    As a Rockets fan, I would trade Adelman for Brown in a heartbeat.
    I'm kinda surprised MJ fired his boy. Who's out there that's gonna turn that team around?

    I'm guessing Brown wanted out.

    Larry Brown a college coach? The same Larry Brown who coached the Nets, Spurs, Clippers, Knicks and Pistons?

    Gee whiz.

    Larry Brown signs with team.

    Larry Brown demands entire roster be revamped according to his whims.

    Larry Brown finds out his roster can't win (or win as much as expected)

    Larry Brown demands entire roster be revamped AGAIN.

    Front office replies this cannot be done (usually because of salary-problems exacerbated by earlier roster dump)

    Larry Brown throws hissy fit, decides to show the whole damn world how bad the team will be if not revamped to his specifications

    Larry Brown starts tanking games (usually passive-aggressively with intentionally preposterous lineups, rotations, etc)

    Larry Brown quits (or provokes his firing) so he can chase other jobs (for which usually he has already been trolling for a season or more).

    Rinse, repeat.

    I've been checking this thread all day waiting for Starman. He delivered.

    Not that I love Adelman, but wanting to trade Larry Brown for him, at this point, is ridiculous.

    Just out -- Bobcats go with former Charlotte Hornets (yes, them) coach Paul Silas as the interim coach ...

    Larry coached UCLA and Kansas. Lost the NCAA title in '80 with the Bruins, won in '88 with Danny (Manning) and the Miracles.

    The responses in this thread are full of fail.

    Sorry, but MJ has no clue (a guy who has loved MJ since bought his first pair of 1985 Air Jordans in blk/white/red).
