NBA Commissioner David Stern tonight issued the following statement:

?At my request, the New York Knicks and Larry Brown have agreed to a compromise resolution of the dispute between them.  Neither the Club nor Larry have any future obligation to each other and have assured me, in response to my direction and request, that there will be no further public discussion of the matter.  In addition, I have assured the parties that this resolution will have no precedential value in any future disputes before me.?
