Next time don't let the Mavs beat ya flat & you'll have a case.
Lakers will be back at the top if they embrace MB's D. There's enough talent and experience to get them by and Brown has been waiting Messina to be his assistant for years.
MB hardly criticizes his players through the media, he pretty much sucks talking in front of a crowd, something totally different to PJ.
mike brown did what the owner of the cavs wanted
do cuddle james
Suicide.... Buss must not have realized the difference between a coach and a bystander. Brown didn't really have anything to do with the Cavs winning. And he never won the big game.
Everyone to quick to doubt a great young coach. Brown got a lot out of some ty roleplayers in Cleveland.
He's probably filling in temporarily until Phil Jackson changes his mind...
Non-Issue
he doesn't have the personality to ever be a great coach
phil j, pop, larry brown, riles, etc are all imposing and demand respect...brown doesn't have that he sounds like a socially awkward, stuttering, 40 yr old virgin he's not gna cut it in LA
...last time he had his mind changed for him he could still cut the mus . Now he's probably only able to lick the jar.
Issue
Clublakers down
so no triangle next year
so are the lakers going to go after a point guard?
By the way, Mike Brown shoulb be on ESPN tonight during the halftime show
I am surprised the lakers did not make this announcement during the finals
I told my co-worker they would be.
they just have to have attention in the postseason
So he might not fit in via the personality but you're writing him off because of that?? I still think MB has enough passion and basketball smarts to get Kobe and co on his side in training camp.
You gonna be happy for him in June, Congo?..
I agree I fall in to that trap ...writing him off based on his "presence" ...he is a excellent defensive coach, and TBH if went Adelman or Shaw I would of wanted a defensive guru like Brown on the staff anyway. If he compiles a good staff ...he should do well. Can he get us back to a le? Who knows PJ was not able to with the current roster ...that needs some tweaks. So i will judge him not on les, but on getting the most out of the roster, that is all you can ask for.
So not thrilled, but hopeful. Adelman was my top choice out of the "pool" ...to me, Shaw is too green right now ...
With the hiring finished surely some roster tweaks will happen. I agree about Shaw, it's bad timing so he should have come to Cleveland a year ago in hindsight if he wanted a HC gig.
With the front office choosing MB over Adelman the priority is pretty obvious and it's going to be defense. The offensive side is probably still over his head a bit but I think he's going to love working with the size on Lakers roster.
Brown loves big line-ups.
I guess some of my assumptions are correct, Ronnie Lester out, Brian Shaw on his way out anytime soon along with Hamblem. Jim Buss aint ing around.Quote:http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angele...ory?id=6589726
The revolving door for the new era in Los Angeles Lakers franchise is ready to start turning.
On the same day Mike Brown agreed in principle to a four-year, $18.25 million deal to replace Phil Jackson as the next coach of the Lakers, multiple sources told ESPNLosAngeles.com that assistant general manager Ronnie Lester will not be brought back when his contract expires at the end of June.
Lester just completed his 10th season as assistant GM, serving under general manager Mitch Kupchak. The 52-year-old Lester's relationship with the team spans more than 25 years dating back to the 1984-85 season when he signed as a free agent and played the final two seasons of his injury-shortened NBA career with the Lakers, winning a championship in 1985.
It's unclear exactly why he's on the way out; Jim Buss has apparently taken over operation of the franchise in some exclusivity as Phil Jackson moves into retirement. Lakers expert and author Roland Lazenby tweeted Wednesday that Buss is "determined ... to remove Phil's imprimatur and influence."
Apart from Lester, the Lakers have also informed more than a dozen scouts, training staff members and video staff personnel that their contracts will not be renewed when they expire at the end of June as well, as first reported by the Los Angeles Times.
Kupchak remains in place, but how long he is for the job is anybody's guess. This is unprecedented turnover for the NBA's glamor franchise, at least over the past few decades.
The layoffs first appeared to be a cost-cutting measure by the Lakers in light of the potential lockout that could occur July 1 if the NBA owners and players' association cannot finalize a new collective bargaining agreement by then. But, while it initially seemed like there was potential for the employees to be rehired when the possible drawn-out labor unrest is settled, the growing sense is the team is using this offseason to cut ties with the Jackson days and turn the page on the next era of Lakers basketball.
Garry Vitti is next
Happy for MB now, I got the draft too focus on in June.
You gonna be happy for HIM in June, though?..
no, Dirk's going to exorcise some demons anyway.
Jesus, Mike Brown is a ing re . He cannot speak, on TV right now. He may have some good basketball principles on which he wants to establish his team like defense and hard work, but he is a damn moron.
They should go with Bob Hill.
