Haha. Apparently, the Lakers and their fans don't even think so.

For TJ to have a break out year, all we have to do is fire O'brien. Ford's numbers were way down last year simply because of O'brien's system. Without O'brien, TJ averages 16 and 8 easy...

...a better trade for O'brien's system than trading for Farmar would be TJ for Fisher, Bibby, or Calderon. Neither Ford nor Jack are a great fit for O'brien's system. TJ's and Jack's (to a lesser extent) ability to break down a defense is largely wasted due to O'brien's desire to have the point guard give up the ball early in the shot clock instead of trying to break down defenses and make plays. He needs a guy like Bibby, Fisher, or Calderon who's value comes from their ability to knock down the 3 late in the shot clock.



:clap:

Gold Star this is bang on. That weaving offense is terrible for a guy like Ford who is most effective with the ball in his hands and conversely least effective as a shooter.

O'Brien's system is the reason TJ struggled he needs to be probbing the defense and kicking it out to the open man.

Raps fan here, Toronto does not want him back but would package banks for TJ in a heart beat and flip him to another team for an asset - but would only do so after the Jack signing:)

Banks is garbage, so dont think he would be a good backup.
