Isiah Thomas knows that he has just one year to turn things around with the Knicks, but he isn't going to let that affect the way he drafts.

But Thomas said, "I'm not going to be shortsighted, even though there is pressure on me to do big things here. I won't shortchange the Knicks' organization and do something hasty."

Shawne Williams, Hilton Armstrong, Josh Boone and Marcus Vinicius are all possibilities for New York.

"A lot of teams above us are talking trades and really haven't settled on the direction they want to go," Thomas said. "When you're sitting at 20 and 29, you're basically trying to catch what falls to you."
