Im wondering how long it will take Brown to make the Knicks a serious playoff threat? Any Philly fans out there that can give a breakdown on how fast the 76ersturned the corner. Brown totally revitalized my Pacers and we haven't left the playoffs since. He definitely gonna gut this team and get some cats he prefers. ps. Does Isaiah look like the man now?

Larry comes and Larry goes...it's just something you have to expect from him. The Knicks will be a serious challenge for LB, one that I'm not completely sure that he'll be able to put up with. However, the staff surrounding him is loyal, they will no doubt be much better than last year. Especially with a few of their new acquisitions in the off season.
The best part of this, for me at least, is that a relative of mine gets to keep his job. The burner has been under this franchise for many years and the hire of LB will give them their best chance to show and prove.
And from a Pistons fan perspective, I'm not mad at anybody. Let Larry do his nomad thing and move on to new challenges. In the end, we got Flip instead of defaulting to GAAARR HEEEARD, eww. I just wish Larry would have kept is tounge in his mouth about leaving my squad before it was proper to do so. That's not "playing the right way" to me, at all.

When dude jets (which he will with the Knicks) he does so in an ugly way.

Catch me creeping like Zeke, right on up to her doorstep.

Otherwise, soon to be known around the world as being a "cattywhompus."
Spread the word.
When are they gonna realize Jamal Crawford is not that dope and Starbury can't play defense for shit.
Go Bulls!
but like jake said ... as long as he lets the young boys do their thing and doesn't try to slow things down too much in the halfcourt set i'll be fine. we've got some good young horses and i want to see them run ... nate
I used to respect Larry Brown, but now I think it's pretty apparent to everyone that this dude is a massive cock.
Having said that, the man has absolutely NO LOYALTY to whatever team he's with, which is why he's bounced around. He'll be talking about "playing the right way" and "sharing the ball" and how he "loves" his players, and then he'll start talking to another team.
new york who?
Uses all the correct rhetoric: coachin' fraternity, Tar Heel family, etc., etc. - it's all an act to facilitate the world of Larry Brown... He'll knife you in the back if it means him gettin' ahead - not to be trusted...
Larry Brown is a franchise rebuilder. Cats cant hate.
could you explain this one? i only ask because we new york fans have heard this about every marquee free agent for years and we all know by now that it's complete bullshit. (remember when kobe was going to take the MLE to play here and nike would make up the difference?) nike and lebron don't need new york to make money.
yeah, that's kind of where i stand. dude is an egomaniacal drama queen and for all the shit he talks about doing things 'the right way' he conducts his own business like an asshole.
I disagree...he will be part of the Brooklyn Nets when they come to fruitation and his contract is up in 2007. How do I know? Just take a look at the recent XXL cover with Jay-Z plus he throws up the diamonds during games. Their friends and soon to be business partners if not already. Of course if he moves to a major market, he makes more $ with endorsements. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he jumped to Reebok as well when the Nike thing is done but probably much less likely as he is the marqee guy there.
The Knicks are going to have to gut this team if the NBA wants Lebron in NY.I dont know if that's real or rumour. I 've heard this claim as well. The Cap space would have to be cleared the fuck out, cause LeBron is going to break the bank.
which is next to impossible. even if the knicks bought out the contracts they already have that money would still count against the cap. the only way to do it would be to trade the majority of their for players for expiring contracts, and that just isn't going to happen.
Exactly.
Besides if the Knicks are playoff bound then shaping a real team around James in Cleveland would strengthen the East Coast.
Of course, I am a conspiracy theorist who believes that aliens from another planet are secretly running the American government, but don't let that stop you from believing my Lebron-to-the-Knicks theory!
Lebron's contract is up after this coming season, from what I understand. Aren't all rookie contracts a mandatory 3 years?
And Hov's got his eye on O.J. Mayo for real. That's all part of the master plan- Lebron in the Garden, O.J. in Brooklyn when he jumps from high school to the league. The fix is in, I'm tellin' you!
Actually, the Nets already have a team that looks pretty damn potent on paper. Kidd, Carter, Jefferson and now Abdul Raheem? That should be a problem for the east this season- not saying that they'll win it, but that's definitely a problem.
04/15/04: The Cavaliers exercised the team option on LeBron James' contract. He is now guaranteed through the 2006-07 season.
Hov and Lebron....believe dat.
3 yrs with a 4th year team option for lebron. new CBA is 2 yrs with 2 yrs of team options.
remember high school players can't jump straight to the NBA anymore. so OJ is going to be that much more high profile coming into the league because he'll have played a year in college, the NBDL, or europe and will probably already be a star player with endorsements. don't expect him to sneak his way on to a big market team like kobe did.
Why are the dudes looking all classy and sophisticated and Foxy is looking, as usual, so hoeful? Clean up yo' act, sista!
