Messina wants to be an NBA coach. But he also "gets it" that he'll have to do a few years as an assistant too. From what I've read, this is why he quit Real. Not sure that it was his failure at Real, or Real's failure of buying into a system that required some humility on their part.

Despite my misgivings on Brown (and there are heaps), I like the way he's started. Approaching Messina and Grgurich is smart. He lands those guys and keeps Persons, it gives him immediate cachet.

Don't shoot the messenger - I'm just saying what's been said in the US in the media.
I do know that regardless of where you think the blame lies in the Real fiasco, he's perhaps the most highly-regarded coach outside the NBA, by the NBA. And considered to be the most suitable non-NBA coach for the NBA.


Anyway i think there going to be too many changes for the lakers to compete for the ring next year.

Not sure what you mean by this...

getting back on topic

Okay, I think the West will probably be the Lakers...I guess OKC or San Antonio could upset them. Dallas just never seems to go anywhere in the post season.

The East is a little trickier. Chicago, Boston, Miami and Orlando are all worthy teams...not sure if Chicago is ready or Boston is the same without Perkins...Orlando would have to defeat two of these teams on the road...probably not? Does that leave me with Miami?


you predicted the east quite well:)

In your defense, the West turned out to be very much fun with Memphis and OKC, and i don't think anyone could have predicted that. However, SA was very predictable, and Dallas is always a gamble(unfortunately for Mavs fans)
