[+] RE: Larry Brown possibly coaching the Knicks again

>From the too good to be true dept (via hoopshype):

"Another name that cannot be ruled out is Louisville's Rick Pitino, the
former Knicks coach. Jackson considers Pitino the best coach he played for
and the two have remained close throughout the years. Whether Pitino would
leave college and return to the NBA for a third time is not known."

Isaiah Thomas to Rick Pitino? Out of the frying pan, into the fire.


[+] RE: Way's suggestion of Perkins + Davis for Bogut

eh, bleh. Bogut seems to be the Christian Laettner of this generation:
marginally overrated, kinda prickly with his teammates, softer than you'd
like, etc.

I agree that long-term keeping Powe and Davis might be difficult and that
given Powe's play of late he might be pulling ahead in that race.

The guy i'd be more interested in --- though he's also redundant w/ Powe
(though Powe seems to be able to play some backup Center) is Udonis
Haslem.  Miami is looking to cut salary so somethng like Davis, Scal and a
resigend Pollard would work.
