Is it safe to say that Mike Brown was a bad hire?
Mmmm not really when considering they got swept in the 2nd round with phil jackson and a bettter roster last season
He was the best option they had at the time. Brown is a decent guy and nice man and a fair coach.
That said....
He is NOT the type of high profile championship winning coach the Fakers are used to. So ultimately ...he was a bad hire. His tenure will be short lived . The Laker fans are TOO impatient for somebody like Mike.
If there is not a drastic improvment in the first half of the season ...Mike might not last the whole year.
If Howard doesn't get traded to the Lakers , then I could see SVG possibly taking over there .
The LAkers year will probally end next year with Brown fired and Pau or Bynum one or both traded. ..to gain other FA's and draft picks.
The Kobe era is in danger of slipping away no more banners. , unless
radical moves are made. Once he is gone La 's next move will be to get James (should Heat fail to get him rings)
