After Isiah Thomas is honored and cheered tonight at The Palace, he steps into the firing line tomorrow with his expected meeting with new president Donnie Walsh. Walsh spent the past few days gathering belongings in Indiana, but returns to New York tomorrow to attend his first game as Garden president when the Knicks host Charlotte. Indications are Walsh will not make a coaching change tomorrow, but is planning the move after the season. Thomas is lobbying to remain in a front-office capacity. Walsh, at last Wednesday's press conference, said he wanted to meet with Thomas first before making a rash decision.

There is only 5 games left! Of course he is going to finish out the season.

Oh wait, this is the Post. What did I expect, good journalism? Foolish me.

If he's made it this far, he can make it another week..

Who gets a bigger ovation tonight, Isiah or Rodman?

I'll volunteer my left nut to the ax, but don't make me chose.

lame update

April 8, 2008  10:47 AM ET

It's okay to let him finish out the season. But I hope Isiah is fully aware that he better pack up his office after the last game. I'll even help him.

Front ofccie position? does a janitor count??

April 8, 2008  11:20 AM ET

No, Janitor is more middle management.

April 8, 2008  11:21 AM ET

What kind of "front office popsition" could he be trusted with? All he deserves is transportation to the airport. Anything else gives him the chance to screw it up.

April 8, 2008  11:21 AM ET

position. Sorry.

April 8, 2008  12:29 PM ET

Isiah can still work for the Knicks.........Skycap!

April 8, 2008  12:31 PM ET

Nothing like knowing you have job security...through next week!

April 8, 2008  12:56 PM ET

Season over people I'm back!

Where do I start?

Okay knick can not keep Isiah. The knick are in better shape then they were when Isiah took over. That said, Isiah did not get the job done.

The Knick have pieces to trade. They will be under the cap after next year. The knick do have young talent.

Zach or Curry must go. We can start there!

Your 'S' key broken?

April 8, 2008  01:18 PM ET

LionTut when did you hop onto the "fire Isiah" bandwagon? You were tooting his 'horn' all season saying he was the best and now here you are.

Isiah can stay as the janitor. Make him earn those millions. Keep him as a scout and make him scout the one thing he detests so much....Europeans. Keep him far away from the front office. Hell go make him scout Frederic Weis since they still own the rights to him.

But Liontut stop with the bandwagon crap. Your a Piston's fan in a Knicks Uni.

April 8, 2008  02:01 PM ET

I am not on the fire Isiah bandwagon. Have your fun. I thought Isiah could get it done.

The point I am making is clear. Isiah has been replaced at the president position. and I don't think isiah is a good coach.

I think Isiah has moved the Kcinks in the right direction, but not fast enough.

I still like Isiah, but not as a coach. I always said I was a Knick fan first.

5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 "YOU ARE FIRED" !!!

April 8, 2008  02:02 PM ET

I have plenty of time to write, let's get started!

April 8, 2008  02:07 PM ET

"I think Isiah has moved the Kcinks in the right direction, but not fast enough."

You're not being serious are you? What direction are the Knicks headed? If you mean front row at the draft lottery, than yes, he's made reservations there.

Isiah did bring talent to the knicks but paid WAYYYYY to much for it....so trade'n the over paid talen is going to be difficult....but get'n rid of the guy who gave away the money....EZ....who brought in LARRY Brown, to only fire him??? Zach ???? Rose 7,525,397???? Marbury 17,184,375 ???? J James 5,400,000???Cato K???
