David Stern: Where are you?
Someone explain to me why David Stern isn’t doing anything about the mess in New York that’s going on. With all the other leagues taking tougher stances we haven’t heard one thing from the Commissioner on the Isiah Thomas/James Dolan Madison Square Garden issue. Honestly, football commish Goodell has had his hands full and is sending a clear message to the league as to what he will or won’t tolerate and has drawn his line in the sand. Meanwhile, David Stern is like the rest of us, watching Sportscenter drinking a diet coke. This kills me. How does Isiah Thomas still have a job? If this guy was running your company you’d can him completely by now. The Knicks had to pay 45 million in a luxury tax situation and now another 11 mill for this. The word on the street is that the owner believes Isiah did nothing wrong here. It doesn’t matter. In the past we’ve seen players commit crimes and still have jobs because they were good players. In this case, Isiah Thomas isn’t even good at what he does. He’s spent money like crazy for a losing product and to top it off they have over 18 players under contract for next season when you can’t go over 15 when the year starts. He’s drafted poorly and the team underperforms. Now this. The NBA needs the Knicks to be good and if James Dolan, Knicks owner, isn’t going to do anything then Stern needs to step up and act. It’s time.
