If by "the same" you mean Lue has 211x the experience as a NBA regular season head coach 61x the experience as a NBA playoff head coach and 100% more championship wins than Nash ... then yes ... you would be correct "its the same"

Should have taken the Pels job, less stress and a superstar you can count on
Phil Jackson, Greg Popovich, and Pat Riley, just THREE coaches, accounted for 19 out of 26 championships at one point....if we're going by "staggering numbers", that number is a lot more staggering, no?Only one team can win per year ... Those 4 superstar players alone account for 11 out of the last 20 championships.... 11 of the last 20 championship were cashed in by 4 main superstars man ... that number is staggering
Take the superstars away from those coaches and they're no longer champions ... coaches are important for certain things but don't touch the value of a superstar
And 3 of the 7 titles they didn't win were won by Chuck Daly and Larry Brown, who are legends in their own right.
You need a complete team to win a title. And one part of a complete team is being well-coached. A great coach can't win by himself, but unless you have a transcendent player-coach leading your team or an overwhelming talent advantage, then you're not going to win a title without an above-average coach. "Average" coaches ain't gonna get it done.
SHOULDA TOOK THAT
CAVS GM POSITION.
HES HUSTLING BACKWARDS.
when you have that type of financial security he has, he can do what he wants. He doesn’t need to follow the traditional career path.
You can tell by the way he moves that he’s trying to avoid being in a fukked up position, which is important for a black man.
Plus it’s obvious these nyggas talk to each other. You don’t think he asked Lue or anyone else about that job? Lue probably told him hell nah you don’t want to be there

Quick ... name me his record in Orlando
To be fair, no coach could win in Orlando with that roster back then.
Like I Said ...Which one of those didn't have a superstar player on their rosterPhil Jackson, Greg Popovich, and Pat Riley, just THREE coaches, accounted for 19 out of 26 championships at one point....if we're going by "staggering numbers", that number is a lot more staggering, no?

The only reason people like yourself even hold certain coaches in high esteem in the first place is overwhelmingly due to the superstar talent they had access to during their durations with the teams you mentioned ....
Except for the guy who replaced him and immediately added nearly 20wins to their record and a playoff birth with effectively the same exact roster
LUE WAS STILL HEAD COACH
WHEN HE TURNED THE JOB DOWN
AND BRON BRON/CAVS HAD 1 MORE
FINALS RUN IN THEM.
HE COULD HAVE COME IN
AND MADE THE KYRIE TRADE HIMSELF
TO SET THE TEAM UP FOR THE FUTURE.

Chauncy and Lue are actually friends. I think it’s logical to believe that he did his homework before turning down the job. This is a guy that earned over 100M in his playing career, plus he worked at ESPN at the time. If he wasn’t 100 percent comfortable with the situation, why would he take the job?

OF BLACK GMS IN PRO SPORTS>>>
BEING AN ASSISTANT COACH.
HE HAD A CHANCE TO COME IN

lol you’re projecting your perspective onto someone else
doesn’t work that way
Project your ignorance onto others brehs.The only reason people like yourself even hold certain coaches in high esteem in the first place is overwhelmingly due to the superstar talent they had access to during their durations with the teams you mentioned ....
I was a Larry Brown fan before he had ever won shyt, he made every team he went to better.
The superiority of the scheming of coaches like Chuck Daly and Popovich is obvious. To just claim that superstars made them is a bunch of bullshyt. Phil Jackson scared me when he joined the Lakers (both times), MJ/Kobe/Shaq as #1's never won shyt without him. The respect players have for Pat Riley is legendary. And the Warriors looked completely different under Steve Kerr than they did under Mark Jackson.
If you wanna claim that these coaches only have reputations due to the players, then you're claiming those players don't know shyt. Because players are giving those coaches huge props for what they accomplished.
There are superstars all over the league. Most of them ain't doing any winning unless they're under a great coach. Pop didn't have any superstars in 2014. Wade in his 2nd year wasn't known as an MVP-level superstar like that yet when Riley got his 5th chip. Even the 1999 Spurs, you know that 2nd-year Duncan ain't doing shyt without Pop leading the way. Where were Shaq and Kobe, Malone and Stockton?Like I Said ...Which one of those didn't have a superstar player on their roster
Way to just post shyt without reading.Which one of those didn't have a superstar on their roster
Chuck Daly and Larry Brown did NOT coach superstar-driven teams. There were plenty of bigger superstars in the NBA. They coached well-balanced, well-coached teams that used defensive schemes to win.
