Mike D'Antoni has resigned as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers | SI.com

They don't have to. It's not like Lakers are a team that has patterns on O and D or set plays. It's just a franchise mostly, that pays the big bucks to the stars and free them to the playground.

They had patterns with Phil.

Howard left because he didn't like the patterns he had to follow. He didn't like the PnR.

Just a couple of thoughts.

Messina hasn't been mentioned in connection with the Lakers. The names being bandied about include Kevin Ollie, George Karl, Jeff Van Gundy, Byron Scott, etc.

I read another piece on insider which did name him as a canidate and that Kobe is very fond of him

 

[MoTappin]

I highly doubt the Lakers are going to hire some coach from overseas. I know he was there as an assistant, but the Lakers way requires that not only it be a "good" coach, but a big name coach. If the Lakers hire Messina I'll be shocked.

Good point.

anybody mentioned steve kerr? he would run triangle and let kobe be kobe.

People really think Kobe and Gasol will listen to Fisher as a HC?

I'm not buying.

The Lakers didn't consider Kobe's feelings 3 years ago (or whenever it was) when they didn't hire Brian Shaw. Don't think they will give a **** what he says now that he is really falling off.

He has been mentioned because he was an assistant there a year. Pretty much anything you here right now from any team is just going to be rumors based on ties/associations people in the media perceive/now of.

Lol the Lakers have demised horribly since the passing of Buss. Im on the whim to believe the Lakers might be in the hole for a couple of years like Chicago was in 99- thru the early 2000s.

It would make my day if the Lakers hired Corbin lmfaoo

****. That would be so good.

Also, as a player why would you WANT to go to the lakers? Bryant is essentially done, Jim Buss is at the helm and their roster is full of garbage.
