Luke is fine. Team is young and just going through growing pains. Only a handful of players currently on roster will be with them in 2019 and 2020 when they should be title contenders if they land Lebron and another few pieces.

Lonzo is never going to be a big time scorer. He will have a greater impact on final scores by putting up 15pts 8 reb 12 assist than 26 5 5. The jump shot will develop. Will just take time. He has amazing court vision and makes passes only a handful of players can make. The kid can play. He just needs to get comfortable.

Randle should be playing more but I think the gm doesn’t see him as being a good fit and Luke is told to limit his minutes until he can be dealt. Deng will be gone somehow and Bogut could get a pick if he is healthy at trade deadline.

Pronto!

Remember when Lonzo was going to be better than Jordan and Magic

Guy couldn't make 5 layups straight on a 8 foot hoop.

unde0087 · 11-09-17, 04:38 AM

Fire Walton? Cut the bitch ass flop Ball

Can you imagine the hood rat who saved up for 6 months to buy that shit ass shoe and watch the guy wearing it, who can't even make a layup

unde0087 · 11-09-17, 04:43 AM

Lonzo did become dad, averaging nothing but instead of NCAA its the NBA, family is a fukin joke. Thanks for the shit show LaVar

Should have sent your kid to UNC so at least one of your clown sons could have held a championship trophy

Starting to think Luke is a Magic/front office puppet.

Plays Bogut who sucked ass the whole first quarter over Randle.
Plays Kuzma who was sucking ass the whole game in crunch time over Randle.

Randle is being traded before the deadline.

kaanyeezy · 11-09-17, 11:49 AM

Randle is by far the best player on that team. The fact that he gets 18 minutes per game is blasphemous. The fact that he gets 18 minutes per game with Larry Nance out is even more so. Sure, Randle is not good defensively, but there are a handful of players in this league who are pylons on the defensive end yet get it done offensively (OREBs & Scoring). Luke Walton is a piece of shit.

MinnesotaFats · 11-09-17, 01:27 PM

You know they are a .500 team with a point guard who's shooting under 30% from the field. That's not bad coaching, that's bad player. Going to have a long leash w/ Ball since the whole franchise is on him and the FA they sign next year (LeBron?)

I hear ya, I guess they already have so many stiffs out there on d they don't want another? Tend to agree with you, what's 1 more?!?!

spargament · 11-09-17, 03:08 PM

They won't attract a top 10 player next year, that's for sure.

Not Walton's doing. Feels like a lot of backstage politics that he doesn't have a voice in causing some weird issues where guys aren't getting the PT that they should. I actually think he's been solid given the circumstances.

lakerboy · 11-09-17, 10:04 PM

No show again tonight. Jet lag?

Goat Milk · 11-10-17, 01:58 AM

Walton running a college program

Most of the guys on his team not even old enough to drink

It's a joke all around

Benching Luol Deng for the likes of Larry Nance? Lol. They should just give up now.

Powerbalance · 11-10-17, 05:08 AM

I love Walton, give him time and Lakers will be back on top

lakerboy · 01-13-19, 11:12 PM

Get rid of him now

Walton did not draft Lonzo Ball.

The Giant · 01-13-19, 11:14 PM

It could happen after this game.

Who replaces him?

Brian Shaw?

No one. LeBron is the coach

Wrongside · 01-13-19, 11:17 PM

You guys gonna have egg on your face after they beat Cavs here. Their current roster ain’t much better than Cavs.

Bucketwah · 01-14-19, 12:00 AM

It could happen tommorow.. about +350 odds on it

I think you were trying to do live. Did you see something?

Anyway, I had to protect it. Aka, so did I. Took Cavs +500 and +485 prior to game. Didn’t watch game. Otherwise, I’m sure I would have added

Ratpack · 01-14-19, 08:15 AM

some are saying it could be jason kidd

nyplayer33 · 01-14-19, 08:48 AM

Teach fundamentals, if your in nba...you know fundamentals

gauchojake · 01-14-19, 08:52 AM

I like Luke but that was inexcusable.

jjgold · 01-14-19, 09:22 AM

no players

not Waltons fault

THAT to me is always the right question. In the NFL more so than the NBA. There simply isn`t enough great coaches in the world to fill 30 spots.

After 5-6 guys in the NFL, I have no confidence in the rest of the "fraternity".
NBA. Maybe a few more. But think about Billy Donovan. Came in with all sorts of hoopla and fanfare. I would want any part of him.
Exactly what offense is he trying to run?

Brad Stevens. Nothing but praise. Smart. Calm. Great X/Os. Gets most out of players. Look at the inconsistent effort put forth this whole year. I wouldn`t get rid of him, but some of the shine is off to me.

This a really a CEO position in a billion $$ company. With mostly immature, entitled kids as your employee making tons more money than you. No thanks.

7deuceoff$uit · 01-14-19, 10:19 AM

I said it from the beginning, and I will continue to say it, LeBron will bring in Lue for Walton.

fly fisher · 01-14-19, 10:32 AM

Lakers shoot 40% from the field, 21% from the arc, and 60% from the line (all rounded up), that isn't bad coaching that is on the players. Ball needs to go, he might be the worst player ever to play point for the Lakers. If Lakers cut him, no other NBA team would pick him up. As a Laker fan, I am embarrassed.

t-wizzle · 01-14-19, 10:42 AM

Silliness.

IBetYou · 01-14-19, 04:54 PM

I've come around on Ball. He's got his flaws, but I like a true pg. His size is great on the defensive end in certain matchups also.

Getting rid of Walton would be the dumbest coaching switch since the Cavs got rid of Blatt. It would just make things worse.

TheMoneyShot · 01-14-19, 04:59 PM

Walton isn't the issue. Anyone who coaches the Lakers would have problems.

Damn. Totally forgot he was available. I still think he's a good coach.

jjgold · 01-14-19, 05:17 PM

Coaches have no impact on championships it’s all Hall of Fame players that win

Guys are very very dumb

Mac4Lyfe · 01-14-19, 05:51 PM

Why is it that every time Lebron joins a team, that team is totally built around him and whenever he doesn't play, that team can't win for shit. The Cavs without Lebron this year is easily the worst team in the NBA, maybe the worst defensive team in the history of the game. Yet, the Lakers without Lebron is actually worst than the Cavs.

thomorino · 01-14-19, 06:01 PM

The problem with firing Walton is their aren't any top level replacements available and Magic Johnson knows Walton is popular with the fans from his playing days. It works well for Magic too, whenever the Lakers suck the media blames Luke not Magic Johnson, even though most of Johnson's free agent signings like Rondo and Stephenson have been busts.
