Isiah Thomas checked in with reporters over the weekend and told them that he is still lending a helping hand to the Knicks in his advisory role—the team is just asking him to do it on the other side of the country. He was in Las Vegas for a TV taping and said that the Knicks had sent him to scout the Pac-10 tournament in Los Angeles, coincidentally the same city where the centerpiece of the Isiah Knicks, Stephon Marbury, tended to turn up while he was estranged from the team. The former coach told reporters, "I've still been very active, seeing a lot of games and doing a lot of scouting and looking forward to helping (Knicks president Donnie Walsh) with the draft." (Isiah of course can't speak directly to Knicks players.) He also said that he was doing all right since the last time he was in the papers for what appeared to be an accidental overdose on sleeping pills.
