They could of. But then you'd have to pay his whole salary PLUS the salary of the next coach you hire. So they were obviously going to just allow him to coach that last year on his contract while Nash finishes his out to, then start fresh in 2015 with great salary space.
I can't believe I'm even explaining this to fellow Laker fans.
C'mon dudes you know Jim didn't want him anymore. He didn't have to negotiate a buy out. He could of forced MDA to resign and lose all his remaining money. He gave him a cheaper check to just leave. I don't get the confusion

Kerr believed the Suns needed more D and ****** the team up trying to do it. But he reversed his mistakes nicely, too

I haven't seen a mass disagreement of a coach's firing like this since?

I read an article about him that sold me on him being the Knicks next coach. Basically it summed up...
1. He was coached by great coaches
2. He combines analytics with system X and O basketball.
We dont need a motivational and inspiirational speaker like Mark Jackson. We need an X and O system coach with a great teacher showing him the ways (Phil).
Mark should coach the Jazz though.

We knew that Jim & co didn't want him anymore for sure, or we're just assuming? (Legit asking I may have missed some quotes when he resigned)
As I see it the Lakers wanted him back, but didn't want to guarantee anything more than a year. Trial period again. Help with the rebuild, BUT we'll see how the team likes you before we pick up your option
I thought the line of thinking that they didn't pick up his option to force him out = just fans assuming, because they wanted him out all along

Bittersweet that Jackson is gone. But lacob had his heart set out on it.
If we hire : dantoni, van gundy, kerr, izzo... None of this disagreement will matter.

3.7 boards compared to Gordon's 3
Gordon had a higher assist rate. Their per game numbers were close both in the 3 range just like the rebounding.
So going off those 2 points, the gap between the 2 in those areas is negligible.
And you said the differences go on and on, but you didn't list them.
Please do.
So what? I'm strictly comparing their playing styles as of right now. The way Beal plays right now, May 6 2014, is similar to how Gordon played in Chicago. Period
Beal is better w/ the rock. He's a better rebounder. He's better on defense. He has a better knack for getting others involved....The ceiling is 100x higher than it ever was for Ben Gordon.
As someone who has seen Ben Gordon play in person both at UConn and in the NBA, I don't get or see the comparison.

Really? After the job Hornacek did this year? I think Jeff deserves a chance to build on what he did this last season.

DJs, Ben Gordon was actually very good for a few years in Chicago, and he was clutch as hell too, similar to what we're seeing from BB. I used to watch the Bulls all the time because we got WGN in our area. Very skilled 2-guard3.7 boards compared to Gordon's 3

What held him back imo was he was kind of selfish, he would get his numbers but wouldn't elevate anyone else's play. Beal might have ended up like Gordon if he went to the wrong team, but with the chemistry he's developing here with Wall I think he's gonna be on another level.
People don't realize that a lot of guys have the talent to be great, it's the attitude and work ethic that holds most back.
