Report: Dolan considers buying out Brown's contract

hmm...should the Rox consider persuing??

 

Holy Sh*t. Only the Knicks would pay someone $40 million bucks to go away. And wouldn't that mean that Brown would have made upwards of $50 million for that one year. Damn.

 

Man the knicks really have no faith in Larry Brown...i mean the guy is a proven winner they should atleast give him one more chance/season...it is worth $40million dollars to the organization

 

Who couldn't see this coming, he's already getting paid a $5M buyout from the Pistons and now he's going to get $40M from the Knicks. The way he coached the Knicks this year, you would have thought it was by design that he was looking for a buyout. He never settled on a lineup, he totally lost control of the team which is odd for a coach with so much experience and he feuded with his star player in the press.

Dolan and Zeke are idiots and deserve to get reamed for the $50M.

 

Dead on post. Maybe the most incompetent owner/GM pairing in recent memory. Even though Zeke and LB said LB was coming back, there is NO way he can. I've been waiting for this. As my signature used to say, LB is the most insecure psycho in the NBA by a mile.

 

This is only a guess, but look for the Maloofs to place Brown as their top choice for Adelman's replacement. With all of Larry's faults, he does stress defense. Larry Brown is Sac-town makes sense why the Maloofs fired Adelman.

 

If they gonna buy him out. . .there are quite a few others
that deserve some of that money

Like StarBury

Rocket River

 

Wasn't Adelman not re-signed, rather than fired?

 

Just when you think things couldn't get any better, Isiah is going to coach the Knicks (alleged).

Isiah has Doolan's ear says the ABC basketball team, (wilbon, jackson, and patricK) and are reporting that Zeke wants the job.

 

Zeke must have naked photos of Dolan or something. I would have NEVER expected Brown to go before him.

Man, the Knicks organization is like the perfect storm of sheer embarrassment, craptacular play, and complete and utter incompetence.

 

ever since thomas got a job with the knicks the media have endlessly speculated that he's after the head coach role.

 

It seems only right that Thomas be put at the helm of this sinking ship...

 

what a weird weird team

 

wow can the knicks be anymore messed up they got the highest payroll in the NBA, they got a team of nothing but overpaid ballhoggers and under achievers, a GM who cant stop making dumb trades, and signing big busts.......... u bring in a HOF coach after one year of absolute trash play they want to fire him........... and pay him 50 million bucks for that one year.
WHO'S THE OWNER OF THE KNICKS AGAIN? BECAUSE I AM SURE HE NEEDS TO BE BANED FROM OWNING A TEAM IN THE NBA.

 

Zeke wants the coaching job. Dolan doesn't want to lock in another guaranteed coaching contract. Case closed. Zeke will become the coach and be fired within 1 or 2 years.

I know nothing about Dolan. Somebody have a bio on him? How did he get rich enough to buy MSG while being so stupid at the same time?

 

LB is pulling off a 50M con job. And Isiah is his accomplice.

 

maybe it's the fajitas i had earlier tonight, but brown getting an enormous buyout for doing a crappy job makes me want to vomit.

he stabs his old team in the back, and gets paid many millions of dollars just to go away, then inconceivably*, in spite of advancing age and declining health, not only gets a $10M/yr contract but gets it for 5 freakin' years even though it seems unlikely he would finish it.

then, as a reward for overseeing an unmitigated disaster of a season, they might pay him the entire friggin' contract as a buyout (wtf, shouldn't the buyout be for less than the rest of the contract is worth?), giving him 50 million dollars for doing worse than you could almost possibly do. so 10+ million to leave the pistons and 50 to get away from the knicks. 60 million dollars for being an ******* and being terrible at your job. sing me up for that. how do you even take the money if you're him? i mean i guess he's not exactly the type to think he doesn't deserve it so he'll have no problems.

it's not even my money and it makes me sick. granted, dolan and thomas are idiots, but couldn't we just take $50 million of their money and burn it or something instead of letting larry brown have it.

on the plus side, thomas taking over as head coach is almost too good to be true. after doing everything in his power to ruin the team from the GM position, they're going to give him complete control i guess to see if he can really **** it up. it's almost so ridiculous that it has to be true. he's been such a great success at everything else why would you not want him coaching your team? i'm looking forward to the first bill simmons article already.



*except when isiah thomas is involved
