Dolan Wants to Fire Brown

9
Vote

James Dolan, the chairman of Madison Square Garden, is upset. He's upset because Larry Brown did not transform a team of over-privileged, over-hyped whiners into champions. In response to Brown's performance, Dolan is "considering" buying out the remaining four years of his contract worth at least $40 million. Isiah Thomas is supposedly in line to replace Brown as head coach.

Brown, who led the Knicks to a 23-59 season, 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.

And even worse, DNL, there is a significant chance that if you and I ran the Knicks, eben though neither of us have much basketball knowledge, we would likely do as well if not better!!

Apparently, the rumor is that Isiah will move down from the front office to coach the Knicks if Brown leaves. At this point, I would take anything to have Isiah stop being the Knicks GM. Of course, the article says nothing about Isiah stepping down to coach the team. Which means the Knicks could have Isiah be the team's GM/Head coach. Could make for an interesting team next year. Has any team gone 0-82 in a season?

It would be funny. "Hey, you -- what's your name? Where'd you learn to play ball? Forget it, your benched. No, wait, you're traded! You and a draft pick to the Bulls for a game-used Jordan jersey!"

Typical Dolan "answer": let's throw more money at the problem, and maybe it'll just go away! I guess Isiah realizes that the best way to get job security is to build a team that only you can coach... Mission. Accomplished.

the Knicks are the worst professional sports organization. New Yorkers should boycott the Knicks and Dolan.

He and Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs are two peas in a pod. Probably two of the worst owners in all of professional sports, perhaps the worst.

They just need a team in which their five best players aren't shooting guards
