Love seeing the Fakers struggle.
Let the Kardashians coach 'em.

^^^^ I love it also.
The NBA is a players league. There are a small handful of NBA coaches with true power.

I love how you lose at one place in the NBA...and then get a new job a year or two later.
The NBA loves a proven loser.

I do feel like Mike Brown is a poor coach but this seems like a move of desperation. I imagine with more time the team would gel no matter who the coach is.
I don't know that there is a sport in which the coach is less valuable than NBA basketball.

Mike Brown cannot coach offense. Especially when he needs to be crative with so many players needing the ball

Lakers ownership made clear that buying out the remaining three years on Brown's original $18 million, four-year contract wasn't an obstacle to making a coaching change.
Poor Mike. He get $13.5 million to not work.

No, America is....because they don't get to witness Kobe and his Fakers implode.

Rays Joe Maddon is very important to that franchise, but generally I would have to agree.

So much for the "vote of confidence" he got yesterday from Buss. As usual, that is the kiss of death.

The coach is not as important in basketball as in football (not sure about baseball), but as a Heat fan, I'm hoping the Lakers don't bring back Phil!
Maybe more importantly, as someone who respects Kobe as a great player but doesn't think he belongs anywhere near discussions about GOAT players, I hope they don't find a coach that can help get these Lakers to a championship. The whole "Kobe won 6 rings" thing and the inevitable comparisons to Jordan would be torture. And, I'm sure I'd hear them the rest of my life

IMO basketball coaching at the NBA level is 80% keeping egos in check and 20% actual coaching. There is no other sport where all star players can dominate like bball.
