Bro don’t tell me nothing about dlo He’s good but not good enough

Wonder what offensive and defense lakers will run now

why shouldnt we take JJ? the way we just TOSS coaches to the side once they "dont perform", if yall havent noticed, people are not very fond of coming to us..... thats the truth.

I'm really in wait and see mode.... acorrding to the media, whoever we hired was going to be fired in 2yrs anyways 🤷🏾🖤💜💛

Congratulations JJ for becoming Lebrons assistant

4 years? FO always over pay on high risk moves. But they wanna low ball any decent once. What about monty? I think hes better than reddick

DLo. Ideal would be if DLo opts OUT. Then resigns on a longer term lower salary per year contract. I think this would make him a more attractive trade option, BUT it may help address the Lakers need. I think he understands his role now. In the Playoffs he will most likely NOT be a starter, but regular season he can ball out. Are the Lakers gonna get a better playmaking and scoring guard for his current contract, NO. Get him for a lower price, as his market it low. Shop for deals centered around Rui, Vincent, JHS, Wood and picks.

A positive take... A LOT of people are losing their minds over the coaching situation, making it FAR more dramatic and over bloated than what is reality. Did they go after Hurley, and he rejected them, sure. But stop acting like Hurley's decision was about the Lakers. His decision was about he and his family really wanting to stay. It's that simple. He didnt pick another NBA team, he chose to chase something special to him in staying with UConn. NBA fans made it out to be some Telenovela, where the actual drama was between Woj and Shams. Now that the drama is over (well the "who gets the job" drama) lets discusss some positives 1) NONE of the available options had much HC experience, most had zero as HC in NBA. So the gap in experience is NOT as big as people are making it out to be. YES, JJ has zero professional experience as an NBA coach. But they all had little to no exp as a HC in NBA. Just look at Ham, he has AC exp and was the WORST HC. 2) MOST important is that the Lakers Front Office has stated that they are looking for a coach not just for the immediate needs, but the long term future. AND, they are looking to create a PROGRAM. This was revealed in the Hurley hiring process, and it has been reiterated since. So it appears to be the first time we have seen ANY long term vision and focus. It not only states a move away from chasing a 3rd star to a steady focus on building out their core and not only keeping continuity, but UNLIKE HAM, utilizing and executing this continuity. Just look at how he has progressed as a podcaster and traditional NBA analyst in a short period of time. Mind the Game is the most recent podcast, but he has been doing podcasts for years, and has progressed greatly in a short time period. 3) EVERYTHING we have SEEN from JJ has been a steadfast love of the game, a competitive dog-like mentality, an extremely high basketball IQ that appears to grow, and a grinding hard work ethic. 4) EVERYTHING we have HEARD from former coaches, staff, and team mates has been extremely positive. ALL the above have been reiterated and elaborated upon. Furthermore, many have mentioned that he became somewhat of a player-coach in his latter years. 5) JJ Separates himself in that he has charisma. He can be dog. He has attitude, and confidence. None of the others have that kind of "aura" or "presence". They are merely safer options at best. None of them are exciting in ANY way. Hurley was the only one, however, deep down, it seems he always knew he would stay. 6) You can tell when people WANT it. JJ wanted THIS job. Dan had to be convinced and that was obvious. Hurley, had a number in his head, BUT he never countered. ANYONE who has been in a hiring position can tell you, that is an enormous sign, this person doesn't really want it. Lakers were right to not overpay Hurley and make him the 5th highest paid coach in the league, for a coach who has not been in the league. Make no mistake, hiring JJ is a risk. But it is a good risk to take. The other options are only slightly less of a risk, with much less payoff

Lakers circus Leclown

LaBron is a very good player hands down but he and Klutch sports have this Organization in a Head lock 🔐 and it just Sad to see 👀 what kind of a clown 🤡 show that we have become 😢😢

This is a Bad 👎🏿 Hire 😤 the Lakers organization now looks like a Dog chasing his tail 😳 we need someone with experience these kind of inefficiencies would have NEVER happened under Dr. Buss

If the hire doesn't go well does Jeanie have the balls to fire rob?

if JJ doesn't work out i ain't blaming Rob, there's no outstanding candidate anyway i'd rather take the risk rather than hire a mediocre one. what i do blame him for is failing to get Ty Lue and the Westbrook trade.

I think coaching experience is somewhat over-rated. The great coaches are not available because they are already running contending teams. The older ones that are still available haven't worked out. As long as the coach is smart and a good communicator, go for it...

I'm starting to like it.... Young meat 😅

It doesn't matter who they hire, see what happen with long time asst coach Darvin Scam! If the GM and the owner are too CHEAP and clueless in putting a competitive roster, any coach will fail regardless of experience.

