After firing mismatch coach Mike Brown on Friday, the Lakers went ahead and hire former Suns and Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni. The move no doubt will turn the Lakers around in the right direction. Their offense still still lethal on paper and will be on the floor once D'Antoni hits the hardwood. Are they championship worthy, I still say no. This is a coach who is geared offensively rather than defensively. With the defensive holes the Lakers have at certain positions, mostly from their bench, I believe the farthiest they will go is the second round of the WC playoffs.
