Sam Amick @sam_amick
Can confirm D'Antoni news. From his agent, Warren LeGarie: "We've hit an insurmountable impasse & Mike will no longer be the Laker coach"
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Official: Mike D’Antoni has resigned as head coach of the Lakers. The search for a replacement will begin immediately.
unhinge that jaw kobe!
Lakers fans are dumb if they think replacing Mike with someone else would've made a difference last season or is going to change their fortunes next season.

We actually needed someone to make our scrubs over perform this season....I'm a bit let down.

Agreed. But the fans turned on him so this makes sense for the organization.

Is this supposed to make this news worse or something?

Any lakers fan worth their salt turned on him his first year when he had gasol roaming the three.

According to Bleacher Report’s Ric Bucher, the Lakers are supposedly interested in Scott because of his relationship with All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving:
At least one LA source believes that’s the direction (the Lakers) could go, primarily because of Scott’s relationship with Kyrie Irving,” Bucher said in the video.
According to Bucher, Scott and Irving “still text on a regular basis, and the relationship is very good.
Bucher though...
Uhh, didn't the Cavs universally quit on Scott last year?
I think every team Scott has coached has quit on him.

WoJ says Messina is a candidate, fuck this shit #NoBoylenanyone is better than scott.
i'd be ok with this.
fuck yes, i'd rather have no coach than an dan tonywelcome aboard Lkr
Woj is pushing Fisher for Laker coach, lol.
I'd like Thibs to come on over. Or a Van Gundy. Or Ollie or Hoiberg. Fine with Messina too.

No, but Antoni is a despicable human being so getting rid of him is a good move regardless.

Whoah, when did he get downgraded to 'despicable human being'?'
Fisher is only being pushed because of Jason Kidd getting a job right after he retired. Is old man Fisher even considering retiring?
Given the timing, I wonder if they're trying to quietly make a play for Kerr?
If Jeanie wants to cock block Phil there is a better way to do it.
If Jeanie wants to cock block Phil there is a better way to do it.I don't think Jeanie has any say in that. I could see Jim trying to cock block him though.

Just trying to make a joke dude.

According to Dave McMenamin from ESPN Los Angeles, the purple and gold “plan to reach out to the Chicago Bulls for permission to interview Tom Thibodeau.fuck yes. come to LA Tommy.
the baby bulls are done.
Is that really a good fit? If you thought D'antoni causes injuries with the way he runs his players...According to Dave McMenamin from ESPN Los Angeles, the purple and gold “plan to reach out to the Chicago Bulls for permission to interview Tom Thibodeau.fuck yes. come to LA Tommy.

kobe never believed in resting on the bench. he'd be ok playing 48mins under thibs.Is that really a good fit?

its like a match made in heaven.
It's not just playing players into the ground. It's his stubborn rotations and not changing shit when your team needs scoring. Phil was the master at knowing when to change shit around.
With Thibs, Old Snake would be Dead snake.
With Thibs, there wouldn't be a Laker bench. It'll just be the starting lineup.
Bad enough the Lakers had a D-League bench to begin with. At least they got to play with D'Antoni. LOL.
Woj is pushing Fisher for Laker coach, lol.
Lakers being stuck with Fisher again would be fucking awesome, it must happen

Players: "Coach we're down by 2! And there's only 4 seconds left. What do we do?"
Fisher: "Let me suit up quickly and chuck a 3"
Is it safe to assume the Bulls won't let Thibs speak with the Lakers? I highly doubt Reinsdorf will give him the opportunity to use this as a way to get a raise as well
