I think so.

Lakers have something up their sleeves. No way they fire Brown so soon without a clear direction.

**Basel** · 11-09-2012, 10:49 AM

That's the one thing about Sloan that worries. The game might have passed him by and I don't know if he could coexist with the players on this team if he couldn't do it with Deron Williams in Utah.

Brown was just too nice. He just sits there. No intensity, didn't get on anyone's case about any mistakes. That's why Bynum didn't respect him, he was too soft. Pau shooting threes yet, when Bynum does, its a federal crime. Cut back Kobe's mins ? He played 37 last game.

And he just rode Artest way too long. Go 1/10 ? No problem ,you'll get 30 mins tomorrow. They need youth and shooting. Meeks does both yet, he didn't even play last game.

You want to coach a team like this. You have to be an asshole and Brown was too friendly.

**Seuss** · 11-09-2012, 10:55 AM

The only way they bring in D'Antoni is if Kobe gives the thumbs up. And I just think he might . . .

You mean, like selecting Brown over Adelman?

Come on. This team has made TONS of mistakes, they aren't infallible.

Especially Jimmy-boy. As long as he is calling the shots, I will be forever dubious.

**Jamel Irief** · 11-09-2012, 11:13 AM

Well I hope Phil is coming in. Not sure how promoting one of Browns assistants improves the team, or bringing in a foreign coach to a team that already has little court time together.

This just feels like a move to bring Phil back to me. Totally purely speculation, but that is what it feels like.

Brown just isn't a leader. He is a manager, and that doesn't work for a championship aspiring team. Leaders get their players to play with a sense of urgency, something Brown has never been able to do.

And hiring Adelman, what offense would they be running ?

Jordan was his assistant and he's already there. I don't think that would help.

D'Antoni sounds like a possibility, Kobe and Nash definitely would approve.

The One · 11-09-2012, 11:34 AM

I think Mike D'Antoni will be the coach. At least we will be fun to watch.

HAPPY DAY!!!

One note for everyone. Jackson's entire staff outside of Shaw, are sitting at home with nothing to do.

DaRizzle · 11-09-2012, 11:46 AM

Bill Plastkie (sp) just said that when Brown came in to interview for the job that Jimmy Buss left the meeting before it was even over and decided that Brown was gonna be coach.....wtf

...I think Jimmy has taken some lumps and is slowly wising up....i pray
