 Posted: Thu Feb 26, 2015 2:53 pm Post subject: Steve Nash role with Lakers Discussion (Bring Nash back as a player development coach) |
|
|
I know many here have soured on Nash, but if it were up to me, I'd try to bring him on staff as a player development coach next season. Just like Kareem was with Bynum. Clarkson worked with him over the all-star break, and you can already see some of it paying off.
I'd like to see more of that. I'd imagine there are certain things he could show a guy like D'Angelo Russell too should we be fortunate enough to draft him.
What do you guys think? I say do it Mitch. |

| Love it. He's a positive person with knowledge of the game. Also highly respected by players as a guy who "got it done". |

I hear what you're saying, but regardless, you wouldn't want Nash showing our young PGs the ropes?
What if we can draft a guy like Tyus Jones. It'd be nice to have Nash on payroll to show them the ropes |

Clarkson has shown continuous improvement since the beginning of the season. It's not about whether he had a particularly good game or not. The thing I look at is that he's consistently better than he was a few months ago. And that seems to correspond with him saying that he's working with Nash. |

| Player development coach was Mad dog's position last year. Nash should be more elevated - like director of player development. This requires travel and seeing different levels of competition - perfect fit since Nash likes to travel. His open minded and maturity of cultures will give him the best perspective. |

| As long as he does it for free, he already stole enough money from the Lakers. |

I don't see Nash wanting a full-time coaching gig. I could see him looking to get a television announcing gig or something like that. But, sure, I'd love him to be on the coaching staff if he was open to that. |

| Nash has said that he doesn't want to be a full time coach because of what a grind it is. But I could see him trying to get a front office position. |

|
|
So now that Steve Nash has been waived, does he or will he still mentor Clarkson? Do the Lakers have to hire him as a "coach" or "consultant" to keep working with Clarkson?
I figure he isn't going to do it for free...at least not on a regular basis. |

I figure Nash will step away for a bit. Maybe the game calls him back but I'm sure all the rehab wasn't fun.

Is this like when Yoda trains Luke for a short time and then dies and leaves Luke to battle Darth Vader?
Is Clarkson's training complete? Is he a Jedi yet? No...he must face the Black Mamba.... |

In his interview he stated that he gave Clarkson and Lin his phone number and told them to call him any time they needed help.
I dont think the Lakers would kick him out if he stopped by.
But I don't expect him there on a regular basis. |

Hopefully Kobe won't cut off Clarkson's right hand then. |
