As we reported earlier at Slam Dunk Central?the New York Knicks have a new Team President former Indiana Pacers Team President Donnie Walsh.? Walsh who just ended a 24 year relationship with the Pacers was introduced Wednesday afternoon at a nationally televised press conference.? Walsh stressed that he was not going to make any rash decisions.? He said that he does not come into his new position with any pre-conceived notions on any aspect of the Knicks

Walsh told reporters that he has in no way made up his mind in retaining or firing former Knicks President, and still current head coach Isiah Thomas.?The two worked together with the the Pacers, as Thomas was head coach there before the team hired Larry Bird as Head of Basketball Operations. Bird fired Thomas and hired his former assistant Rick Carlisle as head coach. Walsh said he would sit down and talk with Zeke before coming to any decisions.

Walsh also stressed the fact that the team would be under the salary cap in three years. He said his biggest problem would probably be keeping patient. Not to over react and sign anyone to long term contracts that could prove to be a burden down the road. He realizes he said that this was going to be a long term project, but his ultimate goal is to return the New York Knicks to being an “elite team.”
