Who should Lakers hire as head coach now that they fired Mike Brown?

[shaq2000]

If he loved pulling strings with Kobe/Shaq and Kobe/Gasol, I bet Phil's mouth is watering at the thought of playing with a new chess piece in Dwight.

Dumbest thing you could have said. Aint nobody putting an end to Miami winning championships

Jackson is the wrong choice.

****ing deep analysis.

Lebron will when he walks his ass somewhere else. Lebron's winning titles, not Miami.

[StateOfMind12]

This will be completely up to Phil. If Phil doesn't want to then expect Eddie Jordan to step in as the head coach.

The next 2 moves I predict will be to bring in Dantoni, then trade Pau and Steve Blake to the raptors for Bargs, Gray, John Lucas and Landry Fields.

Nash, Lucas
kobe Meeks
Metta Fields
Bargs, Hill
Howard, Gray

Raps
Lowry, Calderon, Blake
Derozen, Ross
Kleiza, Anderson
Pau, Amir, Davis
Val, Pau

Both teams would appear to be better after that trade. La gets a stretch 4, lucas who can shoot and defend a bit on the ball, Gray, nice size off the bench and Fields as a defender off the bench.
Raps get a go to powerforward and a great inside out combo with Val. Blake takes lucas' role with Toronto.

The guy won 11 championships with 2 superstars at the top and a bunch of role players. You think he's screwing up Kobe, Dwight, Gasol and Nash, even with no training camp? GTFOH. Phil's GOD.

****ing deep analysis.

Having a rough...post 2009.




If Jackson actually came out of retirement, for the Lakers, again...the Lakers don't need someone to come in and take advantage of every forward movement they make. He left LA. He needs a new challenge. It would go very stale, I believe.



Jerry Sloan is a terrific coach and he's itching to coach again. Those Utah teams were always very good, but they were carried but the best duo this side of Michael and Scottie. They also had Hornacek...but while they often had a decent bench, they didn't have many options outside of those 2. This Lakers team has an incomplete bench, but very solid guys in Hill, Jamison, Meeks...and Blake is not as bad as people make him out to be. Sloan would likely maximize him.


Also, his system is perfect for this team...especially because he wouldn't stop Nash from running. His system was always a much better evolution of what the Princeton offense is supposed to be.

How weird would a Van Gundy/Howard reunion in LA be?

so awkward lol

[dirkdiggler41]

His teams are always very hard in their playing style. A lot of great passing from big men to guard cutters. He has that Kobe hardworking mentality that the rest of the team needs, especially Gasol and Howard. He also knows how to use a point guard like Nash.

Scalabrine, Kobe, Dwight, Nash, and Pau

GOAT team...hands down.

I have high standards i expect from you!

I like Sloan but i'm not sure Laker mgmt would like him. He is very abrasive.

Still standing by my choice of Byron Scott. He's a Laker Alumni, always succeeds with a top PG, and empowers smart players like Kobe and Nash.

I mean, he's not an Xs and Os coach but a really good motivator, which is probably all LA needs.

[francesco totti]

jackson wont take the job, because he knows miami will win the title for some years. he will only come back if winning title opportunity represents

It's kind of hard to hire a coach that's already coaching another team. Chances are Lakers just hire one of the assistants to step in like Eddie Jordan.
