mal abwarten. die wahl finde ich im ersten moment gar nicht so schlecht. bin gespannt wer jetzt die assistent posten übernimmt, dann kann man das ganze besser beurteilen.
mike brown? god no... das ist mal ne absolute horror botschaft.. wie soll das denn was werden.
er hat schon in cleveland unter beweis gestellt, wie gut er coachen kann.. not.
Messina?
Das waere ja der Hammer, ich haette nie gedacht das der als Assistant Coach in die NBA kommt. Purple and Gold hat halt weltweite Anziehungskraft
Who is Ettore Messina for you – a colleague, a pupil, a teacher, a friend?
- All of the above. He is a friend first. Definitely a teacher. He is a man I really respect on the floor and off the floor. I’d learned a lot from him watching his practices and talking to him about the game of basketball. Terrific coach.
falls der kommen sollte hat das weniger mit LA zu tun sondern mehr mit Mike Brown.
Also ich weiss nicht recht was ich von Brown halten soll. Mir kam er ehrlich gesagt zu den Cavs Zeiten viel zu "soft" rueber, liess James immer freie Hand und hatte was die Offensive betrifft doch kaum was zu bieten. Entscheidend duerfte sein wie er mit Kobe klar kommt.
Even more troublesome is Brown’s easy-going way of relating to his players – so easy-going that he’s a pushover. If Phil Jackson, with his overflowing handful of championship rings, had great difficulty controlling Kobe, the ringless Brown will be eaten alive by Bryant. Especially since Kobe’s frustrations will mount as his rapidly approaching 33rd birthday will make it increasingly obvious that he is losing his edge. And how will Brown deal with Kobe three years hence when the 36-year-old will be making $30.5 million?
Why then was Brown hired?
Only because Jerry Buss’s Number One son is calling the shots – and Jimmy can’t differentiate between an X and an O. In fact, Jimmy’s only handle on the game is the study of, and total belief in, statistics. According to him, a player who averages 25 points per game is 25 percent better than one who scores 20 ppg. It matters not to Jimmy when nor how these points are scored.

Pisani notes Messina will serve as "consultant to the head coach" in a full-time position.
It would seem Messina will help Brown in a similar capacity that Tex Winter served former Laker Coach Phil Jackson.
Brian Shaw was one of three people the Lakers said they interviewed for the coaching job, and the only one who was part of the Lakers family as an assistant coach. Yet as of Friday afternoon, 10 days after they decided to hire Mike Brown, Shaw still had not heard from them.
"It's a little strange, going from 11 years and five championships to essentially being out on the street," Shaw said in a phone interview Friday. "But I can feel good knowing that I did everything possible to represent the Laker organization as well as I could."
A loyal employee even to this strange end, Shaw would not comment on any details of his Lakers situation. He said he had been avoiding media interviews until I phoned him, and was reluctant to speak in anything but general terms.
"I have always held the Lakers in high standing, and I'm not going to change that now," he said.
