My guess is that Phil was asking for a lot and that gave Jim the excuse he needed to look elsewhere. So it's probably on both.

Phil probably wanted to do that "No road games" BS, which no management in the world would agree to.

"I'll coach home games, no road ones though. Oh, and I'll coach in the playoffs too so I get all the credit if we win."

No thanks.

The real reason is that the Lakers felt the triangle just wasn't a good fit for the team.

Here that, DaRizzle?

If you want to argue that the triangle sucks by all means dig your own grave.
If you take what the Lakers say at face value about the reasoning by all means dig your own grave.

You're probably right

I'm going to merge this one with the other thread we have about D'Antoni being hired.

No thanks.

Yeah and I want to be the highest paid coach despite doing less work.

I trust PJ more than Mike but I still think we got an upgrade over Brown so I am ok with it.

Our Christmas Day game just got a little more interesting.

As far as McMillan, I am fine with hiring him, but I think people might be getting a little carried away.

Quote:

No team of McMillan’s has ever finished in the top half of the league in defensive efficiency (points allowed per possession). His teams didn’t allow that many points per game because they played at a painfully slow pace (which makes this another odd pairing with D’Antoni). His team’s career defensive numbers are barely better than D’Antoni’s when you break things down by possession.

Yep. I'm not sure how it could be spun any other way.

I have a feeling Jim and Bar Man thought this one up after a night of drinking.

Phil thing ran its course in LA. Triangle antiquated. Jackson's last Lakers team swept. His team with Kobe, Shaq, Mailman, Payton wilted.

Chris Broussard ‏@Chris_Broussard

Lakers felt only Kobe, Pau, MWP would've fit triangle, that offense too complex for others to learn on the fly & it not a good fit.
