WORST IDEA 8/7/10: Knicks rehire Isiah Thomas

Not since the reelection of George Bush (and the upcoming reelection of Barack Obama) has someone who failed so greatly been so quickly welcomed back into the fold. Isiah Thomas buried the Knicks under bad contracts, cost them $11.5 million in a sexual harassment lawsuit and led them to multiple losing seasons. For doing that, he rightly got fired. Since then, nothing has changed except history allows us to see just how awful is track record was, but that has not stopped Knicks' owner James Dolan from welcoming Thomas back as a paid consultant. Dolan's next move? Campaign manager for John Edwards' 2012 presidential campaign.
