kiki to the knicks?

[TheKidHypno]

The Knicks have had preliminary discussions with Kiki Vandeweghe about replacing Isiah Thomas in the front office, but possibly allowing Thomas to continue as head coach, a person with knowledge of the talks told the Daily News.

James Dolan is prepared to strip Thomas of his title as Knicks president, but as implausible as it may seem, the Garden chairman appears committed to keeping Thomas on the bench, where he has complied a 51-89 record since taking over for Larry Brown. The Knicks have not had a winning season and have not won a playoff game since Thomas took over the franchise on Dec. 22, 2003.

The source claims that Vandeweghe would be willing to accept the job of rebuilding the Knicks even if it meant having to retain Thomas. It is unlikely that Jerry Colangelo or Jerry West, two other high-profile candidates mentioned to take over the Knicks' front office, would allow Dolan to decide whether or not Thomas remains as head coach.

he did his job here and got rid of collins,allen,wright, and kidd(getting back pretty good value for him)

kiki doesn't want to leave the nets because he is learning from master dealmaker rod thorn...

maybe kiki has the magic touch with regards to free agent acquisitions and evaluating shooters (kiki was a pretty good one)...a thorn weakness...

maybe kiki is being groomed to succeed 66-yr old rod thorn? also, the mess that is the knicks wouldn't be easy to fix so kiki's would be performance with the knicks wouldn't be that good...

I hope he's being honest and upfront with that, and not just bullshitting reporters. The likeliness of that is pretty low, tho.

if he isn't it will be considered tampering, and the Knicks would likely get penalized w/ a a draft pick and $$$
