Holy crap, 5 years 50-60 Million?? First of all, I don't expect Brown to be coaching that long, and second, that's an awful lot of money even if Brown is one of the greatest coaches of all time.
It is a lot of money; if accepted, Brown will be the best-paid coach in NBA history. Even though I know it is much money, I would give it to him. Just the opportunity to have one of the greatest coaches the game of basketball has ever seen, makes it worthwhile.
****....Brown better make Marbury, Crawford, Sweetney, Fyre into defensive forces if he's going to make that much money.
