Donnie Walsh’s Ideal Replacement: Chris Mullin

The day Walsh steps down, he wants Mully to run the Knicks. From the Daily News: “If I could hire anybody Chris would be the guy,’ Walsh told The News. ‘That’s who I want.’ There are no immediate plans for the club to add to their front office. In the past, Garden Chairman James Dolan has been reluctant to sign off on Walsh hiring Mullin. One theory is that Dolan’s next executive hire will be naming Isiah Thomas as consultant, a position Thomas held for one week in last August.”
