Lakers: Since Dwight won't re-sign if D'antoni is still there...

[Clipper Nation]

time warner deal tbh.

Even with a media deal that big, nobody wants to spend a ridiculous amount of money on luxury tax alone on top of the players' salaries and obviously paying for coaches, front office, staff, etc...

I love how every Lakers fan throws Buss under the bus for the D'Antoni hiring when Kobe Bryant personally signed off on it if they couldn't get Phil.

Kobe was thinking 7 secs or less was gonna pad his stats for the scoring le and regular season glory. Kobe never does anything without his selfish reasons behind it. Now that's its not working, he's throwing the system under the bus....but I thought we were all idiots for questioning it earlier this year

Spurs Fans kill me with their hatred for Kobe because of the humiliation inflicted on that franchise in the past. Get over it! Jim Buss runs the lakers now and pulls all the strings. Kobe liked MDA and said he would be cool with it. Kobe endorsed him before he found out that Phil Jackson was available and he quickly changed his vote to Phil Jackson.

Kobe was thinking 7 NBA le appearances and 5 NBA les in 11 years. Kobe wants to win and always has and that along with his exceptional talent is what makes him one of the greatest players to ever play the game.

Truth hurts, doesn't it.

Harsher luxury tax rules + compe ion from other warm-weather destination teams (MIA, LAC) = good luck with that dream

A) The Lakers have proven that luxury taxes don't mean jack to them
B) You may be right as long as CP3 is there but...
C) The Lakers have deeper pockets than Miami and LAC combined ($5B TWC deal allows them to absorb luxury tax penalties)

All of the above is moot as long as Jim Buss is destroying my favorite team with his idiotic vision for the Lakers (firing Phil, hiring MB, firing MB, hiring MDA instead of Phil).

[LkrFan]

Maybe if Jim Buss isn't in charge.

This is an undeniable truth bomb. They really need to put Jeannie in charge. She's has more basketball knowedge in her edible thong than Jim ever will have.

Do it Mitch

[Bill_Brasky]

I really hope the Lakers turn into the Cowboys of the NBA, their fans from back in the day are pretty cool but the Kobists must be done away with.

[LakerHater]

Maybe the problem isnt the coaches Dwight has been with!

[Ace]

Lakers will struggle to get anyone to sign there this offseason after this nightmare season. Especially with MIA, LAC and both teams in NY as their compe ion. Cuban is going all out this offseason as well, IMO.

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

Jim buss is burying this franchise........ get rid of that dumb and you'll see the old Lakers back

[dbreiden83080]

So the Lakers will be paying what about 25 mil for coaches that don't coach the team anymore?

[Latarian Milton]

is confident _'antoni will leave the post before the season ends, is a coach killer tbh.

[whitemamba]

Do it Mitch

[TDMVPDPOY]

i dunno how can pringles believe in post play, when d12 hasnt shown down low...

lol lakers = chelsea FC, overpaying coaches to fire them and repay out their stupid contracts...

lakers slowly catching chelsea how many coaches they still paying off...

[Riddler]

Read an article that the Lakers arenot considering firing or buying out D'antonI in the near future.

[UZER]

Do it Mitch

man they're all the same...egotistical attention seeking s. Kobe learned from the best.



edit: I just got teo'd! nice PhotoShop! But I'm still not wrong.

Interesting. I read on the intertoobz that the Jews planned 9/11

Outside of not resigning PJ, what has Jim done to destroy the Lakers? All the real basketball related matters are in Mitch's hands. It's not like he's a Dolan or Jerry Jones. Ya'll are overreacting. (Kobe and Mitch still signed off on D'Antoni)

TBH, PJ would have made the playoffs, but still as the 6-8th seed. We forgetting that he got swept and didn't even care his last year? (With an equivalent roster tbh with Dwight in full baby mode and Nash TOSB) He was laughing on the sidelines, giving that stupid PJ smile. At least Mike Brown won a game against the Thunder.

This. there is no move outside of getting Lebron or Durant that will help the Lakers win a le anytime soon. I get they dont want to rebuild ... tried to re-load. It failed ...ah well. At least Celts aint winning it either . All I care about (big picture) is eeing us win 1more than the Celts before I die. Kobe getting 6 ranks pretty low for me ...and it would only lead to more hate since Kobe fanbois would re-open the Kobe/Jordan debate that ended long ago ...

Short-term just give me a team that plays hard every bnight.

Lakers will fire D'antoni after this season. Saves embarrassment from having to fire 2 coaches in a 1 season

Firing two coaching in 1 season sends a clear message of intent and standards. It also hurts the pocketbook. It wouldn't be more embarrassing than losing and it wouldn't hurt ticket sales or merchandising.

I actually wish the Lakers would bring Phil back. That way he could hush it critics who say he needs a stacked team to win a ring. Sure this team is stacked, but two coaches couldn't get them together. If Phil could, that would be a great legacy. I believe he would just let them run themselves and not give a . They would fail and he would take his money and leave again. That would be great.
