LAYDEN FIRED!!!

Isiah Thomas hired?

Some great quotes: "Two nefarious villains plucked from our midst within 2 weeks: Scott and Saddam."

"The anti-Layden feeling was so strong in New York that when LeBron James was selected with the No. 1 pick in the draft last June, commissioner David Stern's announcement of the selection was drowned out by a loud chant of Fire Layden."

Recent poll on espn.com? So far, out of 7100 votes:

  • 83% think NYK waited too long to fire Layden.

  • Nearly 2/3 think Isiah won't be able to do anything because of the bad contracts

  • over 2/3 think Layden is to blame for NYK missing the playoffs the last 2 years

  • Over half think Doc Rivers should be their new coach.
