Antonio Davis sounds soooo clueless about what the Lakers situation was on ESPN. Moron

Phil live in LA! I thought he was getting stoned and fishing in Montana!

I would make out with Diable if it meant Phil was coming in. And I picture Diable having a creepy moustache like Django Reinhardt.

Wilt the Stilt is going to be pretty upset... Lakers still have to pay Brown over 10 million I believe.. not good for the Buss wallet.

Mitch is on sports center right now.

From what he is saying, i think the coach will be either Phil or D'Antoni with a huge edge to Mike D'Antoni since Mitch just mention a little bit about Nash's involvement with the team.

I can't believe yall...as Laker fans...didn't see this (Phil) coming before the season even started.

Yeah, we're not as smart as you.

Now that I'm really thinking about it, 100% chance it's Mike D'Antoni because they need to also hire a coach that will be there for the long term for Dwight Howard to want to resign. If they do sign Phil it will most likely be a two year contract with the second year being Phil's decision and Howard may not want to resign being unsure of the future head coach.

A championship NOW is going to do more to convince Dwight to re sign than hiring dantoni.

Phil would be so incredible.

I thought about that too but if Phil wins a championship, Howard is going to want to play with Phil. What happens when Phil retires afterwards? Why would Dwight resign if the sole reason why he got a championship is gone?

I don't thnk dantoni presents Dwight a better option at all. He's not the type o.f coach that players choose their destination over. One or two years is a long time in the NBA.

Mike D'Antoni would be a bold and smart hire for the 1-4 Lakers after their surprising dismissal of coach Mike Brown on Friday.

It is a move that would pay off at both ends of the floor. D'Antoni has been telling friends for months that he looks forward to hiring a "defensive coordinator'' in some form (the exact title to be determined) the next time he becomes an NBA coach. In those conversations, D'Antoni has acknowledged that he allowed his prolific gains on offense to define his persona as a coach, creating an impression that he was indifferent to defense -- an impression that he has promised to change with his next head-coaching job. (The Lakers rank 22nd in defensive efficiency.)

D'Antoni has long insisted that he has cared about defense, but that he lacked defensive-minded players in Phoenix during the Suns' run of four straight seasons of 54 wins or more through 2007-08. The weakness of players who could excel at both ends of the floor was affirmed when the Suns tried and failed to emphasize defense by hiring Terry Porter to replace D'Antoni. Porter went 28-23 in 2008-09 before the Suns replaced him at midseason with Alvin Gentry, who restored much of D'Antoni's system, guiding the Suns back to a 54-win season on their way to the 2010 Western Conference finals.

[Ben Golliver: Firing Brown an easy decision for Lakers]

If D'Antoni was stubborn in the past about suggestions from management to change his coaching staff, his views have changed. Friends say he will tell his next employer that he will make defense a priority, much as he began to do in New York last season after the Knicks acquired center Tyson Chandler. D'Antoni wound up resigning from the Knicks after 42 games -- roughly two-thirds of the season -- as Chandler went on to be recognized as the NBA Defensive Player of the Year.
