Ahh, thanks for the info bro,...
Friends around here are saying one major key would be Steve Nash,
maganda nga daw ang chemistry ni SN at ni DAntoni, sana nga lang daw ay makuha ng ibang
superstar ang chemistry na ito, Lakers have all the positions covered somehow,
hindi nga lang big names, pero lahat daw nakikita mong gumagalaw na,...
One consideration why I think why they went D Antoni is Steve Nash. In Brown's system, Nash became a glorified version of Derek Fisher. And with the Triangle, that may happen too, though I think PhilJax is too smart to let that happen.
With D' Antoni though, he will let Nash do the work he does best. Will that alienate Kobe? I dont think so. He has reached the stage of his carreer where he is picking his spots now. Right now, he is performing at his most efficient level, shooting better than 50%FG, more than 40%3ptFG, and more than 90%FT(Steve NAsh territory, lol) . Will those hold up, averages say no. BUt with this lineup, he is not seeing the double teams he was subjected to the last two years. More clean looks, less forced shots.
Nash is the longest tenured player on the team. I think he is the only one under contract through the 2014-2015 season. Lakers deemed it wise to maximize those 3 years, so they went D'Antoni.
