You kidding? With that pick and roll option with Dwight and Josh + Nash, Kobe would have all kinds of catch and shoot looks, and he'd love those. Less wear and tear, easier to deal with, and if he feels a little lonely, he's certainly capable of being given a few minutes a half with Nash out for him to run the offense and do what he does.

Plus, Mike D and Kobe are cool, and always have been. Kobe would be fine with D'Antoni. (not that I would, I don't believe in his defense, but then again, he's never had Dwight and Josh Smith as defenders, so maybe we'd have something there.....)

Now that's a whole different problem.. Mitch & Jimmy have orchestrated a 2014 Lakers reloading..

Getting Josh Smith would mean a max contract in the offseason... Which along with Dwight & Nash as the only players under contract would put us at like $45 million. That would basically screw up out chance at a great FA class.

Also not to mention D'Antoni is a terrible coach

Mitch is addressing the fans and media on this now

[h1]Phil Jackson Cancels Chicago Conference Day Before Brown Firing[/h1]

By Ramneet Singh  | November 9, 2012

---

The Los Angeles Lakers are currently 1-4 and the team is not playing up to its expectations. Coach Mike Brown was criticized for the team’s performance for quite some time, beginning with its 0-8 record in the preseason.

—- Get your Lakers Nation gear and show off your team pride!  —-

Even though many people didn’t expect the Lakers to fire Brown five games into the season, the front office decided to make the move official early today. There is now a void on the Lakers’ bench and there are many possible replacements in the market.

Former Lakers coach Phil Jackson is rumored to be on the list of head coaches, someone that would be welcomed with open arms. Surprisingly, Jackson was supposed to a be a keynote speaker at Schwab Advisor Services IMPACT conference  in Chicago next week, but he decided to cancel that appearance.

In a last-minute development, actor Alan Alda will replace famed basketball coach Phil Jackson as the keynote speaker on the closing day of the annual Schwab Advisor Services IMPACT conference in Chicago next week, according to Bernie Clark, executive vice president, national sales manager of Schwab Advisor Services.

One could look deep into this report and suggest that the Lakers were in contact with Jackson before they announced the firing of Mike Brown. Perhaps there will be a “secret” meeting between Jackson and the Lakers, and that may be why he chose not to attend the conference.

At this point, a Jackson-Lakers reunion is just speculation and who knows if he will come back to the City of Angels.

Civility lasted less than a page

No I'm not kidding...

A run and gun offense will not be good for Kobe because it will take too much energy. Also even with Steve, he can run it, but it will wear on him, and he even expressed his relief that he wouldn't have to make every single play anymore which took out way too much in him each game

Mitch saying that there looking at coaches who aren't employed right now

Crosses out Brian Shaw

ABC7 is playing the Lakers presser right now.

 

[noblekane]

pride is a hard thing to swallow. thank god jim finally did

 

[goldmember]

I don't know if you guys watched the 4th quarter of that Kings game in Pre-season (Dwight's first game) .. There was at least 3 or 4 straight possesions when Nash run PnR with Dwight and Pau ... They either had free lay-ups or got fouled .. it was a thing of beauty.. wondered why Nash hasn't been doing it ever since.. this was before he got injured..

 

[armorrig]

What type of offense will we see for tonights game?

 

[mjgreatxii]

Essentially Mitch said there going after Phil... (without saying it)

 

[pmatic]

What type of offense will we see for tonights game?

Probably more of the same, just to keep some continuity in the short term.

 

[menacin methods]

Just hire Derek Fisher as the head coach.
It will be the only way to stop him from playing again.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

After Nash got hurt he acknowledged that he had the option to run PnR whenever, he just was choosing not to because learning the system would help the team in the long run.

He hesitated when asked if he thought that would be better than him handling the offense every trip... then gave a diplomatic answer... Struck me as he was just giving a generic crowd-pleasing answer while he tried executing Mike Brown's offense.

Doesn't have to be run and gun bruh, they can still run a half court offense with that group. Dwight back to the basket, Kobe ball, Nash pick and roll game, you could still space them all out and do different things, won't need to be SSOL.

 

[acbboyz84]

No to Brian Shaw

 

[trynafeelmink]

If phil comes back to this team mannnnnnnnnnn

 

[acbboyz84]

Just hire Derek Fisher as the head coach.

No. I think he was hired by Mike Brown not Lakers

 

[fearless]

wow shocking, didnt see this coming this fast. man great day in lakers nation. i feel bad for MB but it is what it is. Lakers dont have time for coach to mess around. Please bring Phil back or at least Sloan. No to D'antoni.

 

[CHAOSE57]

What happens to Eddie Jordan?

 

[kash55]

#1 has to be Phil
#2 Mike D'Antoni
