    Luke Walton to coach the Lakers...

    I don't really get it, but maybe he'll be a good choice in developing youngsters.

    He isn't much older than them.

    He did great with young Warriors. Wouldn't surprised be if Curry moves to Lakers to take over Kobe's salary.

    He might be a great coach, who knows, but it's hard to suggest he is based on what happened in Golden State.

    JJ could coach that team while combing his hair.

    I ate crabs and lobsters next to him once(captain kidds redondo beach)...

    The way he cracked his crabs, I'm predicting 2-80.

    I am honestly shocked that the Lakers pulled this off. Giant the reason you hire Luke Walton has nothing to do with his coaching, it's his ability to attract young premier players. He will do that.

    Players make coaches and Mr. Walton is going to find out very quickly he's not an NBA coach

    What makes you think he will attract free agents?

    I mean lets face it, the lakers suck balls. The players always make the coaches look good. When the players suck the coach sucks. Luke should of just sat his ass back down as an assistant and waited for a better spot. His triangle bs he learned from phil might win him 20 games.

    Hey G, both grow it out as much as possible and mousse it up to the max w/Paul Mitchell's best products: who ends up with the most hair covering their chrome domes?... Dr. Phil or jj?

    Or... is it just a lost cause completely and both their noggins would just look like a baby's bottom that wasn't wiped properly on the sides during their last nappy change?

    Enquiring & Inquiring minds want to know.



    As for Walton: GOOD HIRE

    Bump this thread 10yrs from now when he's still the coach so I can brag about how prescient I was in 2016.

    This is the easiest answer ever. It's Dr. Phil. It's always Dr. Phil. Just check the parameter of his head, the hair is flowing and it's luxurious.

    JJ has nothing.

    Just like his bankroll. It's barren. Not a single hair follicle.

    Premier free agents do not want to play for retreads and brow beaters. They want young guys who have a nose for the game and can relate to the millenials. Lakers will land at least one big name this year. Who cares if he can coach?

    Good question. We could use a small forward. Maybe LeBron brings a championship back to c town and decided to bring his talents to LA? Is say the likely answer is KD

    When Luke Walton retires from coaching he will be the coach with the most wins in NBA history. He knows how to coach young players something the old coaches don't know.
