David Blatt firing has implication for Lakers head coach positiion

People forget that Kerr tried to hire Blatt as an assistant coach before Blatt wen to the Cavs. Now that Blatt is free, he can go to GSW and free Luke Walton to be the coach he was born to be in LA with the Lakers

luke is getting a head coaching job offer regardless


and blatt is likely going back over seas since he only came to the nba for a stacked roster. i doubt another stacked team offers him a job


plus he probly doesnt trust nba gm's anymore

GSW didn't try to hire Blatt as an assistant, they actually did, but they let him take the Cavs HC position when it was offered to him.

which is why they had the all time highest paid assistant as their backup plan


it was all planned from the start

no. Griffin wanted Lue, Gilbert wanted Blatt, owner wins but gave griffin a bone and let them keep Lue on. Lue was getting interest from other teams and they had to pony up.

Both were hired well before Lebron made his free agency decision. I'm sure firing the head coach midway through the season within a championship window isn't "planned from the start".


But you know that. You know better.

Woah, Kenny being a moron again?

never change :facepalm
