I actually like the thought of bringing in Brian Shaw. There have been several good names thrown out there.
And I can't say enough that we probably still have Byron as coach if Luke doesn't give the front office some kind of signal that he was willing to...
The other candidates were no more prepared for a full time head coaching job than Luke is. Can't believe this. Has barely been coach for an hour...
I'm confident we'll get a good staff. Certainly it will be an improvement over Byron's. I've pretty much been saying to keep our young core...
Like I always say, I promise someone on here would be upset if we signed Jordan in his prime. No pleasing some of you guys.
It was Luke or another year of Byron folks. This one was easy. Walton all the way.
The whole thing is clear now. They waited to fire Byron because they weren't sure Luke would take the offer. Once they knew he would, that was a...
Not sure why anyone would be against Luke to be honest. None of the candidates were proven in the NBA. He has tons of potential and has always...
Hmmm. Not a Cousins fan and not sure with saddling Luke with a malcontent right off the bat. I think once we get rid of Nick we will have a team...
It was clear from minute one he was number one on the list. This is great news. Now let's put together a good staff for him.
Honestly, I also think having one of the best coaching prospects out there choose the Lakers is a good look that will go over well with free agents.
Agreed. I think we will end up looking back at this offseason as the one where we really started to turn the ship around.
I definitely get this, but there is going to be a lot of additional work that needs to be done regardless of the coach. I think Luke and Messina...
Yeah. I'm good with him as an assistant.
Blatt needs time to rebuild his image. I think he should be an assistant for a while to be honest. He just isn't the guy to lead us back to...
If we come out of this with Doug Collins as our coach I might legitimately be done with the team. I'll at least have to step away for a while.
Absolutely. Good riddance too.
Meanwhile at the Staples Center....[MEDIA]
I don't think I would mind Shaw on our bench either.
