In more Indiana related news, it seems to be official: Word is the Knicks will announce Donnie Walsh as the new team president later today, meaning, at long last, the beginning of the end for the Isiah era. Given the depths of our current situation, I’m still not sold at all on the notion that Walsh can turn things around for the Knickerbockers by next season. But, since the most involving Knick-related activity around of late has been toying with David Lee’s hair, I’d think pretty much anything he does would be a step in the right direction.

Walsh to the Rescue.
The light at the end of the tunnel? Rumor has it that longtime Pacers official Donnie Walsh is set to sign a three-year deal to become Knicks prez, meaning the dreadful Isiah Era is at long last ending here in New York. (Of course, we’re still still stuck with terrible Knick owner Jim Dolan, but baby steps, I guess.) To be honest, I’m not a big fan of Walsh or the current state of the Pacers franchise (for which Larry Bird and the Artest melee also share part of the blame), but at this point it’s safe to say Walsh will be greeted as a liberator around these parts. Update: Wrong answer, Dolan.
