Knicks owner to buy out Brown's contract? Isiah to coach? LMAO!

[jeromechickenbone]

Jacked from ESPN.COM:

Larry Brown's dream job with the New York Knicks could end after only one season.

Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan, who's upset over Brown's record and the coach's public criticism of his players, is considering buying out the final four years of the coach's contract, the New York Daily News and New York Post reported in Sunday's editions.

The buyout is worth at least $40 million, the newspaper reported.

The Knicks declined to comment.

One published report indicated Knicks president Isiah Thomas was in line to replace Brown as head coach, the newspaper said, but the team would not confirm nor deny it.

Brown, who led the Knicks to a 23-59 season, has indicated that he will not resign. But the club could avoid having to pay another coach upward of $5 million a year if Thomas takes the job, the Daily News reported. One source told the newspaper that Thomas -- who coached the Pacers from 2000-2003 -- would be amenable to coaching the Knicks.

In April, one day after the Knicks completed one of the worst seasons in franchise history, Thomas said the Hall of Fame coach would return to coach the team for a second season. The underachieving roster was another story.

"I am loyal to winning and I am not loyal to any singular individual," Thomas said then. "I'm going to do what I need to do to make our team better. ...

"When you won 23 games, I think we'll make some changes," he said. "Coach and I haven't sat down and fully decided what changes we'll make, but we'll probably make some changes."

This is hilarious.  The Knicks owner is a fucking idiot if he thinks Brown is more responsible for the shitty Knicks than Isiah.  Isiah is the worst GM, but it would be fucking hilarious / entertaining if Isiah coached the Knicks next year.

Jim Dolan is one of the worst owners in sports.  There isnt a knicks or rangers fan that likes this guy.    Even beyond sports the guy is a fuckin scumbag

I honestly think Larry Brown sucked as the Knicks coach and that someone like Isaiah would have done a much better job...Lets not hate too soon and see how this works out before we start shit-talking, if it even goes down... Larry Brown didn't exactly live up to the expectations of his $10 million a year contract, and that's WITH talent flying at him from every direction...PeACe

[Stone Cold is Bout It, Bout It]

What a mess.

[CoreG37]

they made it seem like he was some fucking miracle worker in the first place.  the knicks suck and i didn't think he would be able to do anything with them in the first place.  don't get me wrong, he's done some things in his career but there might not be anybody that can turn the knicks around and the same can be said for the warriors

i don't think Larry Brown was the Main source of the problem because if you think about look at what he did for the 76ers and the Pistons, before he arrive they were just average teams.  he helped turn those franchises around and led the 76ers to a finals appearance & the pistons to a title

No doubt there is talent on the team but IDK, they just can't play for shit with one another it's pretty pathetic
