As soon as Isiah Thomas was hired by the Knicks he wasted no time in doing his best to humiliate & disrespect Knicks Franchise Player Allan Houston.
Bringing a player (Marbury) to the Knicks inwhich players "Ward, Spree, and Houston" would never let any of the teams PG-Marbury played for get a WIN against the Knicks was a very BIG disrespect to Allan Houston (and so-call Knick-Fans wondered why Marbury & Houston could'nt Jell).
Isiah Thomas Final Disrespect to Allan Houston was the offseason of NBA Stern release of players with the "Allan Houston Luxury-Tax buyouts" (Houston could not sue NBA Stern because the name came from the Knicks organization).
Plus to show how much Isiah Thomas hated Allan Houston, when Houston put in his retirement papers in the 2005-6 season for injury, Isiah Thomas signed Jared Jefferies to the MLE in the 2006 offseason and gave Allan Houston number twenty (#20) to Jared Jefferies. Allan Houston was not retired for a year yet before Isiah gave his Jersey Numbers away to the next new Knick player.
By doing this Isiah Thomas canceled any and all Sells on the retirement of Player Allan Houston #20 Jersey in the 2006-7 season at the Garden. Which probably would've been the biggest sell of Knick Jersey this past 2006-7 season the way the Knicks were losing consistently with a 33 WIN season.
