The only way I see us bringing in D'Antoni is if the Buss' are hell bent on a more uptempo Showtime-esque offense. Which isn't too far of a stretch. So with that said, I'd be fine with D'Antoni ONLY if we bring in an assistant who has a track record of lock-down defense...and that end of the court is made just as much of a priority.

i feel the same way. fine with d'antoni...but ONLY if we handcuff him by acquiring a true defensive specialist as well.

Mike Dunleavy was on the Lakers' list before Mike Brown was hired and is expected to be a candidate again.

bringing d'antoni in would be just as bad as brown
this team is too old to run that type of offense, they'll be gassed midway through the game from all the running. i still think sloan is the perfect fit

Dwight wants Phil!
Dwight Howard has told the Los Angeles Lakers he wants them to bring back Phil Jackson as coach,’ a source close to the team tells SheridanHoops.com.
With the Lakers having fired Mike Brown earlier today, speculation is running rampant about who the next coach will be.
Jackson has been coach of the Lakers on two different occasions, and he remains romantically involved with Jeanie Buss, the daughter of Lakers owner Jerry Buss.
Buss’ son, Jim, is expected to be the person who makes the ultimate decision on who the next coach will be, and the source who spoke to SheridanHoops made it clear that Buss is aware of Howard’s wishes. It remains unclear if Jackson would be interested, but he retains a close relationship with Kobe Bruant and Pau Gasol — two of the players he coached in Los Angeles before leaving the team after the 2010-11 season.
