In a tense, four-minute session with the media today after practice, Isiah Thomas said tersely he won’t speak about the Knicks’ courting Donnie Walsh until James Dolan or Walsh speak up too.

“Did you talk to Jim? Did you talk to Donnie?,’’ Thomas said with an edge. “When you get a comment from those two guys, then I’ll feel free to comment and speak freely. Until Donnie says something or Jim says something about a story that’s been reported about those two gentlemen, you should ask those two gentlemen.’’

Dolan put Thomas in a very awkward situation today as the club has remained mum on the reports the Knicks have talked to Walsh and will again later this week. Thomas walked away from the media throng after 4:04 – spending more time with a Knicks P.R. official plotting what to say.

Clearly, Thomas has a lot to say but is holding back. Despite a source saying he’s fuming at the Walsh reports and at Dolan’s office remaining mum, Thomas wants his money and doesn’t want to mess with that like Larry Brown messed up.

Thomas has appeared agitated that Dolan has remained quiet the entire season, other than the private vote of confidence he gave Thomas following Dec. 8’s Philly game that was leaked to some media outlets.

At one point, Thomas said today, “I’m very comfortable with where I am with Jim.’’

But Thomas said he will no longer discuss his job status and next season. Since Feb. 29th, Thomas has made many references to plans for the team this summer.
