This guy is the ultimate selfish human being. He is in the middle of a title defense and he's taking another job in the NBA. If this was a player the media would be blasting them to pieces. Not to mention that players cant negotiate with other teams while still under contract with another team. Larry Brown preaches team basketball, denounces selfish play and does this crap? Ive lost all respect for the man. If I owned Detriot Id fire him today, this second.

This guy destroyed Philly then left for greener pastures when things got bad. He quit on just about every team he's coached. Why would any player want to play for this guy? He's a quitter and a hypocrite. What is Cleveland thinking? This guy is a terrible GM/Pres, he has no patience with players. At the first sign of trouble he wants to trade a player. Wasn't he the one that wanted to trade Iverson to the Clips? He left Philly capstrapped and broke then went to a good franchise with an intelligent Gm in Dumars after he destroyed Philly. He's a terrible, terrible GM, I would never even concieve of letting this guy run a frontoffice. The only reason he won in Detriot is because Dumars didnt let him make personel moves. Larry doesnt like or want to develop young players so Cleveland ie a young team hires him?

Well Cleveland fans have fun watching LeBron playing for New York or LA in a few years. Too bad your team owner is such an idiot, you guys are decent fans.
 
what I don't get is that he's trying to deny the "rumors" that he is going to the Cavs
 
Sh*t, I wish he was coming here to coach this team(yes, I know he's not going to Cleveland to be the coach). But seriously, I hope this really starts to heat up because a headcase like Rasheed Wallace will probably let it get to his head.
 
What I dont get is didnt Larry Brown alienate LeBron by not playing him in on the USA team? He didnt play some of the younger players, he dropped the ball on that one. He doesnt get enough blame for that. This guy has lost it, he really is so full of himself I think he's done as a coach too.

He also played Wade as a defensive specialist and point guard...he also never called an offensive play for him during the Olympics....Okay...are we sure this guy is a good coach?
 
Cleveland gets the lottery gift of a lifetime (thanks to the NBA Im sure) and gets one of the best young players ever in LeBron, then they play games firing a coach while still in a playoff spot which blows up in their face. Then they hire a young assistant to be coach while Larry heals from his injury and waits like a vulture for them to have a losing streak so he can take over. This is a prescription for disaster. The new owner is a moron, no way do you hire Larry Brown to run the front office. As a coach maybe but your front office? Insanity, pure insanity.

yeah he can't coach anymore, he just won an NBA title last year and has an excellent shot to do it again this year :rolleyes:

This is who Larry Brown is, he hasn't changed. He can only stay for so long in 1 place before he has to move on.
 
"yeah he can't coach anymore, he just won an NBA title last year and has an excellent shot to do it again this year "

I do think hes done after this year. His team is pretty much on autopilot right now, the east was a joke last year and this year so if leading a mediocre team through other mediocre teams and an imploding Lakers team makes you great hey he's great...
ask philly fans and every other stop he's been at how great of shape he left them in. The guy has one title to show for a bunch of trainwrecked franchises. Sorry but hes going to ruin what could be a very good thing in Cleveland. He has no ability to be a frontoffice guy.
 
- Please tell me how did Larry Brown destroy Philly ? He left them capstrapped? How do you come up with that ? They certainly had the money to take on Webber's salary this year. I'd watch out for the Sixers next year with A.I, Iguodala and Dalembert. He turned Eric Snow and Aaron Mckie into players. Just look at what they've become now. He got jabbed by T.Maculloch's injury. I just don't see how he destroyed Philly.

- Seriously who would want to play for Larry Brown ? The guy's just won at every level, A.I himself has said Larry was the best coach he's ever played for and after saying he was jumping ship the Pistons responded with a huge effort. Look at what he's done for these guy's careers: Ben Wallace, Rip Hamilton, Chauncey Billups. Those 3 guys have gone from malcontent and unwanted (Big Ben was riding the pine in Washington, Rip was complaning and not playing, Chauncey played for 6 teams after getting drafted 3rd overall) to all-stars. I'm not sure L.B's a great coach (havn't been around long enough to see him coach with Indiana, Clips etc.) but there's no denying based on the job he did in Philly and Detroit, he's a very very good one.

