I'm no longer a Laker fan.

OMG....bad move by Lakers

[JOHON8]

The end of the Lakers dynasty has begun.

[suicidekings]

Why would you take Brown over Adelman?...

[ShogunRua]

Lakers were done anyways. But I must say, what a horrible decision.

[onlooker]

He did have 60+ win seasons. Great winning percentage. This with Lebron and scrubs.

Lakers should be fine.

[GroundnPound]

Instead of running isolation plays for lebron he can run them for luke walton

The Lakers will always rebound. Curious choice though. I have to think that this is the first of many upcoming changes in the Laker team. I can't see the current Laker squad having a good working relationship with Brown after so many years of it being Phil's team. They're going to have an interesting off-season.

Shaw > Mike Brown

[ex50warrior]

Hmm, thought Shaw was going to get the job. Guess that means we've seen the last of the Triangle Offense.

[Whippit]

from triangle to wrecktangle

[Borat38]

The only person who could do a worse job of coaching LAL would be Ron Artest.

[HoulihansTX]

As Laker hater, this could not be better news.

[EBDOGGN]

Wouldn't one think that shaw has a better understanding of this team?

[upscope]

Kobe coaches the lakers....c'mon

[scholesy]

curious to see which assistants he's gonna bring..they are going to be the ones doing the coaching lol

[Joszan7]

Interesting decision, to say the least.

[lyon804]

Why would you take Brown over Adelman?...

My thoughts exactly. Mike Brown is not a strong communicator and that won't fly in LA.

[vyomguy]

How long have you been a heat fan? Since July 2010? You make all real fans puke...go kill yourself and make the world a better place

You have some serious issues dude...take a chill pill.....and I am not a heat fan.

[Dexter]

lol

[BrigadierPudding]

Terrible hire. Brown was clueless in Cleveland.

[crustyme]

Lakers just hired Mike Brown....

4 years $18.25 million.

[William Walters]

Looking forward to all the haters. I'll be bumping this thread quite a few times next season.

BTW........I understand the hate toward my beloved Lakers. When a team makes 50% of the finals and wins 33 of the titles in the Buss era..........well............haters gonna hate.

[EDDIE MONEY LINE]

I think Mike Brown is a good coach...I'm surprised they didn't hire Brian Shaw tho...thats kinda fukd up...Kobe must've wanted Brown

[Brock Landers]

just proves the NBA coach is little more than a baby sitter. If this fukking guy can coach the lakers, anyone can

[crustyme]

reports are kobe was against it but buss' son made the call anyways.

[Preston09]

Shaw got screwed! Mike Brown is a joke of a coach.

[King Mayan]

Fukk me.

[romecloneout]

still dont know about the hire...will be interesting to see if brown can coash in la and handle that city

[Whippit]

Cavs organization is a joke, look at the jerry mcguire kid selecting their live draft picks

I give Brown credit for taking Cleveland to conference finals

meanwhile Shaw has no experience and did nothing to prevent the Dallas trainwreck when he had the chance

finally, word on the street is Mike Brown graduated the Dale Carnegie course and is now ready to coach a real team
