Out!
After months of speculation, the Knicks made it official today and fired Larry Brown after just one year. Taking over will be Isiah Thomas who now wears three hats: coach, GM, sexual harasser.
The buyout of Brown’s contract could cost the Knicks as much as $40M. James Dolan issued this statement.
Larry has had a long and storied career. We hired him last summer with the expectation that he would be with the Knicks for a long time. Sometimes decisions work and sometimes they don’t. After careful consideration, despite the best intentions from everyone involved, this current structure did not work for us last season and I did not think it was going to improve next season.
We’re waiting for Vegas to post the over/under on the number of wins for the Knicks next season but one thing we know for sure, NY residents can expect a rise in Cablevision prices. Meanwhile, in Boston, Philly, New Jersey, and Toronto, coaches and GMs rejoice.

Hmmm — Should we keep one of the best coaches in history (putting aside the fact that he’s also a complete dick), or keep one of the worst (if not, THE worst) GM/Coaches in history?
Yeah. Good Choice, Mutha F….!
