View Full Version : Lakers: How Long Till Magic Fires Luke???
You know he's not going to say Longgone Balls is a failure. Luke has to walk the plank if they enter the break with a shit record. I'm thinking Christmas, a Vinny Del Negro thing.

Then they bring in Mark Jackson to "put some discipline and God back into the locker room".

Lakers progressing and looking better each game, despite the loss. He's doing a good job.

Dumb
This is the Lakers, not the 6ers. They haven't been in the playoffs in 4 years. They likely miss this year as well. Jeanie Buss isn't going to want to look like Jim did, she's going to want results and she'll ask Phil for advice and he'll say they need to bring in some better ex-Lakers to coach, because Scott and Walton just weren't good enough. Magic had his shot and we all know how well he did. Time for Kobe to become the head coach.

If the Lakers win 30 or more games this year than they have overachieved. I can't see Luke getting fired if they reach that mark.

That's been said for the past 4 years about Scott and Mike D. Neither of them are around now, and I think both got payouts to leave. You can add Mike Brown to that list even though he actually made the playoffs.

The expectations were higher for Brown, Mike D, and Scott. Magic has been realistic about his expectations of this team. I have heard him say several times that he doesn't expect them to go to the playoffs and that he just wants to win more game. The bottom line is the Lakers have not won 30 plus games in 5 years. If they hit that milestone I can't see Luke getting fired. His best chance of getting fired is next season. I feel the expectations would be for next year is for them to go to the playoffs.

Shaq makes good money as an analyst and Pau is under contract. Who'll piggy back him?

This.
Lakers and Magic have undoubtedly offered LeBron some kings ransom and are positioning for next year. So 30 is more then enough for this year.
Buttsex GM might even be happier with more losses.

They are among many teams still configuring the right combinations but Luke is carving his place on the Lakers with elite defense and effort, something not expected from a team comprised of mostly 1st-3rd year players. Sustaining this level of execution for 71 games will be no small task, but I bet ownership like what they see brewing from their young squad. Luke's job is definitely safe for now.

Lebron tried to get Spo fired in Lebron's 1st year in Miami. Luke is fucked. :lol
tick tock
Some say Lebron missed on purpose, to get Luke fired. Some say he wants a black coach. Maybe Kobe.

Doubt Lebron has any respect for this faggot as a player or a coach.

He was done for once Lebron was signed. Matter of time.

Is that going to make for awkward encounters at Kobes future burqa parties? Or banana boat rides?
Magic ok with letting fellow Luke go as long as it's fellow Kobe?

Nah, Lakers won't move him this soon. They've been playing competitive ball and are just now getting some decent continuity. Luke is highly touted also, and the rooks seem to like him.
If it's December and they're 8-10 games under, yeah, he'll probably be gone. But I seriously doubt they'd drop him this quickly.
Then again, it's the Lakers -- one of the worst FOs in the NBA at the moment.

we better not drop 4 out of our next 5 games and with the kings, blazers, mavs and raptors in the schedule, it's going to be interesting.

Luke may not be the greatest but its not his fault the front office constructed a roster with no rebounders defenders or shooters.
I mean shit they sign Beasley instead of bringing back Lopez. Lopez wasnt great but at least hes sevicable 7 footer off the bench

It'll be a cuck, likely a black one.
The carousel of coaches keeps chugging right along.

I really thought he'd get canned during the season as an excuse for their horrid play. But the Anthony Davis thing derailed the usual excuses.
^You cannot use conventional wisdom to predict what that shit show will do.
You have to wonder who's the next superhero to come along and is going to "save the day". It used to be to take the media focus off of Bryant, so they had a scapegoat. Now it's about taking the media focus off the Buss family. I bet Lebron think the Clippers look pretty good right now.
