Larry Brown is New 76ers Executive VP
After leading the New York Knicks to their worst record of all time as a coach, Larry Brown is trying to resurrect his career in Philadelphia as new their Executive Vice President. I was very certain Brown never wanted to quit just yet and all that was keeping him away from the 76ers was Allen Iverson. Now that he’s gone, Brown rushed to take the opportunity. This is a nice opportunity for Brown to redeem his reputation. An executive position is great since he won’t need to deal with the players as closely as the coach does and he won’t need to coach to not repeat what happened with the Knicks (I wonder though if he will offer to coach if coach Cheeks is canned).
The way I see it, the Sixers are well on their way to becoming a laughing stock franchise like the Clippers were before. With Brown’s help, the only way they can really go is up. You really can’t make things any much worse there. So if Brown fumbles there’s not much damage but if he proves useful he can actually give team president Billy King a clue how to make things better there.
“That’s a good move. He’ll do a great job,” Iverson said after the Nuggets’ loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Whatever the outcome of his new job is in Philly, this should be good for him. He needs to do something to justify that huge contract buyout he got from the Knicks! It deosn’t sit well with me that he laughed all the way to the bank on that one despite getting fired for a bad coaching job. /horns
