Both teams have title-contending talent and are coached by Mike Brown and Vinny Del Negro. 50-16 and 16-50 are in play for either team.
While both are bad, I think VDN is actually a better coach than Brown and will work better with the Clippers guys. I think Kobe and Brown are going to have issues all year long. Kobe may have him killed by Valentines day. The Lakers would be better off to just name Kobe player/coach.
Mike Brown is definitely a lot more hands on. Overall that might be much worse for the Lakers than the half dozen or so games VDN's in game coaching will cost the Clips.
I'd love to see the Clips add a legitimate All-Star caliber swingman next offseason and then hire Phil Jackson.
