they sort of will, by not re-signing more than half of them. but i agree, MD shouldnt be help solely responsible, but his lack of attention to defense is not acceptable at this point. No NBA team should be allowing teams to score 120+ points against you every night. and that starts with coaching.

hire lionel get some defense on that squad... get kobe back + a nice pick this year and theyre back in some sort of contention... also get nash off the books.

Should coaches have to teach defense though? Howard, Gasol and Kobe should know how to at least play man to man defense. This roster gets Dantoni a pass in my book.
