Ken Berger of Newsday is reporting that Billy King and Donnie Walsh will be joining the Knicks at the end of the year as a “package deal.” Apparently, Walsh wants to bring in his good friend King to serve as the team’s general manager.

You know who’s also good friends with King? Garden Sports Pres Steve Mills, who, along with Isiah Thomas, is likely to remain employed by his good friend, James Dolan!

With each day looking more and more like Walsh is indeed set to take control of the ship, it’s also looking more and more as if Isiah will get to stay aboard. If you’re keeping track, that’s two new hires for the Knicks and zero fires (but who’s counting?). In other words, the Knicks are getting a shakeup, not a purging.
