Mark Cuban Wishes All the Worst for the Lakers

Found November 11, 2012 on FootBasket:
PLAYERS: Mark Cuban,  Phil Jackson
TEAMS: Dallas Mavericks,  Los Angeles Lakers
Noel Vasquez/Getty Images When the Los Angeles Lakers formed their superteam earlier in the off-season, Dallas Mavericks outspoken owner Mark Cuban was quoted saying that he hoped the team would suck. So far, his hopes have been coming true as Los Angeles currently stands at 2-4 and are now in for a coaching search. The Lakers recently fired head coach Mike Brown Friday morning and are now trying lure back Phil Jackson for a third term with the team. Cuban says he hopes the firings of coaches happens more often for this team. “That is a quick trigger. But, hey, it’s the same thought I have all the time. I hope they have to do it again this season. A couple times. Five times, maybe,” he told ESPN Dallas. Cuban said he wouldn’t have made the decision the Lakers did, firing a coach fives game into the season. “I just hope it was a huge mistake and they continue to make them.” The post Mark Cuban Wishes All the Worst for the Lakers appeared first on FootBasket.
