Does Luke Regret leaving GSW?

Who knows if kerr would ever be back again. Luke could be coaching that team to a few rings and likely be a lock for the HOF if he didn't leave for a rebuild.

Probably. Best team in the NBA, maybe a dynasty.

Think how much more satisfying and gratifying it will be for Luke when he leads the Lakers back to the promised land in a few years (I hope).

Mike Brown is probably the luckiest coach in history. Gets carried by Lebron then by the Warriors. Might be in the HOF if they carry him to A few rings

Heh, true as long as he doesn't get fired first, he's got a chance to build something that has his imprint from the start. It would've been nice to inherit a stacked team, but it'll will be that much sweeter if/when he does reach the promised land.

Mike Brown's a legend, two teams are probably still paying his (bleep) contract while he's getting a good seat at the finals. Still gotta play the games tho, lmfao if Tyronne Lue finds a way to repeat.

Why would he regret it. They're winning now and yes have a few years of prime from these guys, but they're not a team.known to win. They did a good job rebuilding into a powerhouse, but they don't really have very good prospects. Not to me tion it was his dream to coach HIS team, the Lakers.

Comparing to young GSW, Lakers have nothing short in talents. They built around Curry(#7), Barnes (#7), Thompson(#11), Green(#35). The lakers have already had Russell(#2), Ingram(#2), Randle(#7), Nance(#27), Zubac(#32) and Clarkson(#46), not to mention a potential top 3 pick and #28 this year. I think Lakers give him a better environment to be successful. If Luke couldn't build a team with these young talents, he couldn't be compared to Steve or mentioned as HOF coach.

If he's about recognition, better for him to succeed in LA. Let's say the Warriors win this year and Kerr doesn't coach in the playoffs, no one will give credit to Brown...

I dont think he regerets it, he doesnt seems like that type of guy but I'm sure he wondering how it might feel to be coaching that team right now

No. He got his ring there and he gets to come back "home."

regret it? Much more fun (and pride) to build your own situation rather than walk into some ready made situation that will eventually blow up.

Luke has answered "no" to this question multiple times.

Doubt it.

Do I want rings?
Well, he got 2 with the Lakers as a player and one with the Warriors as an assistant coach.

Do I want money?
He got paid, as a player and a coach.

Do I want recognition?
Perhaps, but if he turns around LA, he'll receive just as much with the fans and this market.

no....head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers is still a special job.

It's not always about the easy job that you can get job security with in life. I can't speak for Luke but growing up as a Lakers fan, if I was in his position I wouldn't regret it one bit.

Taking on the challenge of coaching a struggling team with such rich history and bringing them back to where they belong is something I'd want. Also, if he's our coach through our rebuild and to our first championship, this dude is going to be a (bleep) legend in LA. He's going to be like Pop/Spurs where he has more job security then anyone on the franchise. That's the challenge that would keep me up at night personally and I think Luke is the same way.

Compared to just being handed a dynasty and then after they're past their peak and you have your first rough season people would be coming for his head talking about how he got lucky with that talent.
