Metta World Peace blames Mike D'Antoni's system for 2012-13 Lakers failure

Tell us how you really feel, Metta.

The 2012-13 Los Angeles Lakers were one of the most disappointing teams in not just Lakers history, but NBA history as well. The Lakers acquired a still healthy Steve Nash in a fourth of July firework of a sign and trade, and followed up that move by acquiring disgruntled center Dwight Howard from the Orlando Magic to add to a core of Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol that had just won an NBA title two years before. The team was projected to be a historically dominant team, and things were supposed to be fun.
