<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">- Let the next found of battling begin. While the Knicks claim they do not have to pay the $40 remaining on fired coach Larry Brown, Brown's agent sees things differently. "The contract is what the contract is," Joe Glass said yesterday. "It's all very clear and I'm sure it will be handled appropriately in the proper time frame." "The contract is very explicit and it protects him from any arbitrary decisions," Glass said. "His rights are all spelled out and they will be protected." Brown has a clause in his contract stating that if there is a dispute about the money owed him, NBA Commissioner David Stern becomes the arbiter. Glass would not say if he had contacted the NBA yet or if he had heard from Stern.</div> Source
It's hard to tell, since none of us know the actual contract was other than the money. I heard one of the clauses stated something along the lines of Brown now being allowed to speak negatively about the Knicks. If it was, then Brown obviously violated one of his clauses, so it would have an effect on some of the money. I do see Brown leaving with somewhere between $25-30 mil., but defintely not the full $40 mil. What a waste of money though.
