Let me make sure I understand this... The Lakers would be better if they got rid of one of the best players in the game.

Makes sense.

The Lakers would be better if their FO was competent enough to make sure they hired a coach who fits the makeup of the team.

You go from hiring Mike Brown, one of the most inept coaches in the league, to becoming one of the oldest teams in the league, to hiring a coach who doesn't understand half court basketball.
