OK, he's not a company man. But not too many are today. What's wrong w/ switching jobs every few years, especially if you do well everywhere you go? To me, he seems like a guy at the top of his profession who needs new challenges regularly to keep himself interested. That's not a bad thing. His comment about the Knicks being a "dream job" seemed innocent to me, though, have to admit, he shouldn't have allowed his talks w/ Cleveland to become public during the playoff run.

There's so much politics in major team sports that he needs to be painted as the villain sometimes by those who are left behind, so they can explain losing such a great asset. But, at least in Detroit, I'd point my finger at ownership. Remember, they couldn't get along Carlisle right before Brown even though Carlisle had brought the team more success than it had seen since the Bad Boy days.

Larry's wanderlust bothers me a little bit more when he was in the college game, where your recruits get screwed when the coach bolts, but in the pros, where there is no job security, I don't blame him at all.

Beyond all that, when you listen to him speak, he is intelligent, respectful of everyone, and seems like a nice guy. I give him the benefit of the doubt -- he just wants to find coaching situations where he is challenged and he can be successful by making his team and his guys successful.

Larry Brown's peers and critics are all jealous of him. That about sums it up.

I'm still waiting for his knicks press conference.

Yeah, not only that but people only talk about 'loyalty' when it comes to coaches and players. They got basted for not being 'loyal' to the organizations b/c they elect to move on (coaches) and skip town as a free agent player or whatever else in between. For instance, if a coach does well, it is his choice to stay with that organization or leave it got another opportunity. But let's say that same coach isn't accomplishing what the organization thinks he should. Or lets say a more attractive coach becomes availible. You think organizations are thinking 'loyalty'? How many people wanted Chaney GONE and didn't care what happened to him whe he was given the ax? His career was a flop here.....he was kicked out of town no questions asked. But what if his career wasn't a flop and he had the chance to skip out on the Knick organization and coach anywhere he wanted? F%^k loyalty when it comes to the NBA. No one is loyal whatsoever (except maybe for the Utah/Sloan marrage). But I don't blame any coach or any player for doing whatever the hell he pleases. Because whenever the shoe is on the other foot, organizations treat you like u have the plague. Want nothing to do with you.

Go Larry!

I think we pretty much proved that when we traded Ewing. We won't get over that until Shandon Anderson's contract is off our books.

Well, it's like my dad always tells me. "Trust and loyalty and business don't mix."
