I seem to recall Larry taking allot of abuse for not being able to get the job done faster because of those contracts by the same people praising him now and telling him not to leave. and why is it your job to report he leaving before he decides to announce it himself? would be pretty funy if he decides he is staying.

Why would there exist a report of 100% certainty only to be denied the next day?

He’s a top 10 all time player; a coach who had a near .700 winning percentage, one Finals appearance, 3 Easter Conference Champion appearances all in three seasons; and as a GM he brought up a team that was in shambles since pretty much the Artest fight and Miller retiring.

Good job, Larry. You will be missed.

Can’t blame him for not coming back.