IT JUST GOT GOOD, I CAN FEEL IT.🫡🫡🫡

Folks are overthinking this way too much. It's business we see it all the time in the Business world..don't let these talk shows redirect you.. Hurley wasn't coming the offer was fair..what yall wanted the lakers to make him the highest paid coach or in the top 3? No way! That's Pop, Kerr & Spo territory he ain't them..never coached an NBA Game...has no idea what 3 games in 4 nights feels like...can't tell grown men "get in my huddle" Can't have 2 hour full court practices during 6 games in 10 days road trips..Imagine him trying to intimate NBA offical scot foster the way he hoses down that NCAA officals.. He was all fake news..he wanted to drive his price up.. Lastly name one just won college Coach that came to the NBA with no NBA experience as a player ,assistant NADA and took a team to the NBA finals..

To folks who keep saying the next candidate gonna be in their feelings...yall think Tom Brady was when Belichek drafted him in the 6th round? He had five other chances to draft him earlier.. Did he tell Bill no thanks I wasn't your first choice?

This guy Allen followed me on instagram and I followed him back and he unfollowed me. Character flaw IMO.

LA management is a train wreck and the fix will be long and hard . Coaching that is not attractive. Add Labron to the mix and whoa.

The issue is not a coach nor Bron or AD, please get decent defensive guards on this team, you can't win with what you put out there last year, AR and DLo can't be on the same team it's malpractice. Pritchard and Hauser on Celtics have no better athleticism yet they defend their butts off, its simple get rid of the bad defense and you got a chance to go far, period.

28:20 bless you!!!

When a man forgets he’s a man ,that man loves Disney and plays with slime!!! -- Mauercio Deleon -- Fer and Mau squad!!

Guy was already happy with no reason leave except money and now he gets more. Offer was great can't offer 8 years for no Pro level experience. That would be nuts. 😮

Rob can’t close a deal to save his life. The only times he has looked good was with Klutch’s help. Execs around the league didn’t like him as an agent and don’t feel sorry for him to cut him any favors. Only relationship he ever built was with tommy shepherd in washington and he’s not there anymore

The front office made the organization a laughing stock, is like the Lakers don't mean much anymore at least if he really dijtn Want to come make him.reject 6 year 85 mill, keep some pride for u fan base for u organization and stop being cheap man, at the 3nd of the day the fans are buying tickets, are paying for the league pass and Lakers merch the least u can do is not humiliated u fan base

He needed to be paid close to Kerr to be enticed to leave UConn

Bad leadership

JJ Reddick is not the answer, Pat Riley was a champion with the Lakers with the 72 Lakers and was with the organization as an assistant under Westhead so he knew the organization, the players when he took over as head coach. The Lakers need a coach that was a winner as a player and knows the Laker organization. Rondo is the best selection.

I agree it was a great economic strategy, but the transition to the pros is not that easy Hurley probably knew his personality would not fit coaching pro athletes.

Just like when you ask a woman to marry you and she asks to think about it….move on!!

Just git rid of lebron finally so we can rebuild. 40yo lbj isn't going to lead us to any championships

what in the everloving fuck has Monty Williams done?

If the Lakers get Jay right it's a huge win. Jay Wright accomplished everything you can in the time you can coaching in college basketball. Jay Wright versus Dan Hurley I'll take Jay right every time

Bring Vogel back rondo handy as assistants

the lakers are done. it is a dysfunctional organization. rob and jeanie have done such a horrible job. what have they produced? and you cant count 2020 as a legit championship considering what happened in 2020, not to mention they were playing in a "bubble" and now the two choices are JJ or Borrego. pathetic. i see the same pattern as i did with Ham and Vogel. what can the lakers do? nothing. they are going to more likely hire someone who has no coaching experience. someone that does podcasts with lebron. it is not a good look for the lakers. and bad times to be a laker fan. el lay is done.

No one even thought about this dude before woj mentioned him, let's be honest. I don't even care honestly.

The next guy they talk to how's he going to feel when publicly he knows he.might be the 5 or 6 option down the coaching search

Sam Cassell...the marathon continues

Steve Ballmer would’ve closed the deal. Not the first time Jeanie cheaped out.

Woj just proved what I have been saying for years Sports media has no integrity Just like the legacy media

I just miss the days when my sense of entitlement as a Lakers' fan was well founded. But once again we got Kawhi Leonard'd. Sadly I think it is time the team gets new ownership. Jeanie only inherited the name

I dont know what's the WWE aspect of the story, Which side was fake or maybe both side, but as soon as they started to talk about "his monday decision", it was clear that it wouldnt be signing for the Lakers... Again.. there is clearly a fake plot here, we do not know if the Lakers have co-written the plot and its twist or not, but this has never been a true story..

Can we send Jeanie, Lebron & Pelinka away

They low balled him and no one wants the job because they know that the Lakers are a MESS and LeBron is a coach killer. THAT IS HOW IT IS.

Job was to big for him. He wasn’t bold enough.

28:22 bless you Sli!!!! 🙏🏻

is Adrian griffin still available?? he had a goood record with the bucks until he got canned 😂😂😂

Brad Stevens or Rob Pelinka? Take your pick.
