    According to Hoopsworld's Eric Pincus, the Lakers have agreed to hire distinguished former Euroleague head coach Ettore Messina as a full-time consultant on Brown's staff.

    Kevin Ding: Ettore Messina on Lakers: "I am honored to have received this opportunity from one of the greatest basketball organizations in the world."

    Was it something we said? Or did they just offer more money?

    Ya, this news came out a little while ago and there was a thread on it IIRC. It would have been nice to have him, but it seems like they want to use him as an offensive specialist when I was under the impression he was more defensive minded. Good hire though.

    I imagine the lakers were able to offer signifigantly more money, but according to ESPN, messina and brown are apparently pretty tight and messina has been looking to transition to the NBA, even interviewing for the raptors job a little while back before they settled on jay triano.
