According to this

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=A ... s-walshout

Donnie Walsh won't be back as president of the team next season. He will be retained as an advisor and consultant. Now it's time to sit back and watch Dolan the MOTHERFUCKING Idiot fuck this up.

Dolan's an idiot. He gives Walsh an absolutely horrible line up with tons of overpaid losers. Walsh turns it around and converts all that crap into two all stars and cap flexibility.

if he brings back Isiah, I will laugh my butt off

If he brings back Zeke, I'm going to strangle him with Zeke's entrails, and then finish off Zeke with Dolan's entrails.

WTF? This one's on Walsh. Dolan offered an extension and Walsh declined. He's the damned team president - we all know he has health issues, so in a couple of years you begin to delegate you moron, cultivate a successor yourself... don't just tell us how much you wanted to continue as you walk away. Screw him.

I just heard an interview with the Daily News' Frank Isola. Apparently Dolan the MOTHERFUCKING Idiot lowballed Walsh with an offer that included a 40% pay cut and no guarantee of autonomy. I believe that's what is known as a "fuck you offer".

All that progress may end up going down the tubes, especially if Dolan the MOTHERFUCKING Idiot brings back Zeke.

Donnie Walsh had a verbal agreement weeks ago with Knicks owner James Dolan to return as team president with full autonomy in basketball operations. The 70-year-old was even willing to take a paycut to finish the job of returning the Knicks to NBA relevance.

But when Walsh got the contract documents in recent days, there were addendums regarding the power structure with which he was uncomfortable. It became the final straw in his tumultuous relationship with Dolan.

The wording in the contract did not give Walsh full and final authority to hire and groom his successor -- which was something he sought. The source said Walsh was offered a downgrade in salary to roughly $2.5 million after making in the $4.5M range this past season.

Isiah Thomas no longer harbors visions of replacing Donnie Walsh in New York.

Seven months after telling ESPNNewYork.com that he thought of replacing former New York Knicks president and general manager Walsh "every single day of the week," Thomas said Friday that he is no longer interested in the job Walsh just vacated, the same job Isiah himself once held.

"I have no desire to return as president of the Knicks," said Thomas, now the head coach of Florida International University. "I'm not a candidate to replace Donnie. I like the job I have right now, and the toll that the (Knicks) job took on me, my wife, and my kids, I don't want to go through that again."

This week, on AS THE WORM TURNS...

Jeezus. Dolan had to make that offer knowing Walsh wouldn't accept it. Meaning Dolan had someone ready to step in. Was that Zeke, who now says he's not interested?
Or does Dolan believe there won't be a season and as such isn't sweating?

According to one of the NY papers today, the pay cut apparently has to do with Dolan the MOTHERFUCKING Idiot's presumption that there will be a lockout. Still, as far as I can tell, this was a "go fuck yourself" offer that smarmy little ratbastard dropped on Walsh.

I'm really not convinced that Dolan the MOTHERFUCKING Idiot won't find a way to completely fuck this up before long.

Kenny, Dolan the MOTHERFUCKING Idiot doesn't care about winning. I'm not even sure he cares about money, because putting a winning team on the floor would generate MORE FUCKING MONEY.

I have no idea what the sonofabitch's problem is, beyond the unassailable fact that he's a MOTHERFUCKING IDIOT.

Please, Commissioner Stern...put us out of our misery and make them sell the damn team!

Now Dolan will look for a new president. Glen Grunwald will be interim and could keep the position during the expected lockout season. "If Isiah Thomas could be president, anybody can do it,'' Marbury quipped. (New York Post)

Ironic that one of Thomas' dumbest acquisitions was Marbury

The only thing Dolan the MOTHERFUCKING Idiot could do which would be dumber than rehiring Zeke would be hiring Marbury.
