LA Lakers set to pursue Tom Thibodeau

[imnew09]

I'm surprised they'd give up on Byron this quickly. There is no doubt that Thibs is a better coach but do the Lakers want to be paying 2 coaches?

You mean 4 Bruh?



Lakers Nation. Rich Nation That TWC contract is sweet man

[no pun intended]

Fvck byron scott and his kobe dick-sucking. They only hired him because he's kobe's personal bitch, and will kiss his ass all day everyday

Byron was a good tank commander, but I don't think he's going anywhere..
See what he does with a bit of talent first..

Thibs would destroy our roster there is zero chance he is headed to LA..

RIP Kobe (40 MPG)

[Eric Cartman]

Only if we getting Butler 2

[Optimus Prime]

All this hate for Scott is ridiculous. What was he supposed to accomplish with this D League roster especially after Kobe got hurt?

As for Thibs, no thank you. I really don't want 38 year old Kobe playing 45 minutes a game.

Scott can't coach this team...he'd be a good assistant tho a good players coach if you will...not worth waiting another year to get rid of him imo.

Thibs is the kind of coach that has what it takes to win a ch'ship no doubt.

look at what he did to Noah, Deng, Rose, Butler, Taj, etc

these guys were nothing befor thibs came along and installed a system.

bring in a good offensive coordinator a la Gentry and we're set.

[G0ATbe]

Nice. Getting him will better our chances of getting butler too .

[PickernRoller]

is it me or is thibodeau a little overrated?

He's somewhat. His teams show grit, grind and defense...but not a working offense.

[Lebron23]

Hire him as an assistant coach. He's a very good defensive coach, but a terrible offensive coach.

Mike Brown > than him.

Scott was doghousing the hell out of his players (even the veterans). There seems to be absolutely no chemistry whatsoever with this team, and a lot of it is the coach clashing with his players. I used to like Scott a lot when he was coaching CP3, but he has been awful these past few years coaching Cleveland and now LA.

no he wasn't.. stop talking about stuff you have no clue about


When it became clear the Lakers were not going anywhere this season the front office and coaching staff decided it would be better to develop talent first over getting guys who aren't even going to be on the roster next year playing time...

this was reported and discussed by the media more than once

[Taller than CP3]

Lakers are doing this on purpose to try and get Kobe to retire early.

The faster his knees go, the better.

I don't get where this myth of Thibs running his players to the ground with mpg comes from.

None of his players during his time in Chicago played 40mpg or more whereas all these legends that had long and healthy primes/careers: MJ, Pippen, Kobe, Shaq, Lebron, Hakeem, Iverson, Payton, KG, Duncan, Malone, Kareem, West, Wilt.... the list goes on forever.

The highest mpg Rose ever played in a season was 37.4. Lebron averages 39.3 mpg for his CAREER.

RIP Kobe (40 MPG)
