[Banzai]

Better he take the easy way out. Question know is..coaching shouldn't be too big since the team will be garbage next year

[jeebus]

Gee. What a shock.

[Expert]

Doesn't he have a longer contract though?

I hear Vinny Del Negro is available... and Scott Brooks might be available as well as Frank Vogel.

[ElNono]

Well, that sucks

[Trainwreck2100]

Why would he leave all that money on the table?

[baseline bum]

Wonder how much the buyout was.

[Shastafarian]

Would be a good Spurs assistant coach.

[baseline bum]

Time to hire Mark Jackson

[DMX7]

Does he think another team is actually going to pick him up as their head coach?

[MeloHype]

Doesn't he have a longer contract though?

I hear Vinny Del Negro is available... and Scott Brooks might be available as well as Frank Vogel.is McHale available?

[Malik Hairston]

Great move by Big Mike, tbh..

Lakers have the worst roster in the Western Conference, there are very few coaches that could have done better with that embarrassing collection of players..I can't wait until the Lakers hire Byron Scott:lmao..

[Malik Hairston]

The NBA is a league where terrible coaches that are far worse than D'Antoni continue to get head coaching jobs:lol..

[whitemamba]

Lol buckets.

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Another quitter on the Lakers, just like the 48.5 quitter shooting guard....

Can't wait for the Byr:loln Sc:loltt era :tu

Not yet.

Still remember when Kidd said his ugly-ass son could have outcoached Byron in Game 6 of the Finals when Scott blew all their timeouts. :lol

[HemisfairArena]

Everyone knows the Lakers paid this dude to quit so they don't look bad firing another coach early in his contract. I just hope the Lakers hire Byron Scott,,,,another fraud of a coach.

LMAO,,,,how is Denver doing? Worst thing Denver did was fire Karl for Shaw.

Are you retarded? They had their entire roster out with season-ending injuries...

Another guy ran outta town by you-know-who...

LMAO,,,,how is Denver doing? Worst thing Denver did was fire Karl for Shaw.

To be fair, Iguodala left, Gallo was out for the year, JaVale was out for the year, and Andre Miller was being a team cancer per par....

Karl is the Marty Schottenheimer of the NBA, everyone is fooled by his regular seasons but he is clueless in the postseason unless he has the overwhelming talent advantage.... he lost a WCF because he literally had zero inbounds plays :lol

Just because he was replaced with an even more pathetic coach does not change the reality of his shitstained 5-13 postseason record.... hell, even Norv went to an AFC title game, which is more than Marty ever did in San Diego :lol

I've heard stories of Marty literally shaking with fear before playoff games and having to be calmed down by his assistants :lol

honestly not abad idea, with their shooters and passers. though I wondered if they were going to give that job to Scalabrine since they're keeping him around, but D'Antoni would be an improvement over both since Scal needs more experience.

Better check Pop's ass instead. He's the one who took Duncan out of the game at the end.

[Malik Hairston]

If the Lakers are planning on letting Kobe chase points records, Byron Scott would be perfect, tbh, he doesn't run an offensive system, it's just the star player dribbling..

[baseline bum]

Everyone knows Scott is Kobe's choice. LOL if the Lakers get bullied in their coaching search the same way they were with 48.5.

Losing is losing. They play zero defense now.

LOL they asked Kobe what he thought about the news he said "No reaction" :lol

[usdane]

My list of potential coaches for the Lakers in no particular order.

Tom Thibodeau - Things may not be so "Rosie" right now in Chicago.
Lionel Hollins - Was great in Memphis and really fired for no reason.
Jeff Van Gundy - Good defensive coach.
Brian Shaw - Overachieved with injury ridden Nuggets team.
Derek Fisher - Total wild card. But I could see the Lakers giving him a chance.
John Calipari - Would he leave wildcats for the Lakers.

[Mugen]

How many is that for Coach Killer Bryant? Probably like 7+ if you count him running Phil off a couple of times tbh

-Bulls aren't letting Thibs walk. he was forced to run his offense around fucking Noah :lol

-Hollins would be probably the worst possible fit for Kobe. not gna happen

-I think JVG is their best choice, but it's not like he's going to turn them around in 1-2 years. the roster has to be fixed first

-Shaw is too much an unknown to be given the gig. I also don't see why Denver would let him go

-Fisher would be a total Kobe choice :lol. is it even a lock that he's retiring?

-Calipari would make a hell of a splash, but he'd clash with Kobe big time

[Venti Quattro]

Lionel Hollins - Was great in Memphis and really fired for no reason.

He was fired for shouting at GM John Hollinger in practice

The most important key in the Lakers coaching search is that the candidate should be someone who Kobe respects or else it's useless. He didn't respect Brown at all and he just probably lost all his respect for Mike D'Antoni. Shaw or Scott are the clear favorites because of this.

If the Lakers can pull off a miracle to hack Krzyzewski away from Duke then that's better

On half a salary cap after Kobester the Teamster.

[ambchang]

Even though we had been making fun of three first names consistently the last couple of years, he really isn't as horrible a coach as advertised.

He will likely never win a championship, but that doesn't make him a bad coach. Don Nelson won a championship, Larry Brown never won a championship before Detroit, but they are still great coaches. Now three first names isn't close to as good a coach as those two, but he does have an amazing offensive system that changed the way the game was played today. He desperately needs to work on defensive plays, and he most definitely has to exhibit some leadership abilities, but that could be said about 2/3 of the league's head coaches.

Also, what head coach would want to go coach the Lakers now?
- Coach killer with backing from management? Check
- Horrible talent? Check
- Questionable future prospects? Check
- Management internal clashes? Check

It's pretty much the worst possible situation for a coach, which means that only untested/unwanted coaches would give it a shot.

[Mugen]

:lol Adelman, Karl, Byron Scott, Hollins, or any retread NBA coach would be a terrible fit for this team tbh.

The Lakers would be much better off pulling a young and upcoming coach like Boston did with Stevens. Somebody like Ollie or even D-Fish would be better choices than proven NBA losers like the above.

They need somebody to trick Kirb into thinking he's in charge while still being able to develop their younger players and try to establish a system for when after Cancer retires tbh.

[The Gemini Method]

John Calipari is now on the list of taking over the Lakeshow. :lmao
