If you guys wait, Brandon Jennings is most likely willing to come if there's an opening at the PG position. Deron will most likely resign with the Nets.
NobleKane:
didn't nobody want freakin mike brown in the first place!
EXACTLY my point. Y'all never gave him a fair chance. It ain't like he came in and you guys were open then he effed up. Nah, he came into a situation where he was hated on before he even had his own Laker office. And you guys can SAY he would have won you over if we won it all this year, but... more on that in a sec.NobleKane:
laker fans bashing this clown mike brown whne he was in cleveland now treating him like hes some legendary head coach??? that dont even make sense.
What doesn't make sense is all this 'legendary coach' crap.In every Laker thread, you won't be able to find a half dozen responses where someone makes a statement that would suggest the author thinks MB is legendary.
We just recognize that he's DEFINITELY fighting an uphill battle, and doing alright at it. Perfect? Nope. Terrible? Nope (even though you guys have lost perspective of what 'terrible' is and you would call him terrible). Legendary? Nope.NobleKane:
dude should have never been hired in the first place.
Well he was.NobleKane:
buss just got him cuz he was cheap
So who were the other more expensive options that Buss turned down? I'll wait for you to wait for someone else to answer this so you can cosign their answer.NobleKane:
this guy should have NO ROOM for mess ups.
Exaaaaaaaactly; perfectionist expectations. And THAT'S why y'all would NOT give him credit even if we would have won it all. You can SAY that you would have all been like "Ok, ok, I was wrong. Thanks for #17, Mike!", but whenever someone has perfectionist expectations, THEY SIMPLY CANNOT BE PLEASED. Period. You guys would have been saying things like "I mean, it's really a testament to Kobe's greatness that he won #6 w/ THAT guy as a coach."NobleKane:
You aint get the job done bye bye. this aint the kings organization here its the lakers. rich in history.
Straight out of CP's replies.

Brown gets knocked out in 08 in a tough series, pass given
Brown has HC, knocked out by Orlando and was supremely outcoached, had ZERO adjustments even tho the Magic beat them the same God damn way each freaking game. Pass
Brown has HC AGAIN, knocked out by the Celts again, oh look, a pass shall be given.
Brown joins LA, we make up 157 excuses, pass is given.
But hey, this is alllllllllllllll in my head. NONE of this I just typed actually happened. No it most certainly did not. Mike Brown was a success in every one of those years/series. 5 playoff runs, knocked out each time with plenty of coaching issues to be shown. ALL of it his fault? No, course not. Pretty obvious he is a disadvatage when it gets real? Yep, clear as %+%!$*@ day. But hey, here's a pass, come back and waste another year. Thx.
We almost lost in the first round to a team of complete boneheads, even while we were up. Our team had trouble finishing games, possibly due to their legs being gone? I guess those 45 minute nights in February didn't do anything for us. I'm making this up.
In the second of a back to back, IN THE PLAYOFFS, we went with a 7 man rotation.
On our bench we have a bunch of kids that could run for 5 years without getting tired, did we prepare them in ANY way during the season for action? Bet your *@% we didn't. Nope. We sat Ebanks, and Goudelock all damn year long, ya know, cuz they didn't flash in the 4 minutes there were given, and that's PLENTY of time to shine thru as a player. You betcha.
But yeah, we'll just hand that pass over, and wait patiently while our best players get even older. We have all the time in the world, yes we sure do.
But yes, we're the ones not getting it. I know.
