Here are some things NOT being said about Brown’s future…
Larry Brown is expected to resign today.
BIG MONEY: Brown is likely going to command in excess of $8 million per season according to those in the know. He has mentioned what his next deal would need to be worth, and that’s the range he’d be seeking… TOTAL CONTROL: LB wants to run the whole shooting match, meaning if he goes to Houston, Carroll Dawson is likely out, same with Elgin Baylor in LA, but word is Brown would rather see Memphis Tigers head coach John Calipari get the Clips job, in fact he personally recommended Coach Cal for the job. Rumor is he’s seeking a Pat Riley type of job...THE 76ERS OWN HIM FOR 2 MORE SEASONS: Brown has two more seasons remaining on his deal, while the 76ers will clearly honor his request to step down, coaching another team, especially one in the eastern conference is going to require hefty compensation. Landing Pat Riley cost the Heat $1 million in cash and an unprotected first round draft pick, you can expect that the Sixers will seek more than that - it’s business. TEACHING ENVIRONMENT: Brown is drawn to environments that he can shape and teach in, so an established team isn’t likely going to make him happy. Known has one who loves his own misery, brown would likely thrive in Cleveland, but Houston may not be as a attractive unless Les Alexander allows him to rip up the team, the same would be true of Toronto. Overall, there is little doubt that Brown could be coaching somewhere else next year, but at what cost remains to be seen. It’s expected that Brown will resign his post as early as today and hold a press conference this week to discuss his future.

update from the Rocket Guy who is usually on point, except for his opinion that drafting Yao Ming = BAD!!!...


Update - Apparently Larry Brown's real interest is in the Clippers' job, which has been offered to NBA great Dennis Johnson. The Clips are waiting to hear from Johnson, but in the mean time the Rockets may be more interested in Paul Silas. Silas is ready to take over the Rockets, and may be more of a fit for what the Rockets are looking for. Les Alexander wants to keep Carroll Dawson in place as GM, and Larry Brown will only coach if he is given complete autonomy as GM and President of Basketball Operations, as well. Alexander is understandably hesitant to hand that kind of power over to Brown, who is not as good as Dawson. Additionally, the Sixers are going to want something in the form of compensation for Brown, which likely means a first round draft pick. Silas would be much cheaper, Brown would also draw $9 million a year in salary, and would not want to take over the entire organization.

Bottom line? Brown would be an excellent fit, but is he worth the money? Paul Silas is an excellent coach and wants the Houston job above all else. Paul Silas may actually be the one to land the job.

 

No I do not subscribe, and I was saying the Rocket guy is on point sarcastically.