- I agree Dumars has been the architect behind the Pistons but I wouldn't qualify Larry as a terrible, terrible G.M and even if he is it doesn't matter because he's not going to the Cavs to be the G.M. All reports indicate he's going to become team president. Then again who knows. 'Brown being rumored to go somewhere is about as surprising as Paris Hilton being caught on camera for another video' :D

Last year the East was very good, there were 3 big time teams in the East and then he beat the Lakewrs in 5, call them imploding or whatever but the Spurs and Wolves couldn't beat the imploding Lakers.

He left Philly and every other place he's been to in better shape then when he arrived. Philly hadn't been to the playoffs since 1991 when he arrived for the '98 season and a year later they were back and 3 years later they were back in the Finals for the 1st time in 18 years.

A bunch of trainwrecked franchises? He brought Philly back from the dead, brought Indiana to new heights, brought only the 2nd Nat'l title ever to Kansas, made SA better, guided the Clippers to the playoffs. The man is one of the greatest coaches of all-time.
 
Larry Brown is a good coach but he isnt a front office guy. Thats the point, hes not going to Cleveland to coach hes going to run the franchise. The main point of the post is the guy is selfish in the way he leaves franchises at will, all the while demanding that players act unselfish and loyal to him. The guys a hypocrite straight up.
 
Larry Brown didn't destroy Philly...just ask AI who liked playing for him....the guy who ruined the Sixers was their GM (Billy King) who signed a lot of crap players like Glen Robinson to stupid deals.....thankfully my Sixers are turning it around and they have AI, Iggy, and Dalembert.
 
Brown was hired in 1998 right? Well lets look at some of the marvelous trades made when he was there:
Traded Tim Thomas and Scott Williams to Milwaukee for Tyrone Hill and Jerald Honeycutt
Traded future 1st round draft pick to Atlanta for the draft rights to Jumaine Jones
Acquired Toni Kukoc from Chicago as part of a three-way deal that sent Larry Hughes and Billy OWens to Golden State and Bruce Bowen and John Starks to Chicago
Acquired Dikembe Mutombo and Roshown McLeod from Atlanta for Toni Kukoc, Nazr Mohammed, Theo Ratliff and Pepe Sanchez
As part of a three-way deal, acquired Derrick Coleman from Charlotte for George Lynch, Jerome Moiso and Robert Traylor, as well as Corie Blount and Vonteego from Golden State for Cedric Henderson and a conditional first round pick
Acquired Todd MacCulloch and Keith Van Horn from New Jersey for Dikembe Mutombo
Acquired Kenny Thomas from the Houston Rockets in a three-team deal that sent Mark Bryant and Art Long, along with a future first round pick to the Denver Nuggets

Notice all the young players and draft picks traded for veterens? Ok, Larry came in and they made a big improvement. He made a decent run on Iverson's scoring and they got wasted by LA in the Finals. Would the team have been better off keeping a ton of those younger players? I think so. But with larry on the win in 2 years and leave plan he's always been on he traded all the draft picks and good young talent for basically nothing. He had a hand in all these deals.
Hes not a front office guy. He's going to Cleveland to run the franchise, not coach it.
Philly trainwrecked after he left because they had no talent around Iverson. He knew it so he left. I find it hard to believe with all of the constant drama surrounding his and Iverson's relationship that Iverson misses him. He can say what he wants, if he had loved playing for him that much he would have attended practice regularly.
 
I don't understand Brown even wanting to become the President of the Cavs. He's a coach and that's it, he needs to leave the front office business to the front office guys. The guy loves to coach and after a year or two in the front office he'll be ready to get back on the bench. I think Brown should either stick with the Pistons or go coach somewhere else but as far as the taking a front office job I think he would be making a mistake. I have no problem with Brown leaving Detroit and going and taking a job somewhere else. It's who he is and if you don't know it by now you don't know Larry Brown (not in a literal sense). The guy likes new challenges and I think that is one of the reason's he is the nomad of NBA coaching!
