Lkr Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 The Lakers are at a crossroads. They're either a game away from finally meeting the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals, or a game away from the end of their season. Should the Lakers lose Saturday in Game 7 of their first-round series against the Denver Nuggets, Magic Johnson has a definite idea on what will happen next. "They're going to run Mike Brown first out of town," Johnson said as an ESPN NBA analyst Friday. "Then second will be [Andrew] Bynum. Then third will be [Pau] Gasol." Whether that will happen remains unclear. The Lakers' front office has publicly praised Brown's performance as head coach in his first season. Brown, who makes an average of $4.5 million a year, has two more guaranteed years followed by a team option. The Times' Mike Bresnahan talked to Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak, who indicated in March his intention to exercise the $16.1-million option for the last year of Bynum's contract. Gasol had been the subject of endless trade rumors since the Lakers' attempt to trade him for Chris Paul. The Lakers forward is owed $38.3 million for the next two seasons.http://www.latimes.com/sports/lakersnow/la-sp-ln-la-magic-johnson-mike-brown-will-be-fired-if-lakers-lose-game-7-to-denver-20120511,0,5236483.story tank for Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
