I agree with Moore on the Mike Brown thing to a point: I don’t think Brown is the biggest issue facing the team–roster issues and cap space are–but he is an issue.

Given the roster continuity the Lakers will (be forced to) have, if there is a season, we may be looking back in April and saying, “They should have just hired Brian Shaw.”

As to PBT’s endless fascination with LeBron James’ public image, the year he had from June 2010 to June 2011 will always be part of it. But as we have seen with Kobe Bryant, things can change inb that regard. James needs to be smarter about what he says in public, and obviously, he needs to wi 2 or 3 championships, and have some big moments in money time that will stick in the media’s minds.
