Mike Brown???

As you all know, the Lakers are in need of a coach after Phil Jackson's exit. 

It's looking like Mike Brown is gonna be the next head coach...if so, then the Lakers are doomed.  If you watched him coach Cleveland for 5 years, you'd know he's a fan of a coach and he's never really been good at drawing up plays.

Positives- Young, player's coach...will bring more energy and less zen. He's a defensive minded coach from the years of working for Coach Popovich...problem is but the Lakers don't have a big defensive problem...they've fallen off of their high horse and they need a change in philosophy, some youth and athleticism and a coach that the veterans can respect and depend on. 

In the words of Jay-Z "When you're use to Filet-Mignon it's kinda hard to go back to Hamburger Helper."

That's what this is.  You can't replace a legend with a novice.  How is Mike Brown suppose to motivate these players?  Unless a major trade happens this would be a disaster.  He should coach a young team that needs discipline and direction like the Kings, Warriors or Pacers.  Those teams would respond well to him and probably even make a playoff appearance or two.

The Lakers want greatness again.  They just got swept by a veteran Mavs team and got embarassed.  Kobe called it a "wasted year", I'm sure he'll be even more excited about next year when he reads the LA Times tomorrow and sees Mike Brown on the cover..

Guess we'll have to wait and see. 

Good luck LA!  Get ready for 3-5 years of being a little bit above fair.


***I take all of this back if they trade for Dwight Howard...I'm just sayin
