This literally means LeBron is coming. cause Luke is still a young coach who can end up being a real good coach once we create a great roster.... this isn’t coincidence as Fizdale has been talking about the Lakers a lot lately and has been praising our young core

Luke has done an admirable job. These guys have shown strides of improvement. Id like to stick with him and let them continue to grow.

I went from being pretty negative on Luke to fairly happy with him.

I like the way he negotiated the transition through Lonzo's injury and then after losing Clarkson and Nance.

I don't want LeBron if it means throwing all loyalty to the wind and getting rid of everyone who helped engineer the turn around.

If Fiz is smart, he will see if he can get an assistant job with luke. head coaches are assistants all over the league nowadays so it's not a knock on him at all. Now the question is, would luke be willing to have him next to him knowing that he's also a good young coach that bron(if he comes) would possibly rather have???

Luke is safe, unless we go on a 20 game losing streak to end the season. Sorry, Fizdale.

Oh I agree, Luke has done a great job, it’s sad that he probably gets COY honors if not for that pathetic 9 game losing streak, we probably are in the playoff pictures if not for that losing streak.... but I think Fizdale definitely seems to admire the Lakers, he’s been talking about them ALOT despite the FACT that he has no history with them, I wonder if LeBrons camp is telling the Lakers to bring in Fizdale that would mean that LeBron is all but set to become a Laker on July 1

This Lebron and Fizdale talk is overblown. The story started when Fiz was fired and Lebron gave him a compliment. lol

Just like your 50 win prediction before the season, this isn't happening.

Fiz seems like a good coach, but I would like to see some continuity for the Lakers in terms of coaches. Fiz can come and be an assistant to Luke if he would like!

I was actually thinking if Fizdale would accept being our assistant coach

Young coach with a young team that continues to show signs of improvement. L.A. is an impatient city but stand down. The Lakers will get there. Maybe not as soon as everyone would like, but they'll get there.

I think Luke is safe because of Jeanie....but I think Magic would bring in his own guy if given the opportunity. It will be interesting to see if Jeanie holds firm on Luke or is eventually persuaded otherwise.

If he doesn’t get a offer that he likes from another team I could definitely see him settling for a assistant coach with the Lakers, especially if we land LeBron

Idk about fiz but those who think Luke is safe are dillusional. (bleep) rolls downhill and I give Luke one season to make the playoffs with or without a superstar signing this summer. Someone is getting blamed and magic will be the last one right before Jeanie.

Remember when Larry nance was the “secret weapon”. Remember when they were targeting two stars in summer 2018? All words. Nobody is safe until we’re in the playoffs and a clear contender.

Look but don't touch! Luke is our coach! Lebron wants to come, He plays for Luke. If not, Kick rocks! we ain't turning our franchise upside down for a guy that has 3 years max as a top player.

Magic said before the season that playoffs weren't the determining factor on a successful season for this squad. Improving was the objective.

By those comments, if the team finishes the season with a win total in the mid-30s, then Luke should be safe. A 10-game win increase is substantial.
