In a three way meeting according to ESPN the two met with Dumbtoni to see if there was anything the could do after the worst lost in Lakers history. Per ESPN - no changes are being considered for the time being and they are not inclined to make any at this time
That sounds like a change is going to be forthcoming this summer and I believe D'antoni will be history. If that's the case though I propose that they fire his ass now, and place Rambis as the Head coach for the remaining portion of the season. It's a win win for them because Rambis gets 22 games or so to prove that he is worth keeping on a long term. The players respect him and Rambis is known for defense. The season is shot so if it seems like to the management that Rambis is a lost cause, they can begin their search for a coach with a brain. No one can lose.
If the Lakers keeps Gasol - then D'antoni has to be fired - Gasol and Kobe are not compatible with D'antoni's style of play. If the Lakers are committed to show time - like they said, that would be great, but D'antoni is not good enough to know how to play show time. They played defense in show time. This group of Lakers are not playing any defense.
