Report: Brown, Knicks Close To Buyout Deal <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> NEW YORK--Is Larry Brown close to leaving the New York Knicks? Knicks president Isiah Thomas told ESPN today that the team and Brown are in ongoing talks for a buyout of his contract, which has five years and approximately $50 million left on it. Brown reportedly told Thomas he was tired of coaching the group of underachievers and wanted to continue his career elsewhere. His agent, however, said that talks of a buyout were premature and that nothing had been decided yet. ?We?re still in negotiations here. To say that Larry is definitely leaving the Knicks would be premature,? Joe Glass told reporters this morning. ?Larry remains tremendously interested in the Knicks and is still involved in the day-to-day operations of the team. If a buyout does occur, and I?m not saying it will, you guys will be the first to know. Remember, Larry signed a contract with this team, and he doesn't take that kind of thing lightly.? There is no word on whether the buyout will contain stipulations preventing Brown from coaching another team this year, but those who know Brown said he expects to field offers as early as next week. Glass, again, was noncommittal ?I told you, all of this talk is premature. As of today, Larry Brown is the coach of the New York Knicks. Could that change? Sure, anything can change. If he does leave the team, it?s possible that he could go somewhere else. It?s possible that it could be Cleveland, and that it could happen next Wednesday after they fire their coach to make room for him and offer him a four-year, $43.5 million contract. But again, this is all very premature. He could end up staying right here for at least another week or so.? </div> Source Sound like a good idea to me, seems Brown has probably worn out his welcome anyway, right?
HAHA, very funny. Scared me a little. Copyright 2005, The Brushback - Do not reprint without permission. This article is satire and is not intended as actual news.
Yo this had me going for a minute. I was about to put a hole in my monitor. Don't scare a brother like that. Now just to add a little thought to this post I am sure that LB will not last the duration of said contract. I give him 2 years...3 years max before he's off to retirement (not another team). My own personal crystal ball.

Ok lets just say Brown leaves, what was the point of him coming here. He left the Pistons for the Knicks, and he knew the Knicks wouldn't play or win many games as the Pistons yet he still joined. Now all of the sudden he realized, i want to coach a winning team that doesn't need much work.
