Mike D'Antoni

The Lakers hire Mike D’Antoni as their new head coach.


In an unexpected twist, ESPNLA.com is reporting the Lakers have hired Mike D’Antoni, not Phil Jackson, to be their next head coach.

From all accounts Phil was just “asking for the moon” and the Lakers were unable to come to an agreement with him.

According to ESPN.com, the Lakers have fired head coach Mike Brown, after the Lakers’ Western Conference worst start at 1-4.

No word on a permanent replacement, but word is assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff will coach the team in the interim. The Lakers start a six-game homestand at Staples Center tonight against the Golden St. Warriors.
