Zeke Trying To Get Fired?

A couple Knick players and at least one staff member get the distinct impression Thomas wants to be fired and is going to extremes (I offer for evidence the bizarrely stained, even for Isiah, Stephon Marbury misadventure) to give Dolan no other choice. Since Thomas’ reputation is unredeemable and the players appear unreachable the gameplan – regardless whether it’s conscious or subconscious – may very well be to get emotional relief, distance himself and his family from pervasive ridicule, take the severance and burrow deep.
