Forget doc not a big fan of his. I'm gonna throw out a name I haven't seen mentioned. Ime Udoka, been under popovich for a couple years and would really love to incorporate the spurs system with our team. |
this is not treasure hunting, Ime Udoka?????? you think Kobe would give a damn about what he says? |
I don't think it matters what Kobe thinks we have 13 players on the team we need a system and a coach in place that maximize the talent of everyone I. Our team not just kobe |
I'd love to have Doc. Although this is highly unlikely, It is interesting how everything is playing out. |

Lakers should only be looking for young, upcoming coaches to develop
Knicks, Celtics, Warriors, and even Cavs all have the right idea (these are teams off the top of my head.) |

One option is hiring Mark on an interim basis till someone else becomes available.
Backs away slowly. Fearing fan reaction. |

Haha I wouldn't mind that to be honest. Even crazier what if we just got mark madsen not worrying about who else will be available. I think he can be a good coach and somewhat knows modern NBA. |

| I am going to be the first one to say I am not a fan of doc rivers. He tries to control the team to much not letting players play free. He constantly has to call the plays instead of letting the offense flow. He was in a lucky situation with Boston and that's why people consider him a great coach. I would pass it's all about that youth movement up and down basketball |

| I'm starting to believe this Mad Dog idea. I will feel really bad for Byron if this is true. 3 interviews and you lose out to Mad Dog? Ouch. |

It most certainly matters what Kobe thinks. The system needs to be tailored around him. You don't not run a system that is tailored around your best player. That doesn't make sense. Kobe's here for the next 2 years, it needs to be a post centered offense.

I'm beginning to wonder if this might be a reason for the long wait. With Doc might come CP3. Jordan? Blake? If Sterling drags this out in the courts for another month, Balmer goes away and players start to walk. Easiest place to walk? Across the hall.

It would have seemed unthinkable to even mention Doc Rivers two or three years ago, but he would be a great hire for the Lakers.
Mark Jackson would also be fine with me.

Are Jimbo and/or Mitch giving up their jobs? That's the only way he would come. Rivers wants talent and power. He doesn't love L.A. that much. His family still lives in Florida. |

They may want to walk, but they are under contract with the Clippers. |

Well, I wouldn't be surprised at this point, Madsen could probably do a 2-year $3.6million dollar deal with team option after year one. They'll have some flexibility since this team appears to be a motley crew designed to get to the next free agency period. Mad Dog's a fave off the court so I am biased here and would root for him to go for it even though he will probably be put through the wringer. |

I think we haven't hired a coach because we want someone who is already under contact either in college or the NBA.
No other teams have openings so Scott will always be an option to fall back on.
I'd trade our 1st round pick pick we got from Houston for Rivers. |

Why would Doc Rivers come here? I am not saying he wouldn't but why? And when is the cut off? What if the NBA finds out it will take another year for Sterling case to finish? Would he resign in October or something?

I'm a bit the same. Although BScott is coming in for all these interviews and supposedly being involved in personnel discussions, who knows if the new Mike D (Dunleavy) isn't waiting in the wings to pounce?

I think we can do fine without that scumbag Rivers. He quits on any team where the situation doesn't favor him.
I hope Sterling drags this along and let's see if Rivers does the "noble" thing. Hope Sterling then sues Rivers for breach of contract. Clippers in turmoil. Like the good old days. |

I hope not.
Our team isn't a dang practice squad to test out how Mark will do as a coach.
I don't understand this love for him as a coach. |

Debt? 
Debt is not an issue. Dementia may be, though. |
