Bobcats owner Michael Jordan says he'd like to sign coach Larry Brown to a contract extension beyond next season.

"I'd love to keep Larry as long as he (wants to be) here," Jordan said. "Larry hasn't chosen to have that conversation, so we haven't."

Damn, this sucks.

MJ has lost his mind, again.

i dont think this changes anything on LBs side. i still expect him to leave after this season, especially if we miss the playoffs.

Did you forget the F at the end of the WT?

Damn, I was hoping we could bring Sam Vincent back. He's done wonderful things with women's hoops in Africa.

Eh... isn't this WT quoting some stuff said by MJ months ago?

Who else are we going to hire? Phil Ford? Mike Brown? Mike Woodson?

MJ's going to keep LB here for as long as LB wants to be here. That's a given fact.

^No.



LB doesn't want to be here now, why is he still here?

He's still owed another year on his contract right? I say pay the man... screw him. He's the only guy in the league right now coaching worse than Rambis.

I'll start up the Dwayne Casey/Paul Silas love train.

The lovely thing about this is,we all know LB does not want to be here next year so don't stress.
He's not happy with our roster,he doesn't like our centers or our point guard.....he WILL leave and do this all over again, just with another team is all.

LB does not want to coach this team next year. Not any concerns from my point of view about him resigning with Charlotte. At least, not at this point.

Money. I bet LB will reconsider his position if MJ offers him a huge contract. I mean, this is the same man that took a record-breaking deal to coach the laughable Knicks.

no thanks

LB is already one of the highest paid coaches in America at over $6mil per. I don't think any offer he gets is going to be higher than that.

we should start an anti-lb movement called "build the right way" hopefully then we wont throw all our assets into short term solutions to appease larry.

Ironic, since he's the one most responsible for our current crop of centers and point guards.

If Larry is signed for a multi year extension, say 5 years or so, I think you'd be looking to the future. He is really old though...

What's with all the LB hate? Everyone was praising him last season. He's a great coach and there really are no better options out there. However, I don't think we will be signing him to an extension because its clear that his heart isn't set on staying in Charlotte for much longer. But his tenure as the Bobcats coach has done nothing but help this organization...
