The Lakers Coaching Carousel of Hell

I wish I got to this earlier, but I wasn't surprised Mike Brown was shit-canned, just in the confusing manner in which it all went down. Brown's team ran a stupid offense considering your pieces are strong enough to not need a special system, especially one that renders spectacular play-maker and facilitator Steve Nash useless. That team can't lose games this early as badly as they did. They have a two year window to make championships return to L.A. and that's it. Knowing they took off the kid gloves and sent Brown packing (Sidenote: This should have happened to Spolestra 4 years ago) you'd think they would do all things possible to make a championship as likely as possible... So they sign injured Mike D'Antoni instead of Phil Jackson? I found it especially strange THE LAKERS seemed confused that they fired Brown and had no contingency plan in place. It makes NO sense to START your coaching hunt only AFTER firing your current coach? The mad scramble that ensued left only two real choices who didn't have anything else going on, Jackson & D'Antoni. The rumor about interviewing Mike Dunleavy was insulting to all parties involved. Jackson was the obvious choice the minute he said he'd be in to coach. Whatever you have to throw him for compensation you do. You're all-in with this team, so bringing in D'Antoni made no sense. I'm not destroying Mike D'Antoni. I liked his teams and his style, but he's not Phil Jackson, NOBODY is Phil Jackson. Nobody has coached in the modern era like Phil Jackson. Whatever he wanted, he should have gotten. If it was to sucker punch Kobe everytime he made some dipshit face at a teammate or in anger, that should have been written in. ANYTHING to bring Phil Jackson in. Now poor Mike D has to constantly watch his back and sweat for an entire season that will be a failure if they don't bring the trophy back to L.A. I'm surprised he was OK with it knowing how awful this is going to be on him. May God have mercy on his soul for the press will not.
