Well, no, but hopefully he will. :curse:
What a faggot, to be doing this DURING the Eastern Conference Finals.
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - According to several league sources Sunday, Larry Brown has all but agreed to take over as the head of basketball operations for the Cleveland Cavaliers after the Detroit Pistons finish their playoff run. While Brown has not given his official word to the Pistons and still could have second thoughts about jumping to the Cavaliers, he reportedly has started assembling his front office personnel and coaching staff in anticipation of a move.
The Cavs and Brown refused to comment Sunday, but one person close to the 64-year-old Long Beach product said, "He won't be back in Detroit next season."
With Brown being pursued by David Katzman, one of the Cavaliers' new owners, the Pistons have identified ex-Minnesota coach Flip Saunders as their top choice to succeed him. Saunders has had one conversation with Knicks President Isiah Thomas about the Knicks' vacancy, but like many candidates, he has reservations about the team's roster and long-term salary-cap problems. advertisement
As the New York Daily News reported on April 4, the Pistons first made back-channel contacts with Saunders in late March. He has turned down Portland's coaching position and had also been involved with the Magic about their vacancy before Orlando hired Brian Hill. Sources say Saunders has held off on taking a job because of Brown's expected departure, and that Saunders would welcome the chance to take over a veteran team that is working on its second straight championship.
Detroit President Joe Dumars refused comment on Brown's future, citing the fact that the Pistons are trying to defeat the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference finals. But sources say the Pistons already have told the Cavaliers they will not demand compensation for Brown, who has three years at $18 million left on his contract. Detroit will be off the hook for the rest of his deal if he were to leave.
"Unless Larry reneges, it looks like he's gone," one source said.

Seriously, that is about the rudest thing he could do to the players and the fans of the Pistons. We got him his championship, not the other way around. If he hadn't come to Detroit, we still probably would of one with Carlise around, maybe not as soon though. Anyways, I don't like Flip Saunders at all. I want Phil Jackson!
