Knicks owner James Dolan professed his forever friendship with Isiah Thomas in HBO excerpts released Monday, but in a transcript of the “Real Sports” interview obtained Tuesday, Dolan vows he has no intention of bringing back Thomas to run the Knicks. Ever.
“Can you envision any scenario where Isiah makes it back to the Knicks?” Bryant Gumbel asks.
“No,” Dolan responds. “For starters, I can’t imagine having a better [management] team as I have with the Knicks right now.
“Even if there was no Phil [Jackson] or no Steve [Mills], I would not do it,” Dolan adds.
