Seems like more of a favor to MJ than anything. I give it two years before Larry burns out or his players tune him out.

But Brown should follow his modus operandi in Charlotte: Year 1 - vast improvement, eke into #8 seed in East. Year 2 - respectable run in playoffs, win first round, lost valiantly in Conference semifinals.
Year 3 - Implosion...
