http://ppt.cc/aM4r Knicks owner Dolan asked for sit-down with Isiah Knicks owner James Dolan called Friday morning’s meeting with Isiah Thomas at the Mandarin Hotel in Midtown, though Thomas already was headed up to Springfield, Mass., for the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies, according to a person close to Thomas. 杜兰跟笑笑汤前几天有个私下会面 Though Dolan has no desire to have Thomas fill Scott O'Neil's job as Madison Square Garden sports president because it is a marketing position, the Knicks owner summoned Thomas on short notice. 在这个MSG的体育销售顾问Scott O'Neil辞职的时期,大家都认为杜兰想要找回笑笑汤 虽然杜兰目前没有提出要笑笑汤回归的要求 Though he has reached out to Dolan relentlessly to offer assistance and advice, this time, according to a source, Dolan reached out to Thomas for the meeting. 杜兰仍旧会去听笑笑汤给出的建议跟意见 Coach Mike Woodson is down an assistant coach after Kenny Atkinson resigned, and a source said plans are in the works to fill the position. It is doubtful Thomas would come on as an assistant, but serving as a training-camp instructor for Woodson, his former Indiana University teammate, isn't unfathomable. 或许他是来当尼克的助理教练? So with the Knicks' eccentric owner, everything is possible. 依照杜兰以前脑残的模式,一切都是有可能的 ---------------------------------------------- http://ppt.cc/9dHO Source: Isiah Thomas hesitant to take job with NY Knicks after conversations with James Dolan 笑笑汤对於现在接受尼克的工作有所犹豫 According to a source close to the former Knicks president, Thomas and Garden chairman James Dolan have had numerous discussions about a position in the organization, but Thomas has been reluctant to accept the job offer. 知情人说杜兰已经多次向笑笑汤提出工作的邀请,但是笑笑汤目前还不想接受这份工作 “Isiah is very close with Jim Dolan but he's told me that he's not ready to jump back into the NBA just yet,” said the source, who was with Thomas on Friday at the Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Springfield, Mass. “There's this perception out there that Isiah is desperate to get back, but that's false. "笑笑汤跟杜兰是很亲密的,但是他目前还没准备要回到NBA,很多人都说他迫不及待想回去 这是错的!" There are two basketball positions available in the Knicks organization. 现在尼克有两个空缺的职位 The club is looking to hire a D-League head coach, and Woodson is looking to add an assistant. In fact, LaSalle Thompson, Woodson's former teammate with the Kings, is a leading candidate to replace Kenny Atkinson, who was recently hired by the Atlanta Hawks. 山猫的LaSalle Thompson可能会成为尼克的助理教练,当然或许笑笑汤也在校想这位子 Thomas is not a candidate to replace Scott O’Neil, who was removed from his position as Garden president on Wednesday. 也或许是接Scott O’Neil的位子? 另外关於说笑笑汤只有选秀能看的传闻 有个另外一面的文章可以看一下 其实早在2010年八 月，那时尼克老板James Dolan想重新聘请Isiah Thomas 担任球队顾 问。 後来被联盟否决了，因为笑笑汤当时是佛州国际大学总教练职务的身分，会产生利益冲突 。 外界普遍认为笑笑汤Isiah Thomas 没有良好的管理能力，但有一手不错的选秀技术。 当初选择的David Lee 等人都在後来成为可塑之才，不过这可是有内幕的.... 05 年6 月，当时尼克手握首轮第30 号签，他最初想选择的球员是Chris Taft，而不是 David Lee。 当时笑笑汤身边所有管理层同事及球探都恳求他改变主意，尽管他们中没人相信D. Lee 会有一天成为全明星，一个能拿8000 万美元合约的球员，但是他们都了解：Chris Taft 糟糕透顶 直到笑笑汤的好友－B. Suhr 出马做劝说，Thomas 总算听从建议选择David Lee。 不过他还是厉声说道：「你最好踏马的搞对了。」 事实证明，尼克的选择是对的(C. Taft只打过17场NBA便因为背伤退出比赛)，笑笑汤也可 以靠着D. Lee 来骗吃骗喝继续宣称自己是选秀大师级选手。( 马刺总管R.C. Buford 表 示：喔ˊ_>ˋ ) 因为曾在尼克发生了性丑闻事件，NBA各球队都不会给他一份工作机会。 但是只有一名旧爱愿意听刺客的想法：尼克老板Dolan。 过去在Yahoo 方面爆出尼克选秀试训丑闻後，Dolan 才意识到笑笑汤为他带来的麻烦有多 大。 不过旧爱总是最美的，仅管刺客在佛罗里达国际大学执教成绩一样差劲，今年四月才被球 队解雇，执教期间球队只有26 胜65 负的战绩。 但Dolan 仍忘不了过去的美好时光(!? ，竟然又找回他密谈，如果人事案成功通过，恐怕 尼克的黑暗时刻就快再次来临了... 笑笑汤不要回来啊.... --
