His coaching staff
Los Angeles Lakers head coach Mike D’Antoni will have a smaller staff next season — Bernie Bickerstaff and Chuck Person have been let go, the team announced. Per the LA Daily News: “Coach Mike D’Antoni told assistant coaches Bernie Bickerstaff and Chuck Person they would not return to the Lakers’ coaching staff next season, according to Lakers spokesman John Black. D’Antoni had kept all of Mike Brown’s assistants after he was fired following a 1-4 start while hiring his brother, Dan, to help oversee his offense after spending time on his staff in Phoenix and New York. But it was expected D’Antoni would at least somewhat alter his staff after the season ended. Bickerstaff went 4-1 as an interim coach following Brown’s firing, and has been considered one of Brown’s most influential mentors. Person remained the last connection to Phil Jackson’s staff. Brown kept Person when he was hired in May 2011, and was also kept upon D’Antoni’s arrival. Person’s main responsibility under Jackson and Brown mostly involved the team’s defense. Under D’Antoni, Person mostly worked on players’ shooting mechanics and specifically worked with Dwight Howard on post moves and free-throw shooting. [...] Yet, Dan D’Antoni, Clifford, Darvin Ham and Phil Handy are still on the Lakers’ staff.”

Lakers have found who was responsible for all that 120mln $ piece of crap of a season
This just shows Buss and D'antoni have the keys to that franchise. And Lakerfans deserve nothing less.
Doesn't matter who you fire or re-hire, you still have to play defense. Until D'antoni adjusts his coaching philosophy (which he won't) it's going to be lol Lakers until he's gone.
OP trolling Laker fan
Lakers are going to be a smoking ruin for a long time it looks like.
You didn't hear? It's never the head coach's fault; it's his lazy assistants who gave ty advice.
Remember when Jimmy Dolan and Mike D'Antoni led the Knicks to last in the Atlantic?
wait......so chuck person was coaching defense and post play?
obviously coaching to his strengths as a player......
wop ain't the right one for lakers in the first place imho. dude did his best and it was already quite an achievement to take this team to the playoffs, but the lakers FO needs to find a scapegoat to take the whole blame and to excuse mitch himself, and _'antoni supposedly becomes that person
slides downhill tbh. If Lakers underachieve this season, D Antoni is on the chopping block since he's already passed the buck and gotten rid of Person and Bickerstaff tbh.
