The desperation of Isiah Thomas is more pronounced than ever.
You could tell by his moment with Jared Jeffries last week.
Thomas proclaimed Jeffries to be the elixir that would resolve the rag-tag dimension of the Knicks.
"What Jared brings to us more so than talent, he brings chemistry," Thomas said.
Jeffries also brings an unsettling number of rim-busting layup attempts.
This proclivity is not helpful to team chemistry or to a team's points on the scoreboard.
Thomas was peddling a feel-good fantasy -- with Jeffries cast as Superman Lite -- because that is all he has left with his wreck of a franchise.
The next transaction in Manhattan that encourages talk of an upgrade will be the one detailing his departure.
MSG chairman James Dolan has granted Thomas a season to show progress, but that is being overly sanguine.
Thomas is where Stan Van Gundy was at this time last year, probably one protracted losing streak away from his next venture, most likely in a talking head capacity.
