On one hand, it's good to see Monty Williams get a chance, on the other, I wouldn't wish being the Lakers coach on an enemy. Get that contact guaranteed Monty

It'll be hilarious if the Kings hire Walton now and finish with a better record than the Lakers next season.

When do they float Uncle Dennis as the coach? Might as well go Hail Mary and hope Uncle and daddy ball cancel out

Ty Lue would be the worst hire for them tbh. Lebron had already turned Lue out in his last year in Cleveland. Lebron also did all the same shit he did this year in LA but for the Cavs and Lue didnt do shit about it.

[baseline bum]

:lmao Buss family is Fredos all the way down

next thread: Lakers hire LeBron to be first ever player-GM

[phxspurfan]

Also, really dumb Art of War style. Why not let Magic fire Like to be the bad guy, then fire Magic because he was "so mean" to fire Luke? This just makes Laker ownership look even worse

Lakers will luck into draft choice and get Butler and will be back to being partially relevant

[Chillen]

LeBron is trying to turn Lakers into Cavs West. This is laughable, should have stayed with Cavs and been loyal. Could have flown to LA to film Space Jam 2. Lakers are a dumpster fire at this point thanks to LeBron.

Their fans thought the lakers were playing chess when in actuality they’re playing candyland

Lue!?!?!? Looks like Jeannie and others in the Lakers' front office missed the 2017 and 2018 NBA finals. LeBron takes a breather in a game halfway through the third, the Cavs have a 7 point lead and 40 seconds later the Warriors are up by six because Lue can not put together something that resembles a game plan or offensive system.

[RC_Drunkford]

there's a mega thread by salty ass Laker fans on reddit that Pop told Monty Williams to not take the Lakers HC job :rollin


Gambo said on the radio today a coach told him that 1. Monty Williams is being told by gregg popovich to not take the Lakers job and apparently they are really close 2. Monty Williams is apparently extremely interested in the Suns job and they think he will get it 3. He believes maybe the reason why they fired Igor at this time was because they think they had a good chance of getting Monty Williams. Interesting points that surprised me and also I think it would be really funny to take Monty Williams away from the Lakers.

what I said was that Lebron left me and didn't say goodbye. Growing up in Mexico was hard, and it took me years to get over being abandoned already. But coming home to LA and seeing Bron again, that's healing. That's home. That's how we right this ship.

Woj just said that Monty was still completely in the mix for the Lakers job up until he accepted the Suns job.

Gambo says the Lakers were planning on a third meeting with Monty today and may have offered him the job.

Monty wanted the Suns job over the Lakers job.

This is how far the Lakers have fallen.

At some point, they just need to accept that Kobe destroyed their franchise.

Where's the proof that the Lakers offered Monty the job? :lol It's not like he was a great coach anyways (173-221 rec:lolrd).

Ty fits for several reasons. He's a former Laker, so the bright lights won't faze him. He's coached LBJ before and won a title with him - so there's familiarity there. Our "window" to try to try to put a competitive team around LBJ is 3 years.

In my AI voice: we talking bout Monty Williams. Not CIA Pop. Not Phil Jackson. Not Pat Riley. Not even Pringles. We talking bout Monty Williams!! :rollin :lmao :rollin

Disagree, in general. He is pro Black, but in this case, it fits when the league is probably 80-85% Black. Why should the majority of Whiteys be in charge of a mostly Black sport?

Are there any Black head coaches in the NHL? I blindly doubt it. How about MLB? S:lolccer? There are less than a handful in the NFL too. I'm just saying.

[LkrFan]

Well, Ty makes sense. We got 2 years left of Bron being in LA (3rd year is player option). Why waste time on any other coach? Bron is already duly familiar with Ty's system. Now we just have to be smart with our lotto pick (package it with the kids for AD?), one other max, and the rest of the roster. Will need 3 and D players, rebounders, etc. to maximize LBJ's remaining years.

It's better to do that with Ty at the helm and not have an old dog have to learn new tricks.

:lol All these pro-Lue takes will be prime bumping material just like when you hyped up Lonzo Bust, Erubiel.

Non of that has anything to do with whether or not Lebron hates whitey.

It doesn't take NBA level athleticism to coach in the NBA tbh...black coaches are overrepresented in the NBA when compared against the US general population tbh (granted, so are white coaches).

[Play Boban]

He does tbh. First Blatt and now Luke, granted Luke had it coming after 3 non playoff seasons tbh. Blatt got screwed hard though tbh.

I guess LeBron thinks white coaches are like slave owners tbh.

After Blatt was fired for bs reasons, look at the Cavs defensive rating decline steadily...

And yes, the regular season counts in the West.

Now we just have to be smart with our lotto pick (package it with the kids for Marc Gasol?), one other max (Harrison Barnes), and the rest of the roster. Will need actors for Space Jam 2, Melo, etc. to maximize LBJ's remaining playoff outs.

It's better to do that with Ty at the helm and not have to deal with AIDS as the general manager.

Yep, the Suns did indeed beat out the Lakers for Monty:


According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Los Angeles appeared quite close to offering Williams the chance to coach All-Star LeBron James. On The Woj Pod, Wojnarowski said that James did not tell Lakers management that he would prefer Lue, his former coach with the Cleveland Cavaliers, over Williams.

“He didn’t tell the Lakers you have to [hire Lue] because they were ready to move toward Monty Williams,” Wojnarowski said, “and I think the Lakers … never really took seriously the possibility he was going to take the Suns job and he did and I think — I know it surprised them.”

Still spin. He did choose you guys but there is no indication that if Lakers had offred first he wouldnt have taken that. Very hard to believe any black coach is turning down a sure offer over "final canidate status" ...he took the bird in hand.

And im not spinning it he very may have preferred Suns.
Just saying of course he would tell his people (agent) that and of course Suns will spin it that way.
Hey glad he got the job and apparently (hopefully) you guys aremore happy you got a good coach rather than happy he chose Suns over Lakers ...

Its the old "i didnt want her anyways" on both Monty /Lakers side ...

Plus seems silly for Lakers to not expect monty would not give Suns serious consideration ...
But hey, we are shitshow right now so who knows?
