Just in, former Raptors GM Glen Grunwald announces he's on his way to the Knicks:
Believe me, this was not an easy decision. Among other things, I have had a really rewarding and fulfilling time here at the Board of Trade. It’s not often in life that you get to do a job where you know you are contributing to something so important.
However, I just could not pass up this opportunity to get back to the sport that I love and to rejoin my old friend Isiah Thomas in the NBA.
More on this as the day goes on, on the website, I'm sure.
GG to the Knicks is a shocker. But he's a clever, respected guy who's got a chance to turn that Knicks franchise around. Eventually.

What a killer combo! is there any doubt that the Knicks will continue their revival under Thomas with Grunwald on board!?
I guess New York was getting jealous at all the press that Long Island was getting in the 'worst run sports franchise' competition. Well they have a tough fight but this is a good start.

I guess when Zeke destroys this franchise and napalms the office on his way out, he'll have already picked his successor.

Jeff... New York doesn't care about hockey, so I doubt people really care about the Islanders.

glen needs to be back in the game . his qualifications and experience can contribute a lot to any team and the league . let's hope that he stays in the NBA this time !

Excellent move by Isiah in hiring GG. It's kinda' late but better than never. Maybe it's the start of the re-emergence of the NY Knicks !
