2003–04 New York Knicks season

The 2003–04 New York Knicks season was the 58th season for the team in the National Basketball Association (NBA). During the offseason, the Knicks signed All-Star center free agent Dikembe Mutombo. 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. Knicks fans would get their wish as Layden was fired and replaced by former Detroit Pistons star Isiah Thomas. In January, the Knicks traded Antonio McDyess and Charlie Ward to the Phoenix Suns for Stephon Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway. At midseason, Thomas made more moves, trading Keith Van Horn to the Milwaukee Bucks for Tim Thomas.
