I actually wouldn't mind that. Becky seems pretty smart and Pop might even be grooming her to become a successor after he retires if she stays there.
As long as the players take her seriously then I think it could work out. However that might be the problem, as lame and bs as that sounds. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

Maybe sometime in the future, but right now there are more seasoned coaches from that tree to take a look at. |
Who? Not being condescending, I really don't know who u r referring to. |
Messina, Boylen, for example. |

Report: Messina (surprise) is interested in being an NBA head coach
File this under “no kidding,” but Spurs assistant Ettore Messina — one of the most decorated coaches in European history before joining Gregg Popovich’s staff last summer — is interested in furthering his career as an NBA head coach.
Finding the original piece by Italy’s La Gazzetta Dello Sport proved difficult. Various European sites provided a summation, with Messina saying that he’s “seriously thinking” about what it would be to lead his own team in the NBA, something no European-born coach has ever done.
“I am seriously thinking about that but I’d ask first (Popovich) and (general manager RC) Buford for advice. At the same time I am very happy with the Spurs. I have two years left on my contract with the Spurs. Maybe I finish my contract and I will go back home peacefully.”
Messina, who previously served as a consultant with the Los Angeles Lakers, said he interviewed with Atlanta GM Danny Ferry before the Hawks hired top Popovich aide Mike Budenholzer. Messina was also mentioned as a candidate in Oklahoma City to replace Scott Brooks, with the Thunder eventually going with University of Florida coach Billy Donovan.

Messina would probably be a good candidate, but the Lakers probably won't take the risk.
Given who the Lakers will actually choose, I think out best bet will be Walton or Madsen. Hopefully Madsen is much better than his summer league showings... |

I'm open to Hammon as a fresh face, but I have no idea how good of a coach she actually is. _________________ "There's only 2 dudes better than me, and I'm BOTH OF THEM." |

Hammon or Luke Walton would be good candidates to start with for the next head coach. |

Hammon as the first head female coach would bring a lot of scrutiny and media attention. I would like her but after her 1st stint just so that the media attention is not as overblown. |

Kevin Ollie.
I don't know why we didn't make a SERIOUS pitch to him last time around but he's the ideal candidate. Young, hungry, charismatic, has rapport with mulitple NBA superstars, has played in the NBA with star players, etc etc.
IMO, Kevin Ollie + Max Space + Max Space + Russell/Randle/Clarkson has to be appealing to Durant. |

Ollie is a no brainer but he seems to not want to leave where he is. |

Yeah, and would Messina even come back to the Lakers again? After the way Mike Brown was booted? Even though Messina was more like just a consultant for Brown and the Lakers for Brown's first year, I wonder if he harbors any ill will toward the Lakers, even though Messina returned to Moscow before Brown got fired -- then again... guess it wouldn't hurt to ask.
As for Madsen or Walton, I kind of lean toward Walton he can bring what he's learned at Golden State, how they institute analytics. This is probably several years away though as both guys need more experience. |

He's working with one of the worst rosters in the NBA, and definitely doesn't have much championship attitude on the team. Last year can not at all be used to judge Scott. Who could do better with this team? Nobody. I would love to see Scott go hard on these young guys and instill some toughness into them. I am of the minority that thinks he is highly underrated and will be viewed as a top tier coach when this team gets some talent. |
Totally agree. Byron has been more successful than MDA over his coaching career. Both have coached teams that won 49 or more games 4 times each. Byron coached conference champions twice, MDA on the other hand, has not coached a conference champion. It can be argued that MDA coached more talented teams over the course of his career. |
It can also be argued (well not really, it is common fact) that MDA competed in the tough WC while Scott went through the weak EC and his teams were destroyed in the Finals by those WC teams. What has also happened is that MDA brought some ideas to the league that title teams have grabbed hold of and used, while no one has seen anything impressive enough in Scott's system to emulate. |
Good points. Regarding MDA bringing ideas to the league - It can be argued that he and others (Spoelstra and Kerr etc.) are building off of Paul Westhead's offense from the Denver Nuggets and Loyola Marymount teams. |
There are definitely some similarities. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Drop the Princeton.....do it for D-Lo!!
Nuggets rookie point guard Emmanuel Mudiay told confidants after the draft he was, in retrospect, happy the Knicks passed on him at No. 4, as he was unsure he would have been a good fit for the triangle. Despite public comments to the contrary that he felt team president Phil Jackson could “make me a star,’’ Mudiay said he felt he was a better match in a more freewheeling Denver offense, according to sources.
This shouldn’t be a huge shock. Point guards like freedom and the ball in their hands and that is what Denver intentionally gave Mudiay at Summer League.
