Perfect time to do it as they have 5 tough games culminating with that game at Memphis. Let him go as the schedule lightens up and it makes the Brian Shaw promotion look better than it really is.

Or.....they get blown out at Philly today and magic Johnson fires luke immediately

Big ? is who is out there that LeBron will ALLOW to coach his team?

The more I see the utter dysfunction of teams across the league, the more impressed I am by the G.S.W.
I wish KD went elsewhere, but Kerr and Co. are so far ahead of the rest of the league in dealing with todays players and outside obstacles.
1 stupid play/tantrum away from "Not 3, not 4 , not 5, but probably 6 in a row".

Walton a good coach

Vegas gives Lakers best shot in West to beat GSW

That gonna get better w Ty Lue?

krk1030 · 02-10-19, 12:33 PM

Jason Kidd replaicng him are the rumors.

shocka1212 · 02-10-19, 12:36 PM

why would you axe a coach when they didn't trade for AD eliminating them from a championship run? would be pointless.

What’s changing coach going do?

Better odds then Houston/OKC? Lakers might not make the playoff

homie1975 · 02-10-19, 12:41 PM

Only because of LeBron are the odds that way. GSW would beat this current laker squad in 5.

Exactly, which is why their odds vs GSW are meaningless.

The org likes Brian Shaw. I think he take a over for luke THIS season and gets his audition for the balance of the year

You guys are being way too logical. Walton is out the door by the resume of play after the All Star Break.

LeBrat gets whatever he wants. He wants a puppet coach, so he gets to call all the shots.

And BTW, the new coach won't be white. Book it.

Completely different situation. He did not have the horses he would have now

Byron Scott won in NJ and NO but lost in LA and Cleveland. He didn't have LeBron there at either place btw

Denver is always a playoff team most of the time - because of there tremendous home court advantage

Lakers problem is not coaching cuz

I'm not saying it is, but if they don't turn it around in the next 5 to 7 games, Luke will be the fall guy. U can't fire the whole roster so u fire the coach.

They did try 2 trade the whole roster

ikid2groove415 · 02-10-19, 01:47 PM

Lebrenda is calling the shots again - no coach or GM needed - Case closed !!

Wouldn’t Lakers fan rather have Paul George right now? Lebron is a drama bitch

thomorino · 02-10-19, 04:16 PM

They won't fire Walton for a while, they need a scapegoat since the team isn't that good because of their failed attempt to get Davis.

homie1975 · 02-10-19, 07:07 PM

today's thrashing at Philly certainly did not help matters..............

TheMoneyShot · 02-10-19, 07:54 PM

Why wait if they want to axe him? Do it right now.

because they are 28-28 and just got LeBron back a few games ago. you want the public support so as an org you don't look like A-holes

thomorino · 02-10-19, 08:35 PM

He has Jeanie buss's support, and she brought magic in, the brother is a fuk up so she's the one running things for the family, Walton isn't going anywhere unless she changes her mind.

In an interview on Jan 27th she would not commit 100% to saying lukes job is safe. She said that "vision" is magic johnsons.

Ty Lue to Coach lakers after they sacrifice Luke Walton

Magic Johnson would fire Walton without consulting her first, of course she not going to say she'd override magic, but given that she was the one who hired Magic, there's zero chance he'd fire Walton without her approval.

i agree. but now they are 2.5 games out of the eighth playoff spot and let's see how the org reacts if they drop to 4 or 5 games out. LeBron just turned 34. every year is a golden year now that should not and cannot be lost. when's the last time a team that LeBron was on did not reach the playoffs? 2006 ??
