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.....)
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
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.
As long as it is a slower version of it that's fine with me.. I still hate D'Antoni's philosophy... But Let's see what Phil & Sloan say first.
And if we do have to go with D'Antoni.. We better be looking for the best damn Defensive Assistant Coaches alive
I think Pearson & Darvin Hamm should stay around as Assistant Coaches.. Both seem respected, and work well with Dwight
