Even if he struggles to begin with, the fans will be very patient with him and allow him to grow to be the kind of coach we all believe he can be and that's all that matters. One thing I would want Luke to do is hire high caliber assistants like Kerr did. This would be his first head coaching gig and he would need all the help he can get. I hope he keeps Mark Madsen tho, just keep him away from coaching summer league games lol _________________ My Dream Starting 5 next Season

I mean, Steve Kerr didn't coach 1 minute in his life yet won the championship with the Warriors.
Luke went 39-4, 2 years as assistant on the Warriors, did coaching at the DLeague level. Why do people think he can't coach when he's coached more than Kerr at comparable time periods?

I'm not sure if he is, but I want him here so he can implement the same, or a similar, system to that of Golden State with our young players. I'm tired of seeing dlo waste his potential by trying to run a crappy system.

Ya theres a lot of it that he can implement here. All of the high pace PHX type pistol action works great with two guards who can handle and attack. And they run a lot of Spurs halfcourt stuff as a base offense, motion-weak, that can be implemented. We can run those two sets to death and to perfection.
And I just love that Luke is naturally an unselfish player and has that philosophy, and then seeing how much motion is deadly with the Warriors -- his offensive philosophy's/principles are A++. Zero question we would have a nice offense. I also know he'd get the most out of Randle's passing abilities , which would be big for our offense
Yes, he's the right move at the right time. However, if he decides to stay in GS, there's more qualified candidates that would be an upgrade over what we have to suffer through the last 3-4 years.

We don't have a stretch 4. So I'm not sure how much of GS's offense Luke would be able to implement here. GS's offense has 4-5 floor spacers out to the 3pt line at all times.
I'm looking at you Randle and Nance! They need to take humongous leaps in terms of their shooting, if Luke is the plan. Neither one is a consistent mid-range shooter at this point. Let alone a legitimate 3pt threat. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

One - he obviously still has loyalty to the Lakers
Two - given that he has worked closest with Draymond in GSW, his interest in Randle is pretty interesting. You have to believe if hired he is visiting Julius right away to discuss goals.

I still think you can implement a lot of it. Pistol and Spurs motion-weak are a lot of what they run. Those can def be ran with a non stretch 4. It will look different when we run it, it won't be as deadly without spacers(and all-time shooters w gravity) , but it still opens up lanes.

I get that. But lets not ignore the fact that Lamarcus Aldridge is a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better midrange shooter than Randle or Nance at this point. And that catch and shoot ability is key in terms of their spacing. Even if it extends just short of the 3pt line, Aldridge's mid range game opens up spacing more than Randle and Nance would in the same situation...let alone GS (who has Draymond spacing things out to the 3pt line). Even Speights off the bench. All season long, his midrange shot has been deadly. And in the playoffs he's expanded his shooting touch to the 3pt line. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

After 2 years of Mr. Rigid, and the preceding years another Rigid coach in MDA, I want a coach who isn't married to a "system" or "way." I think Luke is that guy. Will take the best of many systems. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
