Kevin Ollie to the Lakers?
- Thread starter Hater
- Start date
Yeah, I honestly think it'd be the perfect hire cuz hes a young coach we can allow to grow. I'm not all that interested in a name hire, I want a coach that's tryna make a name for himself and got what it takes. I hope we can get him, especially if we can draft Embiid, but I won't be surprised if we don't cuz he got a good situation right now.
praying this shyt don't happen, he hasn't even had a chance to coach a team in his mold yet. he got some guards/wings coming in built to run and with his personality and early success he's just getting started on the recruiting trail.
Im sorry but Ollie needs to stay away from the Lakers.. Matter of fact any coach should until after the free agency and draft. I know thats unrealistic but.... I love the Lakers but they really need to get that roster right. I wouldnt want Ollie to step in a fugged up sitcho.. He dont deserve that pressure. I hate Callipari but he needs to stay away also until at least a good roster is in place. Im not opposed to him as a hire even tho I dont care for him that much. I think he IS ready for the NBA tho..
Im being unbias in this post. Lakers front office dont need to set the next coach up for a fukked up season.

I don't understand why people think this is a bad move on Ollie's part. It's obvious we're in a rebuild mode, Spolstra was coaching the heats during their down times too. If we got a guy to grow with moving forward that's what's most important none of us have the expectation of a championship.
If Dr Jerry was still there.. i wouldnt question.. I just want Ollie to have a great situation. Thats all.

Send it to the friggin moon idiot
Why ya nikkas acting like the Lakers job is bullshyt like my hometown Bucks? Lol.
yea, no homo but dude got a mouthpiece. I had to take a group of kids I work with at an afterschool program to the Basketball HOF when he spoke last year and all them lil dudes were amped up afterwards talking bout they need to get schollies to go to UConn to play for him.
Dont matter whos wearring the suit on the sidelines. is still gonna be calling the shots... at least for another year
In all honesty, I know money talks and the glamor of Lakers can lure anyone into that spot but if Kevin Ollie wants to jumpstart his career he'll go for the Warriors job.
I hate it when young, especially young black coaches, with great potential get lured to the NBA to teams with no talent thus almost guaranteeing them to fail. Especially with fanbases like Lakers and Knicks who will have absolutely no patience with them. Granted, i think the Warriors shafted Mark Jackson by firing him so quickly just as the team was jelling. BUt If i'm Kevin Hollie i stay away from that mess in LA until they can figure out what players will be te corner stones moving forward.

You're right. It's a dream come true to most. But look at my previous post. Say He takes the job, gets no real premier talent and winds up fired after 3 years. Then what?
If im him and i want the NBA money so badly I go for a team with young talent IN PLACE and where there is less pressure to win immediately. Lakers could offer a lot of money but he can leverage that UCONN championship and get a big contract from any NBA team at this point.
I say stay at UCONN and become like Mike Kryzewski (sp) or Billy Donovan. Basically build up on your resume/success and be a GOD at the college level to the point where you can pick and choose which NBA team you would coach.
Dont be a young coach who took the first opportunity you got and ran with it and then having to deal with
giving you the look when your philosophy doesnt fit his personal agenda
