Hint: Write top 50 reasons why any coach and/or GM reason might fail,
check
all of them, there's your clue Mr. GimmeMyRetirementCheck.

And yet we're NOT going to get rid of him. Go figure that!

UNBELIEVABLE.
Either this is Mr. GimmeMyRetirementCheck's first big lie or, it gets
worse,
he had NO OBLIGATION to keep him but PERSONALLY chose to retain him. So I
don't want to hear people claiming later on that it wasn't his fault,
Jimmy
made him do it.

Which can only mean that Isiah Lord Thomas III wasn't able to "lead men
and
teach the game of basketball" AND YET Mr. GimmeMyRetirementCheck decided
(without a mandate from Dolan) to keep him around. Way to go Walshy.

Translation: I just want my retirement paycheck and can't be bothered
about
learning why it'd be an insane idea to trust the promise of those two
imbeciles, like they haven't promised that before.

Obviously, for Mr. GimmeMyRetirementCheck, it's more im****tant that the
worst coach/GM in basketball history not feel so 'down' than to grow a
spine
and get rid of the turd to send the proper signal to the team and the rest
of the league.
Well, folks, welcome to the Mr. GimmeMyRetirementCheck era.
