LeBron doesn't deserve to pick the coach for the Lakers. This a such a bad look.
My sincere hope is the we surround Lue with veteran NBA coaches who actually understand the coaching profession and are capable of stepping into the role when the time comes. |
Who would you have preferred that we hire? Kidd? Williams? Mark Jackson?
I'm not one to defend upper management whatsoever, but this isn't a bad move.

In all serious how do you even justify feeling this way
The man is a winner |
I mean....could it not work out? Sure
but....the guy DOES have a winning resume and he has some of his best wins against the top teams.
He needs players.....but we could do a lot worse |
Did you just have a conversation with yourself? |

That's true, forgot that Ty Lue would be the first coach LA has hired since Phil Jackson that has actually coached a team to the Finals and won it all. Mike Brown (Cavs) and Byron Scott (Nets) took teams to finals, D'Antoni nearly got to the finals. Luke, well, was an assistant coach when the Warriors won the finals. |

I guess it depends on what you consider to be credible. Myself and plenty others have major doubts about Lue. He's only being considered for the job because of LeBron. Let that sink in... If Lue was all that you guys say he is, then his options should have been far greater than coaching the Lakers. He should be off the market and we should be stuck with Walton or pursuing Jeff Van Gundy or Larry Bird.
I'm not one to mince words... The Lakers are making a major mistake. Lue is not a showstopper and whether he is here now or after the playoffs is irrelevant. The Lakers should be waiting to see who comes available.
And I did finally watch the video posted on Lue's offense. That Five Out offense is NBA 2K garbage. I cannot believe we're supposed to be excited over this? That garbage worked in the East. It will not work against Western Conference teams four times a year plus the playoffs.
And how are we going to post up LeBron in the West and pass to non shooters? LeBron doesn't command a double team from the post and he cannot make free throws. So what is the plan? We're going to freaking trade for Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson after we sign Kemba. That's the plan. Then we're going to continue changing the course of the Caldwell-Pope lineage by giving out more free money. _________________ “There are no limits.

He's the best available (unless you plan to get AD, in which case you throw money at Monty because of their relationship), and he's better than Walton, but sure he's no superstar coach.
Much better than signing Kidd though. |

I'm not happy with this hire but I guess it's okay. I mean, he does know how to make things work around Lebron, right? |

^He probably has an idea. A few years back when David Blatt had issues making it all fit in CLE, Ty Lue took over and they won it all that year. |

So you dont think he might be being considered because of the numerous consecutive nba finals he made it to or the one that he actually won (beating a super team to do it)
Who else has that resume that is actually available |

None of Lue's previous accomplishments count obviously. |

The only two teams to beat or challenge the Golden State Warriors in the past handful of years both ran five out sets in their offense: Cavs and Rockets.
The Bucks went 20-10 against the west this year (equivalent to 54 wins over an 82 game season. They beat the Rockets/Nuggets twice and split their games against the Warriors, Spurs, Clippers, and Blazers. The idea that five out can't win in the west is not founded on any data. |

Death Los Angeles’ stats have been officially maxed out. He’s like a 1000th level Troll with maxed HP, infinite Stamina, and topped off Attack/Defend/Magic. All those years grinding away on LG must have payed off. |

Uh oh sounds like Jason Kidd is coming... don't tell GT.

So we went from Lue and a strong coaching staff to Jason (bleep) Kidd? Wonderful. |

Lue and his representatives declined the Lakers offer of 3-years, $18 million. Lue was seeking five years. per source _________________ Tacos |

Lol Lue rejects the Lakers.
Can't believe how cheap we are. The logic is that since he is being paid by the Cavs so we shouldn't pay market value is logic by idiots |

Lue got a 5 year $35million contract from CLE and Ohio's income taxes are less than CA's. All part of the negotiation. Looks like the Lakers may have been using Monty to lower Lue's salary demands.
