More important to the Lakers? Getting Luke or getting rid of Kobe?

[kurple]

What do you think?

[ClipperRevival]

Getting rid of Kobe for sure. That's like the absolute WORST scenario for any young team trying to develop. But both situations led to a synergistic effect.

[pedromarinho]

Getting Luke, because Luke would get rid of Kobe.

On the other hand, getting rid of Kobe wouldn't get them Luke.

[LALakerFan4Life]

Getting rid of Byron Scott.

[qrich]

Acquiring Luke.

He wouldn't have taken shit from Kobe like Scott did, so the latter is moot.

50/50
Both Kobe and Byron Scott are cancers to young developing talent.

I dont see the scenario where Luke wouldnt still be Kobe's bitch

[Unreal234]

Kobe was done after the achilles rupture, but lets not forget he netted tons of profit for the Lakers when he was able to play. Byron was hired to babysit him and tank for high draft picks. Win-win scenario for everyone.

I see it more as a passing of the torch than anything. Prime Kobe in Luke's system would still be fun to watch.

Both

Luke... the real coty

[Fedor - Laker]

Both
For the longest time the lakers ran with the araciac idea of paying $$$$ for Few all star players and then filling the remaining roster spots with subpar vets and rookies. Although that might sound a bit contradictory with deng and moz

NBA just like everything else in sports evolves. Teams don't revolve around a single
Talent anymore, it's going back to game strategy and team synergy.

as a long time lakers fan, it's finally a fresh of breath air watching team play for once and each member of the team contributing.

Most of these laker fans weren't and still aren't fans of the team, they were fans of Kobe, that's the fcking problem. Straight cancer lol

Getting Luke.

Be honest, could you imagine Kobe allowing Luke to coach him? He'd probably retire after hearing about the hiring.

Byron Scott was a good tank commander. Lakers though were desperate to sign big free agents year after year but I'm glad they were not able to because at the end of the day, they would have not accumulated those young talents that's now part of the core.

Now this team reminds of the Lakers before Shaq and Kobe came along.

[Xiao Yao You]

getting rid of Kobe. They are at least interesting to watch now

[Sarcastic]

Getting rid of Kobe. The young kids couldn't develop with him there.

[Human Error]

Getting rid of Kobe.

Can you imagine getting tortured by a 35% shooter who missed the most shots in the league history and didn't even pretend to defend for not passing him the ball?

Now you can see how Russell, Clarkson, Randle and Nance look more comfortable and relieved on the floor.

[GimmeThat]

watching the record of how the Grizzles have performed versus how the Knicks are about to compete.

wow, Luke Walton gets his own thread.
