Mike Brown Back In Cleveland? Are You Sure About That?

Mike Brown has an impressive win percentage of .653 in his seven year head coaching career in the NBA. His 314-167 record is due to his 5 years coaching the Cleveland Cavaliers, more importantly, coaching LeBron James. He is a familiar face for Cavs fans and is good with Dan Gilbert, so I can see why bring him back, but the circumstances around his release from the Cavs and Lakers should raise concern for Cavs Fans.

Mike Brown out as Lakers head coach

Los Angeles - The Lakers organization as decided to part ways with Mike Brown after starting their blockbuster season 1-4. During last night's game, Kobe Bryant gave his then coach the "death stare", but he did later describe it more as frustration than anger.

Sitting in Brown's pregame press conference before the season opener against the Mavs, everyone looked puzzled when he said that he did not expect the team to really start to gel until January. Maybe he did not realize he was coaching in LA, not Cleveland.

Would Phil Jackson come back to coach Lakers with Howard, Paul and Bryant?

Phil Jackson has accomplished enough to retire forever from the game of basketball. But, doesn't the idea of having Dwight Howard and Chris Paul change his mind? Phil has had the luxury of coaching the best players in the NBA during their peak. From Michael and Scottie, to Kobe and Shaq, and even Kobe and Gasol have all been champions with Phil. You have to imagine that the idea of another pairing of Chris Paul and Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant could arguably be the most talented team Phil could coach.

If you are the Lakers organization then you have to be on board with Jackson returning. Gutting the team for Paul and Howard is an all in move. If your going all in then go with a proven coach, not Mike Brown. Phil could only coach the home games and the playoffs if health is an issue. Phil ultimately will have the final decision. If he wants to come back nothing could really stop him. Is Dr. Buss really going to tell Phil Jackson and Laker Nation that Mike Brown is better?
