Los Angeles Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said the decision to hire Mike D'Antoni instead of Phil Jackson didn't come down to money, demands over personnel control or travel restrictions, it came down to basketball reason. D'Antoni was hired for the job for a variety of reasons, primarily his offense was considered a better fit for the Lakers' current roster than Jackson's Triangle offense.
Kupchak : “Knowing his style of play and given the current make-up of our roster, we feel Mike is a great fit to us"
