Isiah Thomas is not the only person who thinks the Knicks have a shot of making it to the playoffs. Now Magic Johnson, the guy who the New York Daily News says recommended Thomas to run the Knicks to executive Steve Mills, says that there is no way that New York will miss out on post season action this season.
"They're going to make the playoffs and be a tough seven or eight seed," Johnson said. "They're settling into their roles. There's no way I don't see them not getting in as the seven or eight seed, especially in the East."

Isiah Thomas has finally admitted that the Knicks are no longer being built around Eddy Curry and Zach Randolp, and that he will inquire with New Jersey as to what it will take to land superstar point guard Jason Kidd, the New York Post is reporting.
According to The Post, Eddy Curry could be involved in a potential deal possibly along with Renaldo Balkman, whom the Nets like.
When asked if he wouldn't mind a trade, Curry laughed tellingly, then told The Post, "It's been tough, but I don't want to run from my problems. I had tough moments here but good moments here. Whenever [Thomas] says it's time for me to go, I go."
Asked if he feels Thomas is looking to deal him, Curry said, "Ask him."
