Larry Brown on the move (again)?
The New York Post is reporting that Larry Brown has received permission from Bobcats owner Michael Jordan to take over the Philadelphia 76ers.
Coincidentally squared, Next Town Brown, I’m informed, has received approval from Bobcats owner Michael Jordan to return home, home on the range — Philadelphia — where his wife, school-age children and the antelopes still play, to re-take control of the 76ers from top to bottom.
Larry Brown in a dual coach/GM role? This ought to be good.
I think it’s safe to say that the Sixers are a mess. They won’t have any significant cap room until the summer of 2011, and the Elton Brand signing hasn’t exactly worked out.
Still, there is some talent here — Jrue Holiday, Marreese Speights and Thaddeus Young are nice prospects and Andre Iguodala is a good all-around player. Brown has a history of raising the level of bad franchises, but he doesn’t have a long-term outlook and typically burns out pretty quickly. How does that work when he’s the general manager?
Like I said, this ought to be interesting.
Update: Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the Clippers are another possibility.

oh come on! repeating un-verified junk from peter vecsey? hell man, even a broken clock is right two times a day, and the nypost can’t compete with that.
seriously, you’re giving bloggers a bad name repeating stuff from that fishwrap…
Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed it. Spew your nonsense elsewhere.
he confirmed nothing, its unverified junk, go look up what journalism is comprised of, and learn something instead of blindly accepting what you see in the nypost and twitter.
Boy that Larry is just timeless, he has been on the top all his life…
mego — So we’re all supposed to sit around with our heads in the sand (and ignore Vescey and Wojnarowski’s sources) until Larry or MJ confirms it, even though the Bobcats are about to embark on a first round playoff series and it’s going to be a while? Give me a break.
If you’re so into hardcore journalism, why do you even bother with sports blogs?
I wonder if you’ll come back when it’s announced that Larry is going to be coaching the Sixers or Clippers next season.
awful idea. theres a reason we fired him. he already had that duel role with us back in the iverson days and we all know how that worked out. he traded away all of our young guys for overrated veterans. anyone remember glenn robinson? joe smith? chris webber? i think ed snider knows better than that.
