"I'm trying to get over this, but it is as bad as it gets," Brown told The Post. "You can't get over this stuff. I still have to take care of my family and do what's best for them. We do have some decisions to make as a family."

Brown admits to being down in the dumps, in limbo, with no clue about his future. He hasn't watched any of the Knicks' summer-league games and will not respond to all the Knick barbs coming out of Sin City.

Channing Frye, Nate Robinson and David Lee, last season's three rookies, spoke about loving the "positive" atmosphere and up-tempo offense Thomas has installed, contrary to Brown's negativity and slow pace. And Stephon Marbury claimed he always wanted Thomas to be Knicks coach and nobody could "surgically remove the smile" from his face.

"It's not unexpected," Brown said of the digs.

Taking the high road, Brown added, "I have nothing more to say. Let the process take care of itself. It doesn't help me by saying anything. It's not going to win the Knicks any more games."

Brown reiterated he won't be coaching next season. "I'm hanging with my kids, wife, trying to get on with my life," Brown said. "I don't see coaching, not for the foreseeable future, maybe ever."

Nobody believes Brown is done, though his wife, Shelly, hopes that's the case. Brown feels he'll be plenty busy next season as an unofficial roving instructor. Brown said he's been invited by a handful of his NBA and college coaching friends to attend their practices and preach his gospel that marked a Hall of Fame coaching career.

"Maybe I can be some help without being a burden," Brown said. "I think I'll be able to stay involved."

In 34 seasons, Brown's 23-59 Knick clip marked only his fourth losing season. Brown, who turns 66 in September, is waiting to speak with commissioner David Stern, who has yet to set a hearing date. The Knicks have withheld Brown's pay. "I have to get everything cleared up with the league, being fired for cause," Brown said.

Brown bought a new house in Greenwich but has yet to move. Brown said the family is still deciding whether to move out of the area, and out of Knick Country. "But we didn't buy the house to sell it," Brown said.

Brown is heading to Memphis next month to conduct an annual coaching seminar with his buddy John Calipari, partly for unemployed coaches. "Now, I'm one of them," Brown said.

They screwed him over so bad that he may get 40 million for his services.

Hey, you pay me 40 mil, you can screw me over any way you want.

**Dre™** · 07-13-2006, 05:21 PM

It's not always money. When you're screwing up in livelihood or whatever, money isn't always the thing to fall back on.

Chan · 07-13-2006, 05:35 PM

Unless it's losing a loved one or something of sentimental value, 40 mil pretty much covers everything.

Tragedy · 07-13-2006, 07:42 PM

sorry buddy, there is no transfer when you already decided to take the low road.

His livelihood? He's 66. He'll retire a rich man.

god i hope you guys arent feeling sorry for this weasel. he is a 60 year old man who should have known better the way he treated ny rookies. nate . frye . lee. all the young guys. you expect some leadership and knowledge from a 60 year old nba vet. he should have known better than to degrade and insult his own players. its an nba law/rule that is unspoken , you dont vent inside stuff to the media. you take care of family stuff in the house. larry brown started ragging on his players to the media , first year pups who didnt know any better. and this is after some 40 years around the league. screw larry brown . he knew what he was doing. he broke the cardinal rule of making your own players look bad and of speaking badly against your own . nate, lee. frye. those guys might have not known any better. marbury should have but it was brown who started the conflict. aw boohoo now says brown i feel bad. screw you . you screwed over a team of young guys and made their life miserable because of your own stupid pride. he doesnt deserve a single penny of that money and he should never be allwed to enter new york again .

It's not settled yet, Stern has the final say. I think he will get close to not all of the 40 million. He didn't screw the Knicks if they have to pay him, because it doesn't count against the cap. The only person he screwed is Dolan's wallet.
