This isnt the last chapter, though we have reached the climax. Much more of the story will unfold throughout this week. Brown could very well keep a job within Detroit's organization as the vice-president and scout. He could NOT accept the buyout and force Dumars/Davidson to react or the buy out could be the end result. We shall see.

I appreciate what LB has brought to the franchise. All of the drama is worth it, as long as the Pistons remain in the finals year in-year out. I gather that Brown truly wanted to remain the coach for Detroit but his health issues are sadly the deciding factor in this case. There is no way Dumars continues the chance of his headcoach missing games like last season. He has seen what distractions do to this team (as well as any team) and the end result was not another championship so the franchise is not in perfect contentment.

Either way I am not worried about the direction the team is going because Flip or Porter will do an acceptable job at the least. We do not know what a Piston team (with Sheed) can do without Brown but what we did see during the first half of LB's first season was a team floating around .500 with no real identity. Did Rasheed bring the gusto with him or was it a combination of factors? We shall see, if it is true that Larry is no longer the coach of the Pistons.
