From today's New York Post... the article is about a campaign to give Walt Frazier a shot at helping out in coaching the squad for defense. One part says, in reference to his commentary job:
"Frazier sensed three years ago the club was trying to phase him out but heard Thomas stood up for him."

Then again, it's written by Marc Berman. I refuse to believe it's an April Fools joke, because the perfect Berman April Fools joke would be for him to write a professional article like a professional journalist.
