    I mean his ability to relate to the players is probably the #2 reason he was hired (#1 obviously being his ability). I'm sure this was a huge consideration for the Lakers, especially with all the young kids who need a more... subtle approach.

    This to me was the most insightful part:

    MT:     Every time the TV cameras show Steve Kerr on the Warriors’ bench, he seems to be talking to Walton. What’s your sense of that relationship and how it has impacted Walton?

    Ding: It's one of the many important relationships in this Golden State organization that is built on real trust. It was good fortune for Luke to get this experience under Steve, because Steve is very different from Phil Jackson despite how much they both learned from Phil. Steve's operation is much more democratic and open-door than Phil's, even though Phil was committed to empowering all his players, too. Luke has mentioned to me what a great job Steve does in building a world where everyone's voice matters, and that is more in line with Luke's personality, too. So in that sense, Steve and Luke are rather similar--and the Lakers will be getting more that atmosphere where people can be relaxed and confident instead of worried or nervous as in recent seasons.

    Seriously cannot wait for Luke to get here. Hopefully the Warriors can finish off the Cavs soon so he can get down here and start attending these pre-draft workouts of players. Love that he's really soaking it all in before he starts coaching full time.

    ^The interesting aspect of their coaching style is that neither Walton or Kerr are clones of Jackson even if they played under him unlike Rambis and Fisher. They also incorporated things they learned from Olson and from Kerr's standpoint...Popovich.

    Luke, umm, we need you in Los Angeles, but I'm glad you'll be adding to your jewelry collection. Can't wait to see him when he gets here. LUKE!!!

    Yeah. He can take a break after July 5th or 6th when the initial free agency push is over.

    I posted some similar stuff not too long ago. I can't get enough of the new offense we're going to be running. It's terribly exciting.

    I really like those split cuts a lot. I see so many potential mismatches out of that set once our players get that down pat.

    By the way is that you @RandleROFY that puts these videos together?
