    Does Luke need that kind of distraction?

    I sure hope not. Instead, bring Jarron Collins from GSW as well with you Luke.

    Plus I like coaches that can be hands on in practice.

    He and Luke can show the squad what they want from them on the court.

    I want Luke to bring discipline and accountability that Kerr didn't seem to exhibit in these playoffs (and when he returned... which reflected on the team's arrogance).

    I don't mean go full-moron like Byron or break a whiteboard on court. I mean anyone doing uncalled for bonehead behind the back passes that leads to turnovers, Luke ought to bench and chew them out Pop style.

    wouldn't mind jefferson as an assistant. these young guys need as many "player friendly" figures as possible and jefferson, like luke fits that category

    i still would like to see luke bring along at least one of the guys on the warriors staff (adams, collins, fraser) collins is probably the most likely to leave out of the 3

    Well Luke will have that ability here for sure. Nobody on our team has the resume of Steph. At some point you've got to trust your 2x MVP. Kerr did and Steph made poor decision after poor decision.

    Wow now there's maybe a good thing to come out of LeBron becoming greatest of all times.

    realdeal
    To what you said above .... probably outplay some of the young guys in certain areas too still due to what he demonstrated he still had .... on the toughest, sphincter puckering stage in the NBA. Is he a heady, smart player like Luke, that's just not an uber athlete? But does he know skills good? (hi Travis :) ) If so hell yeah bring him ON.

    Luke if we are ever in a game 7 for the got damn NBA title and you start and keep playing a player (Cough Ezeli cough) that crapped the bed and screwed his team not once (1st quarter close bc of him), not twice (Cavs erased lead with him to start 2nd half), but THREE times (why in the hell do you put him back in up 4 with 5-6 minutes left when he's been a huge net negative) I will personally drop kick you straight in the face. You can learn a good number of things from Kerr, but just erase that moronic decision(s) from your mind now.

    I wouldn't be against this at all. Smart player, maximized his talent to the very end, vocal leader. Reminds me of Shaw in a lot of ways actually, the front court version.

    I would think that Walton will bring a more balanced attack on offense as we have a player that can create in the paint in Randle and our squad won't be so reliant on the perimeter game. Golden State did not have that kind of luxury. Maybe a sweet shooting gangly SF to keep defenses from collapsing inside...

    I'm looking forward to all the movement off the ball.

    Coming off of screens, setting solid picks, cutting to the basket, you know.... all the stuff that wins game.

    I remember when we use to win games
