Brian Shaw will be the next Laker Coach.

William Walters · 05-13-11, 03:29 PM

What's wrong with M.D.? He's highly respected amongst NBA GM's as well as Lakers brass. He's been named NBA coach of the year, led a team to the NBA finals, was a NBA player, and has coached up 3 sons to D1 university's (one making it to the league).

thezbar · 05-13-11, 03:45 PM

Won't happen. After the Clippers run he's old business in L.A.

thebestthereis · 05-13-11, 03:56 PM

if you are 50 and have coached the clippers for more than 1 quarter you aew immediately 60. mike will be dead in 2 years of old age.

Scorpion · 05-13-11, 04:15 PM

Brian Shaw is a koksuker

romecloneout · 05-13-11, 04:33 PM

they wanted to talk to byron scott, but the cavs wont let them. should hire coach k

HoulihansTX · 05-13-11, 06:28 PM

Its a bad job no matter what.

I dont understand how people are clamoring for the position. You are not going to win the championship next year, and you have to deal with a team full of egos. You will get no credit for winning, and all the blame for the losses.

Derek Fisher is your starting point guard for the next two years, and Dr. Bus is handing the team down to his kid. Nepotism usually ends in disaster, and the Lakers are a time bomb.

goldstein077 · 05-13-11, 06:39 PM

It's going to be adelman all the way. He is a very undderated coach (with Rockets). He is also very gifted at offensive basketball.

I agree. They really need to change the chemistry around and they're locked into Artest and Blake for a ton. (4 million per for Blake)

I `d go with adelman too

thunderingherd23 · 05-13-11, 06:52 PM

it would be so weird to see Adelman coaching the Lakers given he coached that Kings team in 02

TGHMak · 05-13-11, 07:09 PM

Isiah Thomas or Larry Brown...

crustyme · 05-13-11, 07:12 PM

mike did lead the lakers to the finals albeit 20 years ago.

lakers already told shaw to look for other jobs so he isnt going to be hc of lakers. am glad cause I dont think hes ready.

hate adelman, hope they hire ben howland instead.

MendozaLine · 05-13-11, 07:16 PM

Who cares. the fakers are done. Kobe has been on the decline, and only has like 2 good years left.

NY Playa · 05-13-11, 07:50 PM

not happinging...Shaw is the man for atleast 1 year...

.

But he's out of touch with today's game. He makes his players adjust to him instead of doing it the other way around.

pinchylarue · 05-13-11, 07:55 PM

I hope they get coach k from duke

Preston09 · 05-13-11, 08:01 PM

I don't think it matters to much. Now which players will be there next season and for how long, that's the real question.

frostno98 · 05-13-11, 08:01 PM

The Lakers really wanted Byron Scott. Maybe he should resign from the Cavs like Lebrick.

Jasonal_98 · 05-13-11, 08:10 PM

I also saw that Jeff van Gundy might be in the mix. Just can't envision him back on the bench.

thezbar · 05-13-11, 08:21 PM

This was the topic of discussion on L.A. sports radio during drive time. As it turns out M.D. is a family friend of the Buss family. He sat in their private box during last year's title run. He may have the inside track for the job.
The Clipper players quit on him towards the end of his reign there. From a players point of view how can they respect this guy after Phil. The best plan may be to give Brian Shaw one year as most of the key players have contracts for next year.

HoulihansTX · 05-13-11, 08:29 PM

Jack Nicholson.

He would only have to move about 10 feet to the left, and he would be sitting in Phil's old seat.

shady610 · 05-13-11, 08:45 PM

Why no mike brown mention.

Ace_of_Spades · 05-13-11, 08:50 PM

I'd hire Larry Brown.

Tree Rollins · 05-13-11, 08:57 PM

Why not Jeff Van Gundy.

fury · 05-13-11, 09:00 PM

If they hire this cheap suit wearing motherfukker the Lakers are done for good.

Adelman would be a good addition but he's too good for the Fakers. I hate to see him caught up in that circus.

HKT · 05-14-11, 01:02 AM

Gaucho Brian Shaw should get it. He's been around Kobe and Fisher since his playing days.

StraitShooter · 05-14-11, 01:27 AM

I know Im getting old..I remember him as a player on the 76ers.He played with dr j

TheMoneyShot · 05-14-11, 02:01 AM

Honestly... Adelman would be a good fit for the Lakers. I can actually picture him coaching the Lakers. Best Choice from what's available. Unless Cuban Fires Rick Carlisle for losing in the Conference Finals... LMAO!

Then I promise you Carlisle would be your next Lakers coach.

TheMoneyShot · 05-14-11, 02:03 AM

And Brian Shaw??? ZERO CHANCE. Do you think Kobe would listen to SHAW??? LOL JUST... NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Kobe has a say in this... you Betcha...
