Nah don’t want a rookie coach, idc who it is. This team has way too much personalities and drama and spotlight for a rookie coach to handle enough to do a decent job imo.
Nah, I like Phil too much and I don’t want to hate him later if it doesn’t work out.
Umm pass on all?
Don’t want none of those dudes.
Should have hired Udoka when we had the chance
Jared Dudley was our GOAT bench warmer. If he can just stay on the bench and keep it warm for our guys, then yeah I can see him as our coach
Phil as head with Rondo and JJ as assistants
Ty lue is being slept on , gimme that +1000
No to players coaches.
His name is Phil too, might be destiny.
Remember Phil Jackson was an assistant in Chicago before becoming head coach
Quin Snyder how?
Is he an FA?
We could have done this 4 months ago, for free. If all we do is promote Handy, this FO will prove that have no idea how to run a team.
If handy is the coach Lebron is basically the Player Coach which might be the best solution until he retires
Phil Handy with Rondo assisting is the best suggestion I’ve heard. I don’t want recycled crap like Adelman or Stotts and I especially don’t want JJ Reddick.
Snyder is the only name I’d consider.
Handy is a player development coach. I don’t see him as a HC. Why do we need to settle for a rookie? I’m sorry but the Lakers make enough money to go and poach anybody in the league. Stop being cheap.
Jared Dudley?? FR BRO??
Doesn’t Juwan now have a new job??
I would love having Snyder, but I don’t think he wants to be on the Lakers enough time quit Atlanta, and I don’t think Atlanta will let him go.
The second best option there for me is Kenny Atkinson.
i mean… didn’t phil help darvin with the rotations?
Phil autographed a 2020 championship ball for me. He’s a great dude and would get my vote.
JJ Redick on the list?
If it is the case, they should have done it 3 months ago. We might still be enjoying playoff basketball for a few weeks.
Says who tho?
I like Jerry West’s guy, Quinn.
Can they just stop fucking around and hire a guy to stand there and let lebron be the de facto HC.
HC: Snyder
Assistants: Hollins, Rondo, Reddick, Handy, McMillan
I want Phil to remain in his role as player development. I just hope he’s still here if they bring in someone else.
Another rookie coach would be a dumb idea
Is he an X’s and O’s guy? Lakers need a strategist, not another rah rah Darvin Ham guy.
if there is one thing ive learned is that no one here knows wtf theyre talking about in regards to coaching lmao
Love Phil, but if they hire Phil the Buss brothers have my blessing to start a mutiny because we couldve done that move months ago and if it didn’t work out, it would’ve been OK because it would have been under the interim label
Ty Lue and Klutch need to force their way to the Lakers. Why are they settling for player coaches?
Hrrr hmm.. if I were the manager this would be my interview.
1. Which position are you applying for?
2. Are you currently employed?
3. Can you provide me with offensive playbook?
4. Are you an offensive or defensive coach?
5. If you were given any one player in the league to start your franchise with— who would it be? and why?
6. If see an employee eating snacks in another cubicle while you’re giving a presentation, how do you handle it?
7. Are you a giver or taker?
Mike Krzyzewski
Juwan Howard will be a bigger clown show than Ham. Just came off an abysmal season
Imagine AD and Bron in the triangle 🤔
More Rookie coaches? Recipe for another disaster smh.
Jesus another rookie coach? I’m fucking done. Handy a solid players development coach what the fuck he gonna do as head coach? Fucking Juwan Howard? Dudley? Jesus
We need him to be our development coach. Can’t afford to lose him being fired as a head coach. Quinn Synder should be top choice
Quin Snyder for me BUT as long as he brings back Handy as his assistant and sign Rondo as the other assistant. That for me is a high IQ staff already.
