Report: Isiah Thomas Thinks LeBron James Should Have Signed With Knicks
It’s always exciting when Isiah Thomas pitches in his two sense about anything. Somehow, though, Thomas managed to steer clear of controversy when discussing LeBron James‘ decision this weekend.
Thomas expressed that he wished James had taken his talents to New York, and such would have benefited the league.
think — and I honestly believe this — it would’ve been interesting to
see if he could have [won a title with the Knicks],” Thomas told the New York Post while attending the U.S. Open. “The curiosity factor, the whole world
would’ve been drawn to watch and see if he could do it. The whole LeBron
Knick thing would’ve piqued everyone’s curiosity.”
Thomas acknowledged, though, that LeBron has become part of a very good situation.
“We
wanted him to come to New York, but I think he’ll do well in Miami.
They got a great team. I think everybody will be watching to see if they
can put it together and win.”
He even defended LeBron, saying that Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan were wrong to say that he was acting against the spirit of the game.
“I
strongly disagree with their comments,” Thomas said. “[Magic] had a
great team. They said they wouldn’t have left but look who they were
playing with. Those teams were stacked.”
Thomas was slated to return to the Knicks as a consultant this offseason, but was not allowed to by the NBA.
