LB is and has always been overrated. He was never able to win a championship until he took a team that Rick Carlisle and Joe Dumars built and just didn't fvck up when the Lakers limped into the Finals. The Lakers at full strength would have demolished the Pistons.
I've never been a Brown fan and think that he's just a nomad who skips town when the going gets tough. And what the were they thinking giving him a group of young players when he despises young players.
I say he's more of a problem than the group of players. Pop (and a number of other coaches including Phil Jackson) would have made this work.
