Perfect hire, because they grabbed an average, unspectacular-but-not-terrible coach to oversee an average, unspectacular-but-not-terrible team.
Similar to the Jeremy Lin signing, I just kind of shrug my shoulders and say, "Okay, so the team won't be as terrible anymore, but this isn't going to make them contend."
But in reality, this team really has no way to go anywhere for awhile. LeBron didn't come and won't ever, and even Carmelo chose to stay away. Not that Carmelo would have led the Lakers to a championship, but you get the point. Lakers are likely many years away from acquiring a combination of talent that can be championship caliber.
