Isiah is treating the media just like he did when he was President/General Manager/Head Coach. Throw out 10 conflicting reports, deny involvement in the whole situation, and just shrug your shoulders and smile.
He makes it really hard for people to like him. This is the closest any Knicks fan will ever get to feeling bad for him and then he pulls his media stunt and now we're all just, "whaddya expect from the man?"

NY isn't going to put up with sub-500 Knicks teams forever. Perhaps he is waiting for 2010 free agency, when guys like LeBron, Chris Paul, Wade, Anthony, Nowitzki, Stoudemire etc, will be on the market. Personally I think LeBron will end up a Knick in 2010 (or Kobe to NY, LeBron to LA), Cleveland is no place (or franchise) for a talent like him. Good point about the coaches - hall of famers some of them - if the likes of Iverson and Billups can make such progress under Larry Brown, why can't Marbury?
Hope Isaiah gets some help...probably not the most well-liked guy in New York lately.

The problem is that the people who show up at the Garden aren't Knicks fans. They're just corporate bigwigs, celebrities, and athletes from other sports who go there so they can get their picture taken and appear on Page 6 of the New York Post. Management has proven that it's all they care about, so they'll make the team mediocre enough to keep the celebrities happy, while the remaining fans just give up and go to support the other New York sports teams.
If Cleveland loses LeBron to New York, it won't be because NY did anything special to acquire him. They let Boozer sweet talk his way out of there (which John Paxson should've been fired for, IMO), and in the meantime they've done nothing through trade, free agency, or the draft to give LeBron a credible wingman. Ben Wallace is good, but he's getting old and he's too defensively minded. If they want to keep LeBron past 2010, they need to worry more about giving him some help so he's not a one man show year after year. They'll just have to hope that Mo Williams is the wingman King James needs to rule the Eastern Conference.
