Lakers coach Mike Brown has been fired, USA TODAY Sports has learned -

[Bill_Brasky]

That was quick.

Lakers probably won't contend this year....they should go after Adelman.

[Findog]

They should hire Stan Van Gundy tbh

Lucky bastards. If only McHale could get fired and picked up by the Lakers would be full of :lol

if he really fired then it probably mean lakers reach an agreement wit somebody. imma hopin it not svg

[Chris]

Dantoni would be hilarious but it will be some interim coach that no one has heard of

[Bill_Brasky]

Adelman already has a job...

My bad......I forgot about det one.

[Findog]

Will they bring P-Jax back? Make Eddie Jordan interim? What other big names are out there?

[Clipper Nation]

Anyway, at least there's no more excuses for the Lakers, and they'll have to face the music about their flawed roster and lack of depth, none of which is on coaching...

Not to mention, they probably just set themselves back even more since any new coach will be installing a totally new system on the fly...

Sloan got no job, maybe he wanna come back ta coaching

Sloan's still out there, but he's a better fit for the Clippers than the Lakers...

Isn't Phil in bad health? IIRC, that's why he walked away from the game in the first place...

I hope the Lakers make Eddie Jordan the interim, he's even worse than Mike Clown :lol

Can't imagine they don't have a big name waiting in the wings to take over.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
As Lakers ownership has been considering firing of Brown, Mike D'Antoni has been a prominent name discussed as replacement, sources tell Y!

If Woj says it then it's true.

[Mugen]

my money's on Jerry Sloan. But he's not adding any athleticism or footspeed on the perimeter.

[Findog]

Kobe and Nash would both like D'Antoni. I guess the defense wouldn't matter as much since they have Howard to protect the rim and cover up others mistakes.

[DPG21920]

It will be and should be Dan IMO. If you can make a successful, high paced team with Amare, you should certainly have the tools to do it with Nash, Kobe, and two supremely athletic bigs in Pau/Dwight. I think opening it up and making Kobe a shooter and putting the ball in Nash's hands is a good thing. Plus, Dan never had any good defensive players and bigs, so having Pau/Dwight should definitely offset some of his flaws.

Will be tough to install on the fly, but he has a ton of off talent to work with.

I'd be shocked if Sloan even considered it for three reasons...

1. He couldn't handle DWill's ego, why would he even try to babysit Kobe and Dwight?

2. The elite PG/PF combo his system depends on plays for the team across the hall...

3. He's a small-market kind of guy and doesn't seem like he'd be comfortable with the constant hype and drama surrounding the Lakers...

[Findog]

I bet Nate Silver knows who the next Lakers coach is going to be.

Mike D..he's more of an offensive coach than defensive..how would that help this team????? Besides the Lakers as a whole struggle to score as it is.

[Findog]

Mike D..he's more of an offensive coach than defensive..how would that help this team????? Besides the Lakers as a whole struggle to score as it is.

D'Antoni would help with the offense. You don't bring a guy in like Steve Nash and then make him a bit player in a half-court offense. I know it was only 1.5 games but Nash is really not nearly as good outside of 7SOL. He hadn't looked that bad since the Terry Porter days. With Dwight and Pau they have enough size and defense to protect the paint even though Pringles doesn't care about defense.

[DPG21920]

Well, while LA's offense has been decent, I think they are running it wrong based on the talent they have. Coach Dan would change that and implement the right system for that team. While defense is clearly the problem, I think Dwight not being all the way back is a big part of that which is not a system issue, plus I think the gain in offensive production will offset that some too.

Coach D has won a lot of games with his system and never had a squad like this. LA's lack of outside shooting might hurt, but Nash, Kobe, Artest, Meeks, Jamison are all capable outside shooters (Blake too). While we know defense wins championships typically, you can still go far with a high powered offense (see old Suns, new Spurs) and if Dwight gets fully healthy, their defense will improve significantly anyways.

[Findog]

Reports are Chuck Person will be interim coach.

[DesignatedT]

D'antoni :lmao :lmao

Nash will be out of the lineup all year and D'antoni will be leading the Lakers.

[monosylab1k]

Mike D..he's more of an offensive coach than defensive..how would that help this team????? Besides the Lakers as a whole struggle to score as it is.

