1. Oh, that Larry...
He just can't keep a job. Maybe he shouldn't always be testing the market when he's already employed. That's what made Detroit fire him.

But Isiah, hmmm... It'll be interesting to see how that works.

3. Isiah was a magnificent player
But he has ego problems that cost him the Pistons President job (thank God; we love Joe Dumars)and were a problem in Indiana too. I'm doubtful that he'll succeed in this position.

4. Well if he does as good of a job as he did as GM...
The Knicks are sure to lose about 70 games next year :rofl:

5. They fire the one guy who has ever won something.

I am a Knicks fan. This sucks. ESPN says they kept Brown on for 40 days to make him suffer. Dolan is a piece of shit. He can go fuck himself. He puts his petty fights ahead of the team. Knicks fans should boycott the team until Isiah is finally fired.

Unfortunately, you can't fire the owner.

8. And like Empereor Palpatine before him, Isiah makes his final move
to destroy the franchise once and for all.

9. Stupid Stupid move
Brown has proven he can win as a coach. Ishaih has yet to as a coach or GM. I say Isaih should be fired and they shouls trade all those players (Marbury, Francis, Rose, etc) and I don't care how.

10. Anyone notice
that NBA Megastars never really make good coaches or GMs (Jordan,Isiah). Maybe they expect to much out of their players who can't live up to their legends. Someone might disagree with me and say Larry Bird was successful as a coach. The truth was Rick Carlisle the current coach of the Indiana pacers was actually the guy coaching the team as assistant coach. I went to a lot of pacer games during this time and when ever there was a time out it seemed like Carlisle was the guy call the shots and Bird was just standing back.
