Mike D'Antoni signed a four-year deal with the Lakers. Phil Jackson was "asking for the moon," accoring to source familiar w/ the situation.

Wasn't Brown the coach last year?

Lakers go with Mike D'Antoni over the Zen Master. Wow.
This makes it seem as if Phil wanted the job and the Lakers didnt give it to him. Is that the case? That cant be the case, right?

jackson who?
Posted on 11/12/12 at 3:23 am to Woopigsooie20
No joke. Didn't even give Brown a full chance IMO
Posted on 11/12/12 at 3:28 am to jturn17
Wow, if Phil Jackson asks for the moon, you give him the moon
Posted on 11/12/12 at 3:36 am to jturn17
So just how exactly will D'Antoni help the Lakers' defensive struggles?

I dunno, there are limits. What was all that talk about travel restrictions? If he didn't want to travel with the team that would be a problem for me. But...D'Antoni? Should be interesting

The players were bitching about Brown, especially the superstar...this lead to his firing. He wasn't given a fair shake.

D'Antoni and Kobe can practice their Italian together and reminisce with Steve Nash about their previous failures.
Posted on 11/12/12 at 5:24 am to jturn17
Lakers 2-0 since ditching Mike Brown 
Posted on 11/12/12 at 5:50 am to 7thWardTiger
Phil wanted complete control of personnel, tons of money, not travel to away games and only a 1 year commitment.
Money wasn't an issue but they wanted more than a 1 year deal and weren't too excited with him not traveling to away games.

absolutely absurd, especially not going to away games.

not travel to away games
