Here's a question and answer that kind of caught my attention:
When the trade was made, it looked like Fred and Dan Dickau were just salary cap throw-ins. When you made that trade, how did that discussion go?
Thomas: Both of those guys fit our team. I think Dickau is going to be a good player on our team when he's healthy. With Fred, you can't consider either of those guys throw-ins.
Hmm, interesting response by Isiah. Dickau was released before the Knicks started practicing, back on September 30th. In fact, he's already signed with the LA Clippers, and is fighting Brevin Knight for the backup point guard position (which he won't win - Knight should be a starter somewhere).
It's possible that he's mistaking Dan Dickau with Jared Jordan, a similar 3rd string point guard acquired around the time Dickau was released. Still, it's a little embarrassing (you know the local papers are going to have a ball with this, if they get a hold of it) for the GM and coach of the Knicks to be unaware that he's speaking about a player he's already released, and never even got to see practice in a Knick uniform!
Is this team not entertaining?

there's a race joke in here somewhere.....at least he didnt call them all bitches
I've been one to misinterpret statements as having racist and sexual connotations, but when I read that the first time, I thought "is Isiah crazy?" and then realized that he was probably just being colloquial with the reporters and it looks really weird typed out. What I think he meant is that if Dan Dickau were hypothetically on their roster and was healthy, he would fit in.
Or perhaps since the Dan Dickau cutting was really DL for some reason, he thought the transaction hadn't officially gone through, and was going along with the party line of "he's injured..."
Or maybe he's just a crazy racist guy. Come to think of it, he probably is just being crazy and racist, and I'm probably just trying to justify it. Fuck white people.
The Clippers seem to think Dan Dickau is healthy. Perhaps it's because he is, in fact, perfectly healthy.
And I'm guessing the transaction went through, for the same reason... he's on the Clippers now!
Just an odd comment from Isiah, and odder still that it end up getting posted on MSG's website.
Clearly, he's trying to appeal to the ticketholders...
Hey I love the name of this blog...thanks to Henry Abbott for sending me here...Mike Lupica IS a dull dorkwad! He and Bob Costas should be forced to live together so they would have to listen to each other's milquetoast drivel...
I fucked Isaiah once - ok, twice - and he never once called me "bitch" or "white devil," unless I told him to. He's not a bad guy once you get to know him.
jack cobra........real men of genius. there's a race joke in here somewhere.....at least he didnt call them all bitches
that's some funny shit
If Dan Dickau was black, he'd be just another backup point guard.
/isiah
Nah. He just forgot to move him off his NBA 2K8 roster.
I read the clip, and I think you guys missed the question. This was the last part of the question that preceeded the response: "When you made that trade, how did that discussion go?" In other words, the context of the question asked him to think back to the time of the trade.
Oh no, clearly all white 3rd-string point guards look alike to Isiah. :-p ha-ha.
