<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Even though the Knicks won just 33 games and failed to reach the playoffs for the fifth time in six years, Isiah Thomas said yesterday that he is not planning to make any major changes to the roster this summer.
"I'm pretty happy with what we have," he said.
Evidently, the plan for 2007-08 is that a healthier and wiser team will make an eight-game improvement. That seems like a rather pedestrian strategy for one of the league's most active executives. Thomas the head coach couldn't possibly agree with Thomas the team president on this one.
"I don't think I'll be aggressively out on the market," Thomas said.
You could also hear Thomas winking when he said it. What Thomas says in April and what he does in June, July and August are two entirely different things. People close to the Knicks' decision-maker say that Thomas has every intention of making a run at Indiana's Jermaine O'Neal. Thomas will also explore prying Kevin Garnett away from Minnesota, but it's unlikely that Garnett will be moved.</div>
