The decision to replace Larry Brown on the bench with Isiah Thomas could lead to more changes in the Knicks' front office, the New York Daily News is reporting.

With Thomas taking on a dual role as president/head coach and his top lieutenant, Brendan Suhr, joining him on the sidelines, Thomas is considering hiring a basketball executive to help run the day-to-day operation.

According to sources, former Toronto Raptors general manager Glen Grunwald has emerged as the leading candidate to move into the team's offices. Grunwald makes the most sense for Thomas because he has experience and he is someone Thomas can trust. Long-time scout Jeff Nix also is being considered.
