Mike Brown Fired by the Lakers, His Agent Says
By Jason McIntyre
Mike Brown has been fired as head coach of the Lakers, his agent told Sam Amick of USA Today.
So much for waiting on the homestand, coach!
That’s an awfully quick trigger finger. Maybe Phil Jackson said he was ready to return?
Within past 24 hours, Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak had pushed ownership to give Mike Brown more time before firing him, sources tell Y! Sports.

While my first guess is to scream this is all about Kobe … it sounds like ownership wasn’t happy with the direction of the team. But maybe ownership is taking its cues from Kobe? [USA Today Sports]
