team was renamed again in 1975, Kansas City Kings.

Washington Wizards of the name change is the most NBA teams. Just joined the NBA in 1961, the Wizards settle in Chicago, called Chicago Packers team in the second year immediately renamed the team the Chicago wind, the third moved to Baltimore and renamed the Baltimore Bullets. 1973-1974 season, the capital was renamed the Baltimore Bullets team, but next year they changed to the Washington Bullets team, until the 1997-1998 season was changed to the current Washington Wizards.
WashingtonWizards name dazzling, but the history is very clear from the 60′s, they are one of the eastern part of strong teams, year after year into the playoffs. However, Wizards 90 losers most of the time playing the role of the 90′s they only been to the playoffs in the 1996-1997 season.
1961-1962 season, the Packers won 62 of 18 teams held the second season, changed its name to “wind force,” but record is still a mess. Renamed the Bullets failed immediately after the effective ,1964-1965 season, the Bullets into the playoffs for the first time and into the second round, but the Lakers were eliminated by 4 to 2.
In 1969, the team stepped into the eastern bullet lite. 1967-1968 season, the Bullets select the “pearl” El – Monroe (Earl Monroe) ,1968-1969 Bullets team also selected rookie season, Weiss – Angseerde (Wes Unseld).
1968-1969 season, the Bullets made the best of 57 wins NBA 25 negative. Their offensive power class, when the season scoring average to 116.4 points per game. Monroe averaged 25.8 points, Loger in (Loughery) averaged 22.6 points. Angsaierde averaged 13.8 points and 18.2 rebounds, and “Best Rookie” and the MVP of two generals into her arms, became the second after following Chamberlain also won the honor two people. However, despite the regular season is wonderful, but the first round of the playoffs the Bullets was the Knicks eliminated.
From 1966 to 1980, the Bullets into the playoffs 15 consecutive times, 1971, 1975, 1978 and 1979 also reached the final four. 1977-1978 season, the Bullets team coach Motta (Motta), led by won the championship that year. Bullets team wins 15 of 24 negative start, the last to win 38 of 44 negative results into the playoffs, first round of bullets Team 2 to 0 victory over the Hawks; the second round and third round of the team with two bullets to 2 out of 4 San Antonio (then go east) and the 76ers, and Seattle in the Finals tournament. Finals, the Bullets teams of 2 to 3 behind first, but the excellent play in the Angsaierde, the Lianban two, won the championship.
1978-1979 season, the Bullets team into the finals again, but this is Seattle’s revenge, 4 to 1 victory over the Bullets, the summit successfully. Since then, in the 80′s, 6 teams into the playoff rounds, but only in 1982 entered the second round.
90′s, the bullets start with the failure of justice team, from 1989 to 2002 for 14 years, the Bullets (Wizards) only entered into the playoffs in 1997, but the Bulls out of the first round was.
On the Wizards to be forgotten when Jordan Wizards comeback, only to re-attract the attention of everyone. 2001-2002, Jordan second comeback, joining the Wizards, Wizards surging popularity, their games almost packed. That season, Jordan scored 22.9 points per game 5.2 assists and 1.42 steals, almost Wizards into the playoffs, but his knee injury last season, the Wizards big power loss, failed to make the playoffs.
2002-2003 season, Jordan played in the sixth before the identity of a dozen games, but later when the Wizards were losing streak, he also became the main force.