Um, the offense struggles because Mike Brown put in a shitty godawful offense that doesn't take advantage of the talent on the roster. D'Antoni would fix that instantly. Maybe stick to posting funny gifs cuz when u actually come out with a basketball take, it's usually shit.

[djohn2oo8]

Seriously, they can bring in whoever they want to. Fact is Blake will be starting before season's end after Nash completely breaks down.

Hey let's use a shitty offense that a bunch of unathletic college white guys use to control the tempo of a game. That totally works for an NBA team that has Dwight Howard and Steve Nash on it.

[DPG21920]

LA's offense has not been that bad really. Their tied for 5th in offensive efficiency, but there is still a lot of potential there to unlock as Nash has been a complete non-factor.

[HeatChamps]

The Lakers are too old to run and gun. Blaming this on Brown is fucking hilarious.

[Spurs9]

LOL Shitty lakers looking for a out for their shitty play. When Howard can't perform he will throw anyone under the bus. I hope the Bobcats have a better record then the Lakers.

It's about as dumb as telling Dwight Howard to forget about defense and telling a bunch of old, slow guys to run the floor...

Additionally, Pringles' offense does not work with a ball-stopper, this was proven by Melo in NY and I couldn't see it being any different with Kobe...

Bernie Bickerstaff is the interim coach for tonights game

[DPG21920]

Dwight/Pau is so much better from an athleticism/skill standpoint than anything Coach D has had before it's unreal. Yes, Nash is not the same & injuries are a major concern for him, but he's still productive in a good system.

Kobe is 10x better than anything that system has had too. Imagine replacing Joe Johnson or J-Rich with Kobe and Amare/Marion with Pau/Dwight/Artest. Given, age has caught up to some, but the point remains IMO

[Spurs9]

[FYM]

4 days ago

Ultimately, Brown maintained his confidence in the long-term plan the Lakers are trying to execute.
"I feel really good about the direction that we're going," Brown said. "Obviously in the short term, it's not pretty. It's not fun right now, but I really feel confident in what we're trying to do with the group of guys that we have. It's just going to take a little bit of time for them to completely understand what we have going on and then also myself to where I'm comfortable with the rotation, the things that I want to do with our guys on the floor and so on and so forth."

Pau/Kobe/Dwight are all still pretty damn athletic, even if they are older. Nash has slowed down, but can still be productive in an open system (see last year).

[HeatChamps]

When you replace an offensive threat like Bynum with an non-offensive threat like Howard, you are going to have problems scoring.

[DesignatedT]

You can't hire D'antoni and then expect him to start changing how he's done shit in the past also. That just setting yourself up for more failure. 7 second shot clock rule isn't working in LA. Better off going with Nate McMillan or somebody else.

Jerry Sloan? You really think he's gonna put up with Dwight's court jester routine?

[DPG21920]

And don't get me wrong, I don't think Coach Dan saves the day or that it's guaranteed to work, but I see the logic in the move and it could work out pretty well.

[timvp]

Damn, I was hoping the Lakers would take their sweet time in firing Mike Brown. He had obviously lost the team already (in other words, Kobe didn't respect him) so it was only a matter of time.

Unfortunately, this was a good move by the Lakers. And I really don't want them to hire D'Antoni. He can fix that offense and their individual defenders are good enough to figure it out on their own.

Plus, Kobe would be forced to respect D'Antoni since D'Antoni routinely bent Kobe over back in his prime.

Definitely a strange coincidence, to say the least.

[Malik Hairston]

Good move for the Lakers, hiring D'Antoni would also be a solid move..I don't think it'll be enough though, tbh..

I picked LA to win the West, I'm not going to relent, but my choice was based on the assumption that Howard would be able to mask the defensive deficiencies like he did in Orlando..so far, Howard has been good defensively, but not elite, his athleticism isn't on the same level that we're accustomed to seeing..outside of Artest, the rest of the roster is either average or terrible on D..unless Howard gradually recovers his athleticism(not a guarantee), their defense will continue to struggle..

The fact that their defense will struggle is the best argument for D'Antoni IMO..becoming a powerhouse offensive team is their only option for success, at the moment..

