Ex-Coach Luke Walton Discussion

straightup CLUELESS

 

luke sucks but who out there could replace him?

there's no one available worth firing him for. who knows how much better shaw would be

 

just cause we dont hear names dont mean theres not better options out there...and Luke's a fraud, he's trying to copy GSW system but we dont have GSW players

 

Luke, Magic's on line 1.

It's that time of the admon(th)ish again....

 

We have no identity out there and we are 20 games into the season. That's on you Luke.

 

well i wouldn't bank on them finding the next pat riley at the moment

its either fire luke and promote shaw or hire some recycled coach like SVG

 

So who are you hiring in his place?

 

I think everyone should get comfortable with the thought of Jackson as our coach. I think it’s definitely a possibility.

 

I'd be willing to give Silas or Stackhouse a try.

 

20gms in n the only thing the team is really good at is running but then forget thats the thing theyre good at n gm slows down n gets real ugly

 

God no.

 

yeah this isn't a team where a coach would have time to "learn on the job"

luke got 2 seasons for that and clearly didn't learn. if there was some A-list coach available like carlisle or stevens, then yeah by all means fire luke and do what you can to bring those guys in. but that's not the case. like i mentioned, the only possibilities right now are fire luke and make shaw the HC, hire some recycled name like SVG, or hire some fresh new face like stackhouse and hope he learns on the job within a week. none of those sound good to me. if they're going to fire luke to bring in mark jackson solely because he's the only somewhat eniticing name out there then i would much rather they don't

the best case obviously is to wait until season's end to see which coaches are available

 

I know this would not be popular with folks around here but I think this guy is the best coach in the game... I would hire Larry Brown. The guy knows how to win. He would be great for LeBron’s window and really knows how to develop PGs.

 

Isn't he like 90 by now?

 

Magic criticism bout not having or seeing a system out there is 1000% correct and we've seen no improvements on that request. Luke is a copy cat coach IMO...we might as well start the search on the down low now then, he's not gona last at this rate

 

i'd rather they hire mike dunleavy to a 5 year contract than bring in larry brown

he has a proven track record for being an awful coach with young players. not to mention he's almost 80

 

Luke has a program to formulate his substitutions and rotations. It is a program that has gone through numerous incarnations and millions of dollars has been spent on it. It is called NBA 2K. News is that if that is not working, he may turn to NBA Jam if things get desperate. News is that Luke has a controller in his pocket and fondles the buttons while coaching our games.

 

I'm just going to place this here for y'all...



I hear Rondo is also cold auditioning for the gig.

That being said, Lakers shouldn't blow their load just yet. Play the long game and give Luke a chance to coach a playoff team before we flip the switch on him (and yes Doom&gloomers, we're making the playoffs).
