There seems to be mixed sentiments on this, but I think the Knicks DEFINITELY need to hire Larry Brown.
I like Herb Williams, he seems like a good guy and I'm sure he's a good coach, but Larry Brown is arguably the best coach in basketball right now. Certainly the best available one.
He'll come in and teach these guy how to play defense and how to play 'the right way'. He'll give the Knicks heart and toughness, something they haven't had since the Jeff Van Gundy years.
They'll be in a much better position as a franchise when he quits in two or three years, too.
Yea, he's kind of a jerk (talking to Cleveland in the playoffs and basically telling people about it was very unprofessional) and he always bounces after a few years (although, coaches do get fired all the time so I don't think quitting before you get fired is necessarily that bad) but let's face it, the Knicks are awful and desperate. They can't afford not to jump at an all-time coaching great if he's available.

The Knicks need to dump some of their overpaid players and rebuild. They should wait a couple of years before hiring Larry Brown. He'll be gone by the time the rebuilt team is finally getting good. They're going to stink the next couple of years.
The Knicks are hopeless.
Nate Robinson and Mike Sweetney are their only legit players- everybody else is soft (Frye, Tim Thomas, Mo Taylor), washed up (Hardaway, Rose) a heist (Crawford, Richardson) and a loser (Marbury).. not to mention they're ALL undersized.
Larry Brown or not, good luck. You're better off rooting for the Nets, or in my case, the Bullets.
