With the almost assured end of the triangle offense in L.A., will that help/hurt the Lakers moving forward?

Well as long as the lakers front office doesnt give him to much control I think the triangle offense could work out. Brown's definition of an "Offense" is having your best player run down the clock and then shoot, which doesn't really work out since no one is consistent enough to always win the game. They will need to hand over the offense to somebody who know how to work it (as in an assistant coach), or try to form a whole new offense. The lakers still have a lot of talent left in them and I think they need to make some trades, free agents and rebuild next season, and then come back strong 2013.
