The Lakers and their fan base finally got a win yesterday with the hiring of Luke Walton. It's a move that the staff at this site supported, even if by the slimmest of margins, and it's the first time in a few offseasons that this franchise hasn't swung and missed.
Nevertheless, it's a little odd that after firing Byron Scott and claiming that the team was unlikely to hire a new coach within two weeks, general manager Mitch Kupchak has hired a new coach in less time than it took to axe the old one.
