    Lakers to axe luke Walton after grizzlies game 2/25 ?

    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".

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

    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

    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 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.

    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.

    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 ??
