Luke Walton about to get fired: Woj bomb

[tremonthustler1]

Magic is like a New Yorker whose team has to rebuild. He’s wit it til the games are played and he can’t take it anymore.

Nothing positive from firing a coach 8 games into a season...it looks dysfunctional and thats not the look the Lakers need right now

 

[THE MACHINE]

Kyrie wanted out because he didn’t want to be there alone once Bron left and because he’s annoying ass wanna be pops Deadrick wanted power within the franchise and he wasn’t getting it.

This had nothing to do with Kyrie not wanting to play with Bron. He was getting his shots. He’s just a jealous hoe ass nikka who thinks the earth is flat

Jealous of who? I said he wasnt a great teammate but the person who dumps is always viewed better that the person who got dumped. He didnt like Bron for whatever reason (jealous, power struggle, issues on offense, Blatt Firing, trade requests, Bron was too pro black). But his image hasnt been tarnished by the general public because he made the decision to leave. Maybe if he were in Orlando it would be different but he was very fortunate to land in Boston.

 

[jwinfield]

Well, Bron, Rondo and Zo can pretty much run an offense in their sleep. So defense is the issue,

They were 12th in defense last year while dealing with injuries

 

[panopticon]

This is a soon to be shyt show..

Cats out the bag

All these players & coaches understand that they are all merely just pawns in Bron’s pursuit of Jordan. Look how eager he was to send that tweet after Jordan’s commercial.

To be fair Bron lives with that pressure everyday but it’s almost self imposed at this point. He embraced the idea of chasing Mike. It wasn’t like it was before when they were just on his ass to get a ring. This however is a circus

Kyrie leaving Cleveland under the circumstances he did may haunt Bron for the rest of his playing days. All of these boys have eyes and more importantly their own path to journey down. PG already has been on record saying guys feel funny at this point playing with Bron. I can easily see Kawhi saying no thanks. I doubt KD changes his mind either. When it comes down to it the only plausible possibility is AD...but one never knows

Straight facts.

The fact that they've been trial ballooning this on multiple major NBA podcasts the past few weeks tells me its something that's real, but that everyone is too afraid to actually report for fear of career damage.

When Jackie MacMullan brings this shyt up...it's probably real

Great point as well. We JUST got done fixing up the Jeanie-Jim family rivalry dysfunction.....we don't need to invite another circus. None of this kind've stuff would help us get a max FA next summer.

 

[Tim Dripcan]

Coli brehs told us that LBJ only signed with Lakers because he wants to be in Hollywood. Not to compete in the playoffs.

 

[Dwight Howard]

His rotations have been horrific. Sitting a hit Lance down in the 4th of two close losses, then outright not playing him after he Shaqing a fool on one play where they barely beat the Mavs.

I dont think Luke has a gut for seeing what’s going on during games.

Half the roster is new and it's an odd mix of young dudes and vets. Plus the suspensions, he just trying to see what works

While I agree with what youre saying about the situation, what Im not seeing is Luke having a feel for what’s going on in game.

 

[WMG the 2nd]

This nikka went to the lakers and about to get another coach fired fam damn lol
He makes Marc gasol look like Tim duncan

 

[EBK String]

unless its pop, NBA is about talent not coaching. Kerr is a mediocre coach but has 3 titles because he has the most talented team. The Lakers arent that talented for a western conference team

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I told y'all the west was no joke. LeBron and Magic thought they'd cakewalk to a 4 seed?

 

[panopticon]

As far as people saying Luke just got the job because of privilege or the Warriors shyt.....there was always talk about Luke eventually being the lakers coach ever since he did that stint at Memphis during the lockout. I know he didn't have much of a resume but I feel like it was natural for him to end up here and its conducive with the practices of the Lakers in the past.....they've hired a solid number of ex-players to be coaches. Then you add in the fact he was mentored by PJ it wasn't really out of the ordinary that we hired him. And if people think the Lakers haven't improved at all since he got hired you just not paying attention

All facts.
Always liked Luke being the coach...bring in a young coach for a young, developing team and let em grow together
Had em playing solid defense last year...probably could've done better with boosting Lonzo's confidence but I'm not sure if any coach could've brought him back from that Patrick Beverley game 1


Deserved at least this full year IMO

 

[Big Boss]

Always next year Lakers

 

[Big Boss]

Lakers were playing defense last season
