NBA lottery pick
Re: Sources: Lakers hire Mike D'Antoni
I think i am ok with the Mike D'Antoni signing.
Phil reached and thought the lakers were freaking needy to go to him and Dr Buss B1tch slapped him. I trust Dr Jerry Buss, Mitch & Jim buss(after this summer) more now then last year
Phil Wanted:
Stake in ownership or 10-12 mil
wanted to coach only home games
wanted to have a say in personal moves the lakers were making.
basically Phil wanted Jim/Mitch to hand him the key to the franchise. Which i say Fcuk NO.
Mike D is talking about bringing Nate Mcmilan as his top assistant and planning on retaining Chuck P & Steve Clifford. Which is a good idea
I would like to see this before giving my opinion on this.
I trust in Jerry Buss.

The biggest downside of this hire is that my buddy DK is going to gripe, whine and bitch about it the entire season! In DK's words:
hahahahahaha Just joking DK.
I'm leaving town tomorrow until Xmas so I won't be able to check in as often. DK, I suspect upon hearing this news that you will be saddened but do try and get along without me. Have a great Thanksgiving guys!
LMAO...that was pretty funny
See, I like this Mr.Sax much better
Have a very Happy Thanksgiving

Re: Sources: Lakers hire Mike D'Antoni
I was really bummed to read this new this morning. I really would've liked McMillan to be the head coach and for D'antoni to be the assistant, but it looks like it will be the other way around. If we land McMillan too, it won't be so bad. I just don't see what the Lakers management is thinking when they are hiring coaches.

This is interesting....
Peter Vecsey: How surprised were Jackson's people? Agent Brian Musberger was on Chicago-2-LA plane 2 negotiate w Lakers re contract when D'A was hired. Twitter @PeterVecsey1

Many Lakers fan are stunned.
They didn't even bother negotiate to curb Phil's requests. This is still about anti-Phil.
If this turn out to be another failure experiment and wasted this year or next. Definitely Phil won't be coming back to answer them.
If I were Phil now, I probably take other team offers then Lakers won't be having the last laugh and D'Antoni won't be having smooth sailing either.
I think this experiment will fail again.
7 seconds or less won't work. It didn't work with Carmelo. It probably won't with Kobe too.
If Kobe became Carmelo, what can DAntoni do? Quit again?
Kobe and Nash don't have fresh legs anymore. Even if they could, they probably won't have much energy near the end of the game.
7 seconds or less system could get Nash hurt 7 seconds or less.
Dwight Defensive strength will probably get rusty overtime
You don't have that many sharp shooter on the current roster
DAntoni couldn't handle 1 mega stars, how can he handle 3 more?
DAntoni himself is sensitive to criticism when he should be neutral to it.
If this whole thing fail, they will lose a number amount of Lakers fans.

Defensive rating is more important than opponent ppg..
And even in opponent ppg they weren't 4th last..

Doesn't matter what you say, this crap is going to fail just as Mike Brown did, I was 100% correct then and have not an ounce of doubt that I am correct again......everyone knows his system will never work in the NBA playoffs.
The playoffs are about defense, rebounding and halfcourt offense......'Antoni is terrible at all of these.

It is Stephen A Smith after all, never one to be shy about bending the facts to make his points. Arguing with Skip Bayless overtime will do that to you

Maybe so, but there is a point to calling you and Stephen A out when trying to sell people on stats that are simply not true.
