It doesn’t appear as if D’Antoni will survive and make it to next season.
The ex-Knicks coach has turned into a polarizing figure during what has been the Lakers’ worst season since arriving in Los Angeles in 1960. So it would be extremely difficult for the Lakers to bring him back. They also are looking to change their style to one that better fits Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, whom they plan on re-signing this summer when he becomes free.
One league source said there is sentiment within the Lakers’ executive offices for a “peaceful, mutual parting’’ with D’Antoni, who has one season left on his contract at $4 million. There’s another season beyond that, but it is at the team’s option.
“They don’t want to fire Mike,’’ the source said.
The Lakers are hoping for a best-case scenario: Another team asks to hire away D’Antoni. Then he could be freed up to leave and the Lakers wouldn’t get their hands dirty with their second firing of their coach in 17 months, following Mike Brown’s dismissal after a 1-4 start in November, 2012. They would then be able to make a popular move with their fans by hiring Byron Scott or current assistant coach Kurt Rambis, both of whom are part of the Lakers’ brand as ex-players from the Showtime days of the ’80s.
Either would get the seal of approval from Bryant, who wants D’Antoni out. Despite Rex Chapman’s report of a “done deal’’ for John Calipari to coach the Lakers, the team has absolutely no interest in hiring him, according to team sources.

Because you didn't have the courage of your convictions to tell him how you really felt. I ain't no better. I was perusing a Penthouse Magazine over a cherry turnover at Arby's one afternoon when the guy in the booth adjacent began talking on his cell phone. It was Jerry Colangelo. My chance to read a riot act to the big cheese. Please. I ended getting his autograph as we talked about the goodness of the Arby.
go worry about the suns and cavs
Oh and go pay your ticket
How many beef n cheddar's were you in at that point, Cub?
I just went in to keep cool and have the turnover & Jomocha shake. Those cherry turnovers. I God's.
My . The beef and cheddar is , but those cherry mother ers are good.
Magic is always saying what's wrong with the Lakers. Put him on the bench to straighten out that dog.
Funny how everyone saw it coming 6 months before it came to reality.
