Phil Jackson has expressed concern over the presence of Isiah Thomas at
Madison Square Garden.

Thomas was recently hired as president of the New York Liberty of the WNBA.
Thomas continues to have a close relationship with James Dolan.

There has been speculation that Thomas could eventually replace Jackson to
run the New York Knicks again.

“He’s not happy about it but what can he do about it,” said one Garden
official, who requested anonymity. “This is just the start of it.”

The WNBA Board of Governors has yet to approve Thomas’ ownership and a
person familiar with the process believes it will be rejected.

Jackson has little experience when it comes to running the draft and free
agency and the feeling is that Dolan will again use Thomas as a consultant.

“He’s an excellent judge of talent and I’m confident that he will put all
of his energy and experience into making the Liberty a perennially
competitive and successful team,” Dolan said in a statement last week.

Jackson is entering the second year of a five-year deal to run the Knicks.


翻譯上述文章以及補充的資料






Isiah Thomas在紐約曾有一段很不風光的回憶，多筆令人質疑的球員交易以及管理球隊的
風波都讓他在麥迪遜花園飽受批評，尤其是他對於前尼克隊行銷公關副總裁Anucha
Browne Sanders的性騷擾案件和後續不願認錯的行為，更使球團付出1000多萬美元的賠款
，這些舊聞使他這次入主WNBA球隊的舉動飽受質疑。



  據紐約尼克內部匿名者的透漏，Dolan對於現在球隊運作的情形並不是很滿意，而他對於
Jackson在休賽季的選秀和自由市場上的生澀也不慎信任，因此很有可能Dolan會聘任


  不論最終Thomas入主紐約自由人隊的行動成功與否，他近期在紐約的回歸和與老闆的大
和解已經為後續麥迪遜花園一連串人事調整埋下伏筆。
