Although not a sure bet, it is more likely that Rasheed Wallace will wind up in New York through a trade than Isiah Thomas going back to Detroit to coach the Pistons.  

Thomas has always loved Wallace's talent and the Knicks need a veteran big man.  Rasheed would enjoy embarking on his last NBA assignment in New York.

Isiah and Joe Dumars have a great relationship but it is difficult to imagine Thomas returning to the Pistons as long as Bill Davidson and Tom Wilson are holding the reins.
