its been known since the season ended that only his brother was going to be brought back. happy that brown's coaches got to finish the season, but also happy that d'antoni gets to bring in his own people now. always good for a head coach to be able to do that.

Gentry chooses to join Doc over MDA....anyone else getting a little nervous about the lack of assistants signing with the Lakers under MDA? Feeling a lot of negative energy. Like they know they won't last long....

im not really sure what assistants u are referring to besides gentry who already had a very positive pre-existing relationship with the clips. who's turned down the lakers?
@KevinDing: Here's a new one: Clippers outbid Lakers so far in $ that it was an easy decision for Alvin Gentry to join Doc Rivers over D'Antoni.
