New York Times - After finally addressing the press, Knicks owner James Dolan revealed that working with Brown in the future would be unachievable after Brown made questionable demands. The most questionable had Brown request that the team waive Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis, Jerome James, Jalen Rose and Maurice Taylor - a move that would have cost the Knicks roughly $150 million in salary. Late last season, Brown admitted that he had lost the faith of many of his players. Dolan claimed that Brown focused too much on trying to be the GM of the team and not enough on coaching them.
Brown must've been doubling his medication. I can understand why he wanted to release them, but wouldn't that be like a 250+ million dollar hit to Dolan?
The funny part about it is some of the players he wanted to dump were the players he begged Isiah to get for him. Then, four weeks later, he said waive them. How can anyone take this clown seriously?

I'm sure Isiah wanted those players just as, if not more badly than LB wanted them.

I really don't have a problem with the moves, really. Jalen is expiring this year and Francis could be valuable this offseason.
Off topic, but Wilbon on PTI sure loves calling Dolan an idiot. Anyway, I think Dolan should sell the team.
