What is the deal with this. Seems pretty childishEd Hillel said:Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson 27m
Happy days are here again! Mike D'Antoni resigns as the Lakers coach. I couldn't be happier!
Maybe because D'Antoni was a terrible coach. He probably deserved to get fired more than resign.luckiestman said:What is the deal with this. Seems pretty childish

no… Now that DS is out of the picture, most here say that everyone is staying with the LAC, If DS was not punished enough, then perhaps, but not anymorejose melendez said:So are we going to see this set so that pretty much everyone good for the Clippers plus Doc go to the Lakers?
Bernie Carbohydrate said:Great clip for Laker-hating. Kareem misses a 15-foot hookshot, Magic whining to the refs, Rambis with a goal tend, Floyd slicing past AC Green over and over for layups, Joe Barry Carroll setting huge picks (and hitting a sweet baseline jumper)....

Wouldn't it make more sense for Ollie to go to LA, use cap space next summer for say Love then the following year once Kobe's deal comes off the books Ollie can then reunite with his best buddy Durant in LA as a FA?Kliq said:
I would love to see Cal go to the Lakers. Is there any other coach who could make that team more unlikeable? Ollie, if he is interested in going to the NBA right now, is probably waiting for Brooks to get fired if OKC gets bounced by Memphis.
Tony C said:makes sense from his pov that he wouldn't want to be a lame duck.
I don't think LA would have ever taken him back. They likely gave D'Assholi the opportunity to resign to save face in exchange for paying him an undisclosed amount to walk away. For D'Ass he doesn't have to add another 25-win season to his resume plus go through what would have surely been hell.Tony C said:It speaks to the dysfunction of the Lakers that they were willing to have D'Antoni come back for a year, but not commit to him beyond that. I think they lucked out with him moving on, though makes sense from his pov that he wouldn't want to be a lame duck.
Teams are going to look at Ollie knowing his relationship with Durant and hoping he can lure KD with him once he finishes his deal in OKC. You better believe LA is thinking this.Kliq said:
