Donnie Walsh应该得到年度最佳球队总裁，他找来了Amar'e和Landry。 There was a time a few years ago when James Dolan was so giddy at the prospect of Isiah Thomas actually getting the Knicks into the playoffs that when the Knicks managed to get into the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference - while the season was still going on - that he nearly blew out an ACL rushing forth to give Thomas a contract extension. 球队老板 James Dolan过去几年一直迷信笑笑汤能带领球队以东区前八杀入季後赛--而球 季继续进行中--笑笑汤也得到了续约。 (blew out an ACL rushing 不知其意 还请高手指点) The Knicks, of course, didn't make the playoffs that year. They only made the playoffs one time while Thomas was running the team, an era that you would call the Madison Square Garden version of the Great Depression except that Thomas didn't lose fortunes, he just spent them. 当然那年球队最终并没有进入季後赛。笑笑汤在位期间仅有一次带领球队进入季後赛，那 是一段让人非常失望的岁月，笑笑汤并非没有机会，他只是浪费了。 You can only imagine what would have happened if Thomas and the Knicks had made the playoffs that year, Dolan might have made Isiah coach and general manager for life. 如果笑笑汤在那段时间都带队进入季後赛，Dolan会终生聘请他当教练和总管。 But he did not. Dolan finally had to fire him, even though you know it nearly gave him the bends having to do it. It shocked Isiah, who probably assumed that all the bootlicking he had done with Dolan had made him bulletproof, even to Anucha Browne Sanders. 但是他没有。Dolan最终炒了他，虽然你认为这早就应该如此了。笑笑汤有些意外，可能是 他认为他对Dolan的巴结可以让他的工作安稳，即使在他对球队经营总管Anucha Browne Sanders做出了性骚扰後一样。 At the urging of NBA Commissioner David Stern, Dolan hired Donnie Walsh to come in and clean up the mess of bad contracts and bad feelings that Thomas had left behind. Walsh had as big and hard a job as there was in his sport at the time, not just somehow getting the Knicks some relief under the salary cap, but to do something much more important: Stern推荐 Dolan 找Donnie Walsh 来清理笑笑汤留下的烂摊子。Walsh上任后面对很多难 题，不只是清出薪资空间，更重要的是: Make the Knicks matter again. 重新振作尼克。 And getting the rest of the league to stop laughing at them the way they had laughed at the LA Clippers for years, laughed at the Nets until Rod Thorn took over in New Jersey and showed you what a difference a great basketball man can make. 他停止了来自各方的嘲笑一如他们嘲笑快艇多年、嘲笑篮网直到Rod Thorn接手，让他们见 识到一位伟大篮球人所能做到的。 That is the real bottom line on what Walsh faced in the late innings of a proud basketball life that had begun in the Bronx. It wasn't just that the Knicks hadn't won a playoff game since April of 2001. It wasn't just that the one time they did make the playoffs on Thomas' toxic watch, they got swept by the Nets in four games. It was that they had become not just one of the laughingstocks of the NBA, but all professional sports. 这不过是Walsh在尼克上任后为获得尊重而完成最基本一件事情。这不是因为尼克上次在季 後赛胜出是在2001年4月。这不是因为笑笑汤在季後赛被篮网横扫的臭脸。这是因为他们成 为了不只是NBA而是全职业运动的笑柄。 "You don't just do it to come home," Donnie Walsh said the last time we spoke. "You do it because you honestly believe you can make a difference." "决不只是工作这麽简单，"Walsh在上次会谈中表示。"我真心的想要为这支球队作出一些 改变。" And that is what he has done. And that is why he would already have had his contract extended by anybody except Dolan, who only looks like a better owner now because of one guy: Donnie Walsh. Maybe Dolan is still thinking about a way to bring Thomas back, which would officially mean he has as much contempt for his own paying customers as he does the media. And is as much of an idiot about those fans. 这就是他为球队作出的。这就是大家都希望能和他续约除了老板，一位相较於Walsh而言就 只是一位比较好的老板而已。也许老板还想要请笑笑汤回锅，如果是这样他就会得到球迷 们的鄙视。对於球迷而言就只是一位猪头。 关於传言笑笑汤回锅的新闻 http://0rz.tw/ezpis --
