SHAQ ON CURRENT STATE OF THE LAKERS
“When you mean 'turn it around,' do you mean a championship? Because that's done. That's not happening unless they make a miraculous trade and get four new people. Who do they have on the Lakers? I'm not sure. I'm not joking. Do they even have anyone to trade that somebody would want?"
Apparently he hasn't seen our youngins from Clarkson to Russell to Beast. Might not be ready for a championship, but I'd say many teams would like our top young players in heartbeat.
Do you know what his career Won Loss record is? Are we surprised by decisions we see daily? What is he known for in your opinion?
Phil Jackson: Triangle, Championships, managing egos, messing with refs, master of mind games
Popovich: Championships, disciplined program and system, turning the ordinary player into B+ talent, unselfish play
D'Antoni: 8 seconds or less, lack of defense, high scoring games, free flowing offense, playing a small rotation
You go could through this exercise with every coach, and it got me thinking of what I thought of when I thought of BScott as a coach. The number one thing?
Hard training camp. That's pretty sad.
2nd was that he had success with Hall of Fame PG's only.
Looking at his coaching record was a bit of an eye opener.
In short, I do think this is his last season here. I hope he proves otherwise since I root for Lakers, but I actually think this may be his last stop as a coach with his record.
You might have thought last season was his worst...
