Jim Reign!! LA Lakers (In My Opinion)

 The Lakers hired Mike Brown as their new head coach. Brown is the former head coach of the Cavs & coached Lebron James. I have no problem with him. I have a problem with how he was hired. Nobody asked Kobe Bryant what he thought. I'm not saying that the Lakers should let Kobe pick their coach, but it seems silly to hire a coach & not ask your superstar player about the guy you are hiring. But that is what the Lakers did. Even though they know Kobe supported Lakers assistant Brian Shaw. Or to be fair Jim Buss the man in charge of the Lakers coaching & player personnel decided not to talk to Bryant.

  I don't know much about Jim Buss. I know he is the son of Jerry Buss, the owner of the Lakers. I know he is the man who drafted & supported Andrew "The Future is hurt" Bynum. And I know doesn't get along with former Lakers' coach Phil Jackson who is also the boyfriend of Jim's sister Jeanie Buss, head of the Lakers business side.And it is because of this that I am worried about the future of the Lakers.

  It seem to me from what I have read & seen that Jim Buss is trying to show "who's in charge". He didn't get along wit Coach Jackson so he hired a guy who many feel in the opposite of him. Source within the Lakers have said that Jim has said Bynum is untouchable in trade talks. Andrew Bynum embarrass the Laker organiztion & Dwight Howard might be traded soon. How can Bynum be untouchable. Lets not forget the the Lakers have been in the past offered Jason Kidd for Bynum & pieces & this were offered Melo for Bynum straght up & Jim Buss fought & said no.

 Something else which may or not be related Jerry West former Lakers executive & mentor to Kobe has left the team to go work for the Warriors. I'm not saying that he decided to "get out of dodge" but me thinks West knows something is wrong.

  This beings me back to Kobe, Jim has hired Mike Brown knowing that Bryant supported a Jackson assistant, Shaw. He supports Bynum who he thinks is the future, to the point of refusing All Stars in trades. Jerry West decided to join Golden State. Jim Buss want to prove he should be in charge. This tells me that Kobe Bryant's days as a Laker might be numbered! In My Opinion.