Kobe is still the best player on that team. And in a way, he's also the worst in that he isn't going to respect any coach who comes in who hasn't a championship on his resume. I don't know that I blame him. Kobe's a closer and he wants a coach who is, too. But Pop, Rivers and Carlisle aren't available. Riley isn't available. Larry Brown isn't available.

I'll chime in....happy to report the M Brown era is over. That's all, and if the Lakers don't win this year I will still be happy that Brown is gone. The Lakers are a veteran team that needs motivation (Rivers comes to mind) rather than pure x and o's and defensive schemes.

Phil or Sloan.

Pringles is ok I presume as he was Kobe's favourite player when he was in Italy. The respect is there already.

[gmartin02]

In the words of Richter (Michael Ironside) in Total Recall when Cohaagen says it was OK to kill Quaid (Arnold): "It's about God damn time!"

I knew the Lakers would SUCK as soon as they hired the Clown before the beginning of last season, and totally lost interest until they could get their coaching shit together. Now Jimmy B, pull your head out of your ass and let someone more knowledgeable make coach hiring decisions.

While Bynum does take games off, he is more of a dominating force (when he's right) in the paint than Dwight. Dwight can be easily shut down/frustrated.

So can Bynum, you just have to double him and he will take a bad shot most of the time. He refuses to pass out of doubles a lot. Don't even have to get into how easily frustrated he can be

Exactly my point. Bynum can be a dominant force like Shaq. So trading Bynum for Howard is a lateral move at best.

When was Bynum ever a a dominating force? He had maybe a hand full of games where he looked good but he's never been the one number option like Howard and has even shut down by simply fronting him. Howard may not have the offense repertoire than Bynum has but he is still better than Bynum.

[angelbelow]

For the Lakers, I think its Phil or bust. To abandon everything you worked for the past 8 weeks is kind of risky and not to mention Kobe/Nash still have to gel because those pieces don't fit perfectly. IMO only Phil can bridge this gap.

[Ace]

I'm interested to hear your take on how that is because of Dwight Howard.

[ElNono]

I'm interested to hear your take on how that is because of Dwight Howard.

In a way, he's partly to blame. If you watch the Lakers games, Howard, while effective, is a pace killer. He's dominant on offense (more than Bynum), but the ball a lot of times stops in his hands and nothing else happens. His freebie woes also kill some of that effectiveness.

I would argue, however, that the biggest disappointment has been on the defensive side. He's supposed to be a dominant defensive guy that should be the anchor on the back, but it just hasn't happened with the Lakers. This team gets scored on like crazy. Can't pin all of that on Howard, because the perimeter defense has been abysmal, but inside he hasn't been as effective as he's been in Orlando either.

Of course he has part of the blame because he is part of the team that is to blame. Lakers struggles have to do with not getting back on defense, running a shitty offense and insane amount of turnovers. However I was responding in context to the quotes below. Can't say the Lakers record is due to Bynum being the better player.

Horrible take

Dwight has played 6 games since his surgery. Can't really expect him to have his legs back and be the same dominant defensive force he was that quick.

[djohn2oo8]

Dwight is better athletically, but he's been in the league too long to still look robotic in the paint.

[Ace]

Dwight is better athletically, but he's been in the league too long to still look robotic in the paint.
Yet he still better than Bynum. Not long ago you thought the Rockets would Dwight and were praising him to be the best center in the league. Don't be bitter.


Dwight has only been in the league one year longer than Bynum...

True. Because the Rockets were shit before Harden and with him now with a bunch of scrubs, so yeah Dwight would immediately make them better. Like I said before, he is the best center in the game, at the same time you have to look at the center position of today's game and see how it has changed fundamentally from the past. You have Dwight, Bynum, then a dramatic dropoff.

Howard's defense hasn't been up to the level we expect, but he's still playing defense at a top 5 level..statistically, Garnett, Duncan, Chandler, Marc Gasol and Bogut(in limited minutes) have been the only bigs that have been as valuable, or more, than Howard..

That's still impressive for a recovering, high usage player, tbh..

Bynum's defense was usually lazy and uninspired and his offense was often thwarted by double teams and poor shot selection..at his peak, there's an argument that he's better than Howard, but from a consistency standpoint, it's not even close IMO..

I agree that Howard's offense has hurt LA, so far..to be fair, he's currently the only Laker that consistently contributes in more than one facet of basketball..
