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

The Lakers were coming off back-to-back les and 3 consecutive Finals appearances before getting swept by Dallas..I don't know why it's used as a reference point for Jackson's failure at the end of his tenure..any team would be burnt out by 3 consecutive Finals appearances, it takes a toll, especially in a city like LA with endless pressure from the media and fans..

Like I said when Mike Brown got fired. . .the Lakers sucking wasn't his fault. It was the players'. Is anyone really shocked the Lakers still sucked? Super selfish perimeter player and good playmaking perimeter player don't work well together since one needs the ball while the other refuses to give it up. . .while on the same team with a selfish post player who can't impact the game on D' very well 'cause both high profile perimeter players they have SUCK on defense.

It's just another indication that he needs a stacked roster to win. That was pre German surgery Kobe, sulking Pau, no Lamar Odom, and Bynum. The current Lakers are in even more a state of disarray and people expected PJ to do much better?
