Lakers: Luke Walton has agreed to become the next head coach of the Lakers

[spursistan]

remind me how did "offensive genuis" Alvin Gentry look without Curry this season ..

The Warriors were on a in' autopilot this season that it wouldn't matter who you put there in charge in Kerr absence...Reggiee Theus/John Kuester would have "coached" their way to +20 win streak with the way Wardell and the rest of the crew came out of the gates....jury still very out on Luke boy..

[djohn2oo8]

So after they interviewed Walton, they cancelled all their other interviews

I been saying that a while now...Curry getting all these scrubs jobs.... is crazy stupid ass GM's and Owners out there...

[Killakobe81]

watch them sign Barnes to a max

Probably after Durant says thanks, but no thanks.
Hope Lakers get this one right
The Kerr tree is growing two head coaches in two years that is popovichian ...

Kool, calm down outcside of tibs Luke was the highrst in demand coach and we got him. He has played for or coached with Phil, Lute olsen and kerr he may be fine.

Truth is we dont know yet but he cant be as bad as Byron or Mike Brown.
We got a wigga coach bkack voice .. white face.

[Molotov]

Watching this Lakeshow dumpster fire should be fun next season, as they continue to stay in the lottery year after year.

and apparently Jim Buss and Kupchak are great evaluators of coaches as their track record speaks for itself.

Derek Fisher worked with Phil too....the Lakers would have been off hiring Michael Cooper or Kareem if they wanted to continue the Nepotism route.....

Kevin Ollie was the man for the job period

Yeah Kevin Ollie is very intriguing. Hope he gets a shot soon.

This is their problem..after all the ups over the years they've lost ALL credibility....they hire the first man in the door....dont do their due diligence and this is exactly why this is a BAD hire...these stupid ers just don't learn

[djohn2oo8]

Good God there is a giant semen cloud over this hiring at LG

[Stephen A. Smith]

This is not my idea of a head coach...

Quite frankly that looks exactly like the kind of guy that could coach even a pro like you on giving head.

[spurraider21]

I approve of this hire.

Dear Spurstalk

Well folks, it's been a long sordid journey amongst the filth and fury of the Spurs forum. At the end of the season I too will be retiring and just like my boy Kobe has stated. The time is right, and the time will be at the end of the season. I'll be doing a cursory check on this board from time to time and will review the past 12 years as the voice of reason and resolve on all things Kobe and Laker related. While my bball a en has gone unchecked, it will be the little things that keep me up at night, but rest easy my friends for we will all see the light....

And that’s OK.
I’m ready to let you go.
I want you to know now
So we both can savor every moment we have left together.
The good and the bad.
We have given each other
All that we have.

If this is true we are done as a viable basketball organization.....they see the success of Golden State and for some odd reason thinks this is a good idea....Heres a novel idea Jim and Chazz...how about giving Jerry West is ing credit for putting together a great team in GS instead of knee jerk hiring its second rate assitant thinking he's actually a good coach on the strength of Curry.....

Luke is as bout a good a coach as he was a player...this nepotism in LA is absolutely sickrning....total dumbasses running the show....

Kool making sense is a sign that the end of the world is upon us.

[Killakobe81]

Relax, kool

[Banzai]

Walton will go the way of Mr. Potato Head and Pringles

[Koolaid_Man]

Kool making sense is a sign that the end of the world is upon us.

I'm never gonna cheer for them as long as they got D'angelo Camera on the team...I hate that guy bout as much as I loved Kobe....that video recording sealed the deal for me....I just can't cheer for him...I tried but I just cant..to set up your teammate like that to ask leading questions to draw him out....man I will never root for him he can off tbh....

You forgot Brian Shaw

[Koolaid_Man]

Relax, kool

I'm mad as Killa.....very mad

Gentry also inherited D'Antoni's Suns, reached the WCF then got fired when Amare left town. (Del Negro is a better coach than Gentry)

Luke Walton should be a decent coach, all he knows is the bench
