So what if Kurt interviewed a head coaching candidate?
1. It doesn't necessarily mean he's the GM now; it just means they brought him in to help with a coaching interview.
2. Kurt has a ton of coaching experience, mostly as top assistant to the most successful coach of all time. Don't you think that would give him some insight as to what a good coach sounds like?
3. It's good to have candidates interview with multiple people who have differing levels of experience and perspectives. |
Absolutely this is how you do it, instead of Mitch calling someone at midnight and asking him to make a decision, then the next day hiring D'Antoni because he couldn't decide right then and there. Does that sound like a well oiled front office? |
Exactly. I think posters here watch too many movies where a person goes in for a job interview, only talks to the boss, tosses out a few zingers, and sells the boss immediately, on the spot. That wouldn't - or rather, shouldn't - happen for a job like this, and it sounds like it's not. |

Someone else posted the link, but per Broderick Turner
| Quote: | Kidd is not expected to have a serious shot at the Lakers’ job — a position that some in the organization felt he was campaigning for during the season. Kidd was the coach of the Brooklyn Nets from 2013 to 2014 before the Nets traded him to the Milwaukee Bucks. Kidd was with the Bucks until Jan. 22, 2018, when Milwaukee fired him. His career record as a coach is 183-190.

I wonder who is telling the LA times that Kidd does not have a serious shot? Boy the Lakers have to close all their doors and check for bugged phones, because either they have an inside mole or just some wannabe spin doctor news reporter. |

It sounds like speculation from Turner. The dude needs his hits, but I hope he is right

I think that will depend on how the lottery shakes out. With Zion or Morant, I think Monty makes sense for PHO.
I don't think Lue is a start from scratch coach. |

I don't mind interviewing Kidd. I think casting a wide net and interviewing/picking the brains of basketball people is never a bad idea.
I do object to Kurt Rambis being an important voice in this process. |
Because being an assistant to Phil Jackson for a dozen years counts for nothing, right? You think he learned nothing about what makes for a great head coach (even if he himself doesn't have those traits)? |
It doesn’t count for anything, Rambis was a bad coach. Phil has no coaching tree.

This job will be filled by answering one question, who does Lebron want?

Things have gotten so bad that that scenario is our best-case. It is far superior to who do Jeanie/Linda want.
I trust LeBron to make basketball decisions more than anyone currently in our front office (save for maybe Ryan West and Jesse/Joey Buss, ironically the three that have reportedly been marginalized by the Jeanie/Linda/Pelinka/Kurt coalition). |

Apparently his agency also reps Ingram and Kemba Walker.
Granting favors like this in this industry should generally be a good thing, but boy are the optics bad. I hope I never have to see Kurt Rambis and Jason Kidd in the same sentence for anything involving the Lakers again |

Maybe. Whatever. I'll be the optimist and argue that it won't be like that.
But doesn't it brighten your heart just a little to know that, before that decision is made, that the FO is at least learning how to do a regular, rational coaching search?
EDIT: Come to think of it ... I think the Lakers already did ask Lebron. And he came back with 3 names of people he would be ok with. Lue, Howard, Williams. That makes sense. |

So earlier today I had a break from the shoot I was on and I say hey let me check Twitter and see what’s happening in basketball. Why is Kurt Rambis‘s name coming up regarding coaching the Lakers?
This organization needs an intervention. |

No offense, but if you go to Twitter to find out what's happening in basketball, you have no one to blame but yourself. |

And that job was filled by who did Nash want? The sad part of that charade was that nobody asked Kobe or Pau who eventually had to put up with a coach who hated their styles. |

Kurt Rambis had great success as a coach in L.A., Minny and New York.
