Brown would make an excellent coach for the Knicks. He has been a head coach for three teams (Cavaliers, Lakers, Kings), and has compiled a 454-304 record.

Brown brings playoff experience as he has coached 90 postseason games, with a 50-40 record. Brown’s best achievement was coaching the 2006-07 Cleveland Cavaliers and leading them to the NBA Finals.

Will Brown lead the New York Knicks to the Finals next season?
