Lakers is it time to panic?

Nobody saw it coming 17-25! Lakers are in this mess because of  there choice of coach of head coach but as well as having many of there core players missing through injury. First of all let's states the facts; 1. Jerry Buss wanted Mike D'Antoni because he wanted "SHOWTIME LAKERS" to return and of course Steve Nash as both worked well together in Phoenix but he overlooked two important factors, He was a complete disaster as head coach of New York Knicks and that is offensive scheme entails speed and the truth of the matter the LAKERS are too slow and needs to tinker with his coaching philosophies for LAKERS to be successful. Up to this point he seems reluctant to do that and furthermore to win championships which is the culture in Los Angeles is to play defense and D'Antoni doesn't know how to teach that in his 16 years as an head coach in the NBA. 2. Injuries have played a part also when the "BIG 4" Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Steve Nash  have been injured, missing a combination of 40 games, obviously it affects it affects chemistry. Another important point to look at is what is the relationship between Kobe and Howard and how it affects morale. The Laker Nation wanted The Zen Master Phil Jackson but if you wanted to make best out of talents that Steve Nash posesses hiring Phil would be a bad move as Nash would be a shooter rather than a passer. Now how can Lakers improve and make a push for the playoffs; there are two options either fire D'Antoni wish is unlikely as they already owe 22 million already but with the team continue to accumulate losses Jim Buss may be forced to make a change in terms of coach. The most likely option is through trades which may include trading 2 time NBA Champion Pau Gasol, which is trade value is very low at the moment which means you might not get fair deal no all star level type player that Gasol is even though he is riddled with injuries but if you can get some youth and more than decent role players why not. Some have said why not trade Dwight Howard as they fear he will leave for nothing as a free agent but in my opinion I don't see him leaving Lakers as Brooklyn Nets who were in for him can't afford him and with Lakers he has opportunity to be a leader and with all the history why would he leave and Lakers will be crazy to trade him as like I said he is the future. So really the hope is that trades are made which will lead to improved performance as well as D'Antoni tinkering with his offensive schemes.
