Voisin: Brown Interested in Kings Job (merged)
- Thread starter Rockmeister
- Start date
Here are the "credentials" I see.
He has a good coaching (wins/losses) record.
He has won a championship.
He has bilked the last two teams he played for out of millions of dollars.
He has whined and threatened every team so that he can have more control.
He wants to be coach and GM.
When he has not gotten what he wants, he leaves for greener pastures. But, how does he do this? Does he quit and leave money on the table? Hell no! He makes the entire organization (from front office to players to fans) so miserable that they fire him and will pay him anything to get him out.
The Kings and their fans are having enough trouble without bringing that egomaniac to Sacramento.

You reallay are too kind to Brown. NY did not just give him the money. After one year Larry felt enitled to the full value of his contract so he sued he Knicks parent company.
Larry Brown Contract Dispute: Cablevision owns the New York Knicks, which unceremoniously fired legendary coach Larry Brown after less than a year on the job. Cablevision said he was terminated for cause; Brown disagreed. NBA Commissioner David Stern brokered a settlement under which the Knicks agreed to pay Brown a tidy $18,500,000. Amazingly, that’s not a bad result for Cablevision: Brown was asking for $53 million.
So the Knicks basically paid Brown nealry a million dollars for each win... quite he bargin since he was asking for 2.36 million per win.

I fail to see how he left Detroit off worse than when he got there.
I'm sorry, I don't like Larry Brown but give me some more names besides Brooks, Shaw and Theus to persuade me that he's not at least worth bringing in for an interview.
And as far as I know there is nothing that prevents the Kings from offering him a salary structure contingent on him being able to mentor a young coach along with him and handing the reigns over in 2-3 years. If he really wants to rebuild his reputation he'd agree to such a plan, if not we can look elsewhere. But again, bring him in, see if he's sincere and then go hire Brooks, Theus or Shaw if he's deemed to be full of it. Its not like we're competing against anyone with vacancies right now.

Larry Brown does not ruin franchises. Who has he ruined? Not New York that is all Isiah Thomas. Not Detroit they seem to be doing pretty good after he left. Not Portland or San Anotonio or the Clippers all places he was at they are pretty good. Also Philly that was AI and Indiana they are not ruined either.
So you picked only franchise he did not ruin, Bravo,Bravo.
What the Knicks were ruin by both parties do not think for one sec that Brown did not have a hand in that mess

no i picked the last 2 he coached. I can hand pick anything in the world if you want to. I was just sticking with the last 7 years. If you want to go back to his childhood or something thats you. don't give the bravo **** as if i am stupid for only going back the past 7 years. Since you have so much knoledge on the subject of him ruining franchises give me the who and how of each of them for the past 2 decades sir.
Note other posters he will not respond to the task at hand for he has no idea.

THE KNICKS WERE HORRIBLE WITH OR WITHOUT LARRY BROWN!!!
he just made it worse by calling out his players in public.
that's why Larry Brown will not work as the Kings coach unless we dump any combination of Bibby, Artest, SAR, Miller, KT. Those guys are too set in their ways, IMO, and won't respond well to LB. They won't play "the right way" because they just won't be able to adjust. The youngsters can still be molded, which is what he'd be great at.

Took spurs to the playoffs first time in 5years then got fired. Hired by the Clippers jsut weeks later in midseaons in which they had a losing record. Brown then went on that year to lead them to 24-12 record over the last 3 months and to the playoffs for the first time in 23 years. then he did it again the next season. Indana wanted him he went and they won their first playoff series ever in his first season after consecutive playoffs apperaoces he had a bad season riddled with injuires in which the didn't make it. He then stepped down. Then Indiana went on their current streak of playoff apperances (wish he would ruin us like that) then he went to philly they were awful before he got there then ended up playin in the finals then he got offered the Detroit job and we know about them and NY.
So besides NY ( which is all due to isiah thomas) How has Larry brown hurt these teams?
