I doubt he was being serious. They're in the middle of a championship run, they won't waste time talking about the Lakers. |

Why would he joke about that? I'm fairly certain that's something they talk about. Likely not as much as they talk about the Warriors though. |

I agree. Phil ain't coming because Jimmy ain't stepping down no matter what happens.
And I don't know why the media and fans keep reporting and parroting this "deadline" as if Jeanie has any kind of legal power to enforce it. |
Not sure why people even want Phil, he may be a great coach but I don't think he is the best evaluator of talent |
Seriously. He probably would have hired Luke as well but for the wrong reasons.
I'm really eager to find out how that coaching search for Knicks is going to play out. If he ends up sticking with Rambis we know he's the wrong guy to lead this organization.

Because about 90% of Steve Kerr's comments to the media are sarcastic. |

It was a sarcastic answer to a stupid question. What kind of idiot reporter asks if the coaching staff ever talks about Steph's injury status?

Maybe in context it was better. Maybe the reporter misrepresented what he wanted to ask... like he meant to ask whether or not they are talking about his status (for Game 1, where he was ruled out) or something. |

"I see it," Walton said. "Honestly, Julius can give us the freedom to do a lot of things because of his size and quickness. If he can develop other aspects of his game, that allows us to go small with him at center because he's strong enough to cover centers.
"That kid averaged 10 rebounds a game as pretty much a rookie? That's insane. This is a grown-man league. For someone in their first year playing to do that is obviously a big advantage to have."
Walton likes how Randle pushes the ball after taking defensive rebounds but knows the 21-year-old sometimes plays "a little [too] fast." His outside shot also needs work. |
|
I was just going to say that I expect them to try randle at 5. |
Definitely going to see a lot of Randle and Nance at the C spot with Luke. I'm more curious about the 3 we're going to get to slide over to the 4 when we go small. |
If Walton wants to use Randle in the DG role at center, drafting Ben Simmons would not be an issue at that point. If the Lakers get ingram or Simmons in this draft, their team would start to look like GS, size wise. The only problem is, no one is going to shoot like Klay and Curry. GS may have the best 1-2 shooters of this generation when its all said and done. Lakers having the ability to play small and using some bigs, like SA, might be the better way. |
I think we need Randle to develop into a low post threat and use that along with the transition skills that he, Russell and Clarkson have.

| Anyone think he's going to be doing summer league? I would assume so to get used to the youngsters. I hope they all play summer league and he starts instilling his offense by that time. |

Deng would fit the role nicely

Imagine a coach who adapts and confines and adjusts. Wow. Every time I hear Luke talk, he is saying exactly everything this team needs. If the Lakers didnt sign anyone this off season and had the same team, I would bet he could win 13 more games with this team.

I am sure we are going to enjoy his coaching strategy, philosophy, and his communication.
No knock on anyone but I think Byron said the same thing |

Not sure what Byron has ever said that resembles Luke's comments, but even still, saying it is one thing, doing it is another. Byron was guilty of doing the very thing D'Antoni did during his first year of coaching the Lakers- imposing a system even though it didn't fit the personnel. But D'Antoni deserves credit for caving later in the year. The team played much better once he did. But Byron? Umm.....

That was Kobe saying screw you to MDA and taking over. There was nothing MDA could do to stop it and he gave up. We wouldn't have made the playoffs if it wasn't for Kobe changing the system the last couple of months. |
