NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks' deal with Larry Brown is done.

Brown's agent worked out the final details of contract language with team executives Wednesday, clearing the way for the Knicks to introduce Brown as the 22nd head coach in franchise history.

The team called a news conference for noon Thursday at Madison Square Garden, where the buzz could be coming back after nearly a half-decade of malaise.

Less than 10 days after his divorce from the Detroit Pistons was finalized, Brown moved onto a new job where he'll be trading down in talent but up in salary and sentiment.

The Knicks were Brown's favorite team when he was growing up in Brooklyn, and the eighth stop on his NBA coaching carousel will truly be a "dream job" -- just what Brown called it earlier this year.

He'll join a long list of distinguished coaches -- including Joe Lapchick, Red Holzman, Pat Riley and Lenny Wilkens -- who have guided one of the NBA's charter franchises.


P.S. That's how it's done Dido.

love how they include Lenny as one of the famed KNick coaches...
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

First question he should be asked: "Are the Knicks still rebuilding?"

"There is no way I'd be talking to the Knicks if it wasn't for Isiah Thomas, we're going to be partners. He's the boss. I'm going to listen to him, share ideas with him, and I'm going to do what's right."

"I am what I am...I believe you win with defense and sharing the ball and playing unselfishly and rebounding. That's not going to change."

"I've always gotten more than I deserved."

...like a turd in the East River.

Actually there's so much for me to like about this hiring but that's for another thread and another time.

It i truly a strange Boss-employee relationship when the boss makes a small fraction of what the employee makes.

Well you just inherited a roster full of players that don't do any of those things. Good luck, you're gonna need it.

Oh Shelly Brown. I've heard of her, shes the woman that keeps moving her family around every 2 years because her husband is some NBA coach and he keeps changing jobs. Good woman.

Good job Zeke

Now if only he could use those salesman skills to get us an excellent frontcourt player, then we will be in business.
"This is a very cautious situation that we're in. You have to be conservative in terms of using your assets and using them wisely. We're building for the future." - Zeke (I guess not protecting a first round pick is being conservative)
