2003–04 New York Knicks season

(Redirected from 2003-04 New York Knicks season)

The 2003–04 New York Knicks season was the 58th season for the Knicks in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] During the offseason, the Knicks signed All-Star center Dikembe Mutombo in free agency.[2] The Knicks started the season by losing seven of their first nine games as fans at the Garden chanted "Fire Layden", in reference to general manager Scott Layden.[3][4] Knicks fans would get their wish as Layden was fired and replaced by former Detroit Pistons star Isiah Thomas.[4][5]

In January, the Knicks traded Antonio McDyess and Charlie Ward to the Phoenix Suns for All-Star guard Stephon Marbury and Penny Hardaway.[6] Ward was released by the Suns, and later signed as a free agent with the San Antonio Spurs.[7] At midseason, Thomas made more moves, trading Keith Van Horn to the Milwaukee Bucks for Tim Thomas.[8] After a 15–24 start, the Knicks fired head coach Don Chaney, and played one game under assistant Herb Williams before signing Lenny Wilkens as their new coach.[9] With a 39–43 record, which placed them third in the Atlantic Division, the Knicks qualified for the NBA playoffs as the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference.[10] Allan Houston averaged 18.5 points per game, but played just 50 games due to injury.[11][12]

In the first round of the playoffs, the Knicks were swept in four games by the New Jersey Nets.[11] New York did not return to the playoffs until the 2010–11 season.[13] Following the season, Mutombo was traded to the Chicago Bulls, who then dealt him to the Houston Rockets.[14] Longtime Knicks play-by-play announcer Marv Albert was not retained by the MSG Network, having criticized poor play by the team on-air. He remained an NBA on TNT broadcaster until he retired from NBA broadcasting following the 2020–21 season.[15][16]
