He's the one who should've been fired. Look what he did to the CBA by himself, and now he's doing that to the Knicks.

<< <i>Larry Brown's dream job with the New York Knicks could end after only one season.

Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan, who's upset over Brown's record and the coach's public criticism of his players, is considering buying out the final four years of the coach's contract, the New York Daily News and New York Post reported in Sunday's editions.

The buyout is worth at least $40 million, the newspaper reported.

The Knicks declined to comment.

One published report indicated Knicks president Isiah Thomas was in line to replace Brown as head coach, the newspaper said, but the team would not confirm nor deny it.

Brown, who led the Knicks to a 23-59 season, has indicated that he will not resign. But the club could avoid having to pay another coach upward of $5 million a year if Thomas takes the job, the Daily News reported. One source told the newspaper that Thomas -- who coached the Pacers from 2000-2003 -- would be amenable to coaching the Knicks.

In April, one day after the Knicks completed one of the worst seasons in franchise history, Thomas said the Hall of Fame coach would return to coach the team for a second season. The underachieving roster was another story.

"I am loyal to winning and I am not loyal to any singular individual," Thomas said then. "I'm going to do what I need to do to make our team better. ...

"When you won 23 games, I think we'll make some changes," he said. "Coach and I haven't sat down and fully decided what changes we'll make, but we'll probably make some changes." >>




This is pretty dumb. They could probably get Larry Brown to PAY THEM to get out of coaching the sorry Knicks!!!

The Knicks are one of the sorriest franchises in all of professional sports. And, there is no reason to think it's going to change any time soon.

For it to change I believe the owner must have a front office purge. Isiah has to go; stock piling overpaid ball hoggs doesn't help before the trade deadline. Trading a first round pick for a center who throughout his career has had a questionable work ethic and a recently discovered heart abnormality doesn't help either. Overpaying for a guy who only showed up 1 postseason his whole career, another stupid move. I think what the Knicks should do is a bring in a young(Theo Epstein young!) GM who will clear the roster of unnecessary non team oriented players. No doubt the talent on this team was enough for a top seed in the east. But with the teams overall mentality of me-first basketball, the season was over quicker than you could say....Francis AND Marbury???!!! Hell, get ole Dolan to hire me and I'd have them out of cap hell and in the playoffs in a season. But that most likely won't happen.
