FINALLY

Mercifully, and ironically, the Knicks' season ends tonight in Indiana, home of Isiah Thomas and Donnie Walsh's former team.

With as miserable as this season has been, tomorrow is when the fun finally begins. We can begin counting down to Isiah Thomas' long overdue departure from Knick-land. Tomorrow is also when Walsh actually starts his job as President of Basketball Operations. How to get rid of Zach Randolph? What to do with Stephon Marbury, Quentin Richardson, Eddy Curry? Yet, even more important than those guys, what does the future hold for David Lee and Nate Robinson? Walsh has been adamant about getting under the cap for 2010. However, as Lee's agent, Mark Bartelstein, commented, "The reason why you try to create cap space is to try to get really good young players. I don’t know how much better you’re going to get than David Lee.”

This offseason should be better than the last four, even if only by default. Let's hope so, because it will probably be the most important one in New York Knickerbocker history.
