My take on this whole mess -- Jim Buss might have ruined the franchise for the next decade by not hiring Rick Adelman last year.

There were all kinds of sources back in May 2011 saying that there was "interest" in Adelman. Rumor has it that Mitch wanted Rick, but Jim wanted Mike Brown.

With Adelman as HC, there's no drama and LA is a perennial contender.

Now, the team is a circus and a joke.

Good luck with that, LA. What's the over/under on Kobe's first meltdown?
