Quote: | The Warriors weren't the only team interested in Nash. Both the Lakers and Suns tried to hire the former guard in a similar position to what the Warriors ultimately gave him, according to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports. However, Nash later clarified the offers came after he had already agreed with the Warriors. |

Straight from the horse's mouth.
Good thing we didnt have Nash back then, he might have helped our guards out enough so that we might have missed out on the last 2 #2 picks. |

| so what if Lavar said "he's better than carmelo right now" when he was still at UCLA. everyone would've called him crazy. then to see this come out without him stepping foot first on a nba court. hilarious.
But this list is also cold. how you gone do melo like that? |

Thanks for posting.
but look at this tweet responding to the above.

I am all for Nash teaching him about basketball. But shouldn't lonzo learn how to take care of ur body from someone who hasn't been injured |
obviously this person doesnt realize a guy with nash's back issues to stay in the nba as long as he did and to be a MVP candidate let alone a real one. at the PG position and him not being known for being super fast or athletic. That says a lot about how well trained nash had to be in order to : 1. get out on the court.
2.do well on the court
3.become a MVP level player.
bad bag not so athletic not so tall guy becomes the mvp? where dey do dat at?
welp you better go find out where they do that at. So you can do it too. Lonzo is born with better tools than nash. So anything he learns from nash could make him a better version of nash just because lonzo is taller, longer, faster, more athletic.
The thing I wanted him to teach zo is his hesitation and how to have that irky jerky game. where you speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down.. where the defender can't guard you well because he doesnt know when to speed up to catch you or when to move slowly so you wont catch him slipping and pull up for the jumper. like some have said, like most kids. zo has one maybe 1.5 speeds. but not 2 or 3 speeds yet. he needs those 3 speeds to become a monster unstoppable force in the nba.
imagine what would nash have done to the league if he was 6'5+, more athletic with no back problems? YIKES. |

Hopefully Zo and Steve-o keep in touch. If Nash could work miracles with JC he should do wonders with Zo. D'lo could've seriously benefited from his tutelage. I remember there was talk when he first got to GSW about how he wouldn't really be able to help Steph since he was already so good, then he went on to have arguably the greatest season in history. _________________ It was reminiscent of one of those Most Interesting Man in the World advertisements: "I don't always shoot 6-for-28 from the field, but when I do, I become the youngest player in league history to score 28,000 career points." |

That was 1 problem with Russell, he had to much ego to get advice from vets in the NBA, actually that was a big problem, id imagine he would have had better stats in his 2nd year if he took the time to work out with Nash or Kobe, dude thought he was all that and he wasn't good yet, hopefully he has a good career in Brooklyn. |

It is, cause a few people have mentioned the same thing, Russell was seen as having a lazy attitude, we can all be upset that we traded a player with big potential but the reality is that Russell wasn't 100% dedicated as we all thought |

this is turning into a KD situation where every time he complimented his new teammates in GS is interpreted as a slight against Westbrook. |

Except this time, it's not just one person (KD) saying it. LOL.
We've heard things from players, coaches, President of Operations say things that may or may not be more that it really is.
I always go back to what Ireland said about what the coaches he trust have said about a certain point guard. It just makes other comments like BI's make you go: "oh really." It may be nothing, but it's fun to play detective. |

Pretty much. But that just means that they think our players are super super petty. Or perhaps they are _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Dangit. I thought I had it written down somewhere.
I couldn't find the podcast either.
The only quote I could find on LG was:
epak wrote: | Lakers2015 wrote: | From another forum.
Luke Walton on ESPN710: not a single coach from either the Byron era or the Luke era would really say "D'Angelo is going to be a great player." Almost all of them would say "boy I hope he figures it out".
Both he and Ramona said he has all the talent and both agreed he simply wasn't dedicated every single day to improving on the court.
Both said they're pulling for him to succeed and turn it around in Brooklyn.
Ramona also said the phone thing was still an issue a bit. John disagreed. |
OMG. I'm listening to ESPN 710 right now.
Luke Walton did NOT say that.
John Ireland said that.
Wow.
C'mon people!!! |
But I could have sworn there was another instance where John shared that he had talked to some coaches he trusts, and they said DLO was not coachable. But alas, I cannot find the link. If anyone else can back me up, please do. If not, I will never bring that up again. |

I wouldn't read anything into it. Lonzo just has a way with people that other people don't have, especially at the point guard position. If it's a slight towards a particular point guard then it's s slight towards most point guards because they're not built like Lonzo. _________________ My Dream Starting 5 next Season
