The 2005–06 New York Knicks season was the 60th season for the team in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] The Knicks finished with a 23–59 record, which left them in last place in the Atlantic Division .[2] They had the fewest wins in the Eastern Conference in the 2005–06 season, and only the Portland Trail Blazers had fewer wins in the NBA.[3] The Knicks' payroll for the 2005-2006 season was $124 million, putting them $74.5 million above the salary cap, and $62.3 million above the luxury tax line.[4] [5]
Following the season, head coach Larry Brown was fired after spending only one season with the team. Isiah Thomas , the Knicks' general manager, was named head coach for the 2006–07 season .[6]
