Lakers' Jim Buss Regrets Not Contacting Kobe Bryant Before Hiring Mike Brown - SBNation.com
Something's up. Nobody could be stupid enough not to consult with their mature, workaholic, franchise player prior to hiring a new head coach, especially after poor chemistry broke up the nearly unstoppable nucleus of Kobe and Shaq. My guess is that management knows that Jackson's shoes will be hard to fill and whoever they choose is likely to fail. Because Kobe was not part if the decision, they have an easily available scapegoat for quickly firing Brown - Kobe doesn't like him. This explanation protects their egos by providing the explanation that the made a good decision for coach, but damn picky, irrational, Kobe just isn't happy. I think this spin if used will backfire because they should have discussed the hiring with Kobe and not doing so is a more obvious error than hiring any qualified coach, such as Brown.
