I didn't know he'd done that... I thought he was just being evasive. Although, I did see his little tiff with reporters the other day and I remember thinking, "Well, don't shoot the messenger, Larry!" Hm... pity.
PJ is an assistant coach.
Larry Brown is a head coach.
The Spurs gave PJ their permission to interview elsewhere right now.
The Pistons gave Brown their permission after their season was over.
PJ admits that he's interviewed with the Knicks and Wolves.
At first, Larry Brown boldfaced lied and said that he hadn't talk to Cavs at all about a job.

The scariest thing about reading this was that I can imagine hearing Walton's voice and I just woke up.
Larry Brown lost all credibility years ago. I know Pop is a friend to him and I can't understand why.
They could have just printed this and been done with it. Walton nailed it.Brown's selfishness and his greedy addiction to his own personal agenda has left an indelible stain on everything and his egregious actions have completely overshadowed a potentially great series. Now, Brown is taking the low road by blaming the media and laying it on the messenger as if this is all somehow our fault.
He is doing things on a continuing basis that he would never tolerate from his own players. All we ever hear from this guy is about doing things the "right way." Please, Larry, explain to me how this can be the "right way."
Actually it's not credible (how many times did Brown have to coach because the head coach was tossed out?) it's speculation and not knowing anything about the man. I think James is really going to like playing for Mike Brown. After all Brown has shown that he is a players coach. Just go back and look at his work with the Pacers and Spurs and see what the players have to say about Brown.
Maybe because unlike Larry, Pop is loyal to his mentors
That's exactly the point. This guy has never been a head coach anywhere and that's not what you look for in a coach when you have a team with great promise and one of the best players in the game right now who at the same time may consider leaving.
You want someone with experience.
I'm not saying Mike Brown isn't still a good choice, I'm just saying that the small part of Waltons article that referenced Brown was correct, it's not the best idea to hire a coach with no head coaching experience, especially not for this team under these cir stances...
I hate it when Bill Walton makes a good point.
Wow, I'm really surprised at all the hate going Brown's way. Do I question his timing? Sure. He could have waited a little while, but the fact of the matter is that Cleveland wants to hit the ground running in the off season. What the is Walton talking about Brown "quitting" on his team. I think a lot of people have been quick to pin their recent struggles on him meeting with Cleveland but they've been up and down all damn season and especially during the playoffs. I think this story is more hype than reality. The Pistons are not focusing well, and that may well be a shortcoming on Larry Brown's part, but it's not because he's talking to the Cavs.
He was a former Spurs coach, San Antonio resident, and Pop mentor. ... Spurs related!
BTW I think the fight is the reason he's leaving... and basically he's got a winning team but they are just a bunch of thugz.
He likes to help fix broken franchises anway.
