Mike Brown: 1 full season
MDA: 2 seasons
Byron: 2 seasons
Luke: 3 seasons.
I wonder why coaches are a bit wary of committing to the Lakers.

Who cares I get hired and sign a contract for 4 years for 5 mil per year, if they fire me I still get payed and I'm laughing all the way to the bank. The life of a coach or manager in sports is; what have you done for me lately. One day they're in love with you next day your gone.
My point is when you go into coaching you know most likely it's a short term job, but the money is there. |

| Quote: | This set the stage for a traumatic tenure for Blatt. In fairness, this was not the team he had been hired to coach, as James had signed and the young player Blatt was primarily hired to develop, Andrew Wiggins, had been traded to acquire Kevin Love.
"David was hired to coach a developmental team and young players who would've wanted to please him," one team source said. "He ended up coaching a finished product where the players expected him to please them."
To complicate matters, the Cavs hired the runner-up for the job, Lue, to be Blatt's assistant. To keep him away from the Clippers, the Cavs gave him a record four-year, $6.5 million deal -- for an assistant. Gilbert would later call the coaching staff the best he had assembled in his time as owner. |

It sure does! |
Yes, it does. It sounds like the Cavs season when they hired David Blatt. |

Trust us when we say you're not the type of person who would be hired to be an NBA coach and that this is a worthless perspective. You want people who are driven to be successful, not "laughing all the way too the bank either way." We're not looking for Coach Andrew Bynum. |

My hunch is that if Pelinka was really the guy running things, we would have hired a coach by now, it took the Kings 24 hours to get Luke and it’s taken us basically 2 weeks without getting a coach and don’t appear close to getting 1.
So to me this means that Pelinka is being asked to do the interviews but isn’t gonna hire anyone because we want to first get a POBO. |

He hasnt interviewed Lue or Howard yet...how can he hire a coach? It’s going to move slow....if there’s a POB in place they’ll discuss and make a decision. It’s not going to happen in the next 2 days. Give it at least a week or 2. |

Twilight zone experience continues... if the Lakers accept this circumstance they are in bigger trouble than I thought.
Franchise may have to have a change of ownership to get back to where it was...a proud iconic winning organization. |
My feelings exactly. Assuming these "reports" are true, I don't want the Lakers to be some novice coach's sloppy seconds. We need people in here that think of coaching the Lakers as a Number 1 priority and a privilege, not some fallback job, dammit. |
The Lakers FO need to get their house in order. It's on them to stop looking like inept fools in the public eye. They need to round out their FO team with respected and experienced professionals as well as putting an end to this constant stream of inhouse details being leaked out to the media every time someone so much as sneezes. If they can have success in those endeavors, the appeal of coaching the team will come along with it. |

Yeah, hiring a coach who is just there for the money is a solid idea.

I think Jeanie and Lakers FO have done a good job keeping POBO discussions private.
The less they leak the better, imo.
The leaks this season were a nightmare and played a big role in sabotaging season. |

I agree with this. That’s why the media is going nuts not knowing what’s happening and insisting it’s dysfunctional and toxic. No one can combat silence. So they’re left to speculate. Do we need a damage control statement? Maybe...especially after Magic’s cowardly and unprofessional exit. Let’s see what happens. Hopefully we’ll be pleasantly surprised. |

What rock have you been hiding all of this time? They're all mostly there for the money because they know the minute things go south they're gone. Not saying they don't want to win and succeed but unless you're Pop, (who has years of being successful and a great reputation), or Kerr (who has a fantastic championship lineup that can win by itself), the job of coaching usually averages 2-4 years so you get the max you can get. |

I think keeping quiet is the best thing they can do. The thing I like the least about Magic was his big mouth. It was hard for him because of his talkative personality. |

the rumor of Monty for President of Basketball Ops
and Lue or Howard for coach is interesting
maybe Pelinka wants to go back to being an agent. Being a GM is not fun

I think the coach is going to be either Monty Williams, or Ty Lue. I don't see Williams as a president of basketball ops. Obviously a second meeting with Williams show they have some mutual interest.
Personally Williams makes sense, he's a very good development coach who works well and is respected by young players, and he also has some experience with LBJ and veterans. The year he made the playoffs, I thought his defense was outstanding, and he got the most out of his players. |
