You right. I’d rather have someone who’s coached rather than a player who announces game.

[@kite36]

@fresh_printz But why wouldn’t someone who played at a high level in the point guard role not be able to coach ? Most coaches played basketball in some capacity and then started coaching, if he doesn’t start in the NBA it would have to be at the college level either way your logic is biased .

[@mkingadiffernce]

Right

[@Kay-kt6mw]

Why not have Dan Hurley as Head Coach and then JJ as the Assistant Coach so that JJ can help Dan get used to the NBA, while JJ gets his experience being a coach for the first time? If Hurley doesn't work out, Lakers can fire him and promote JJ as Head Coach after he gets experience being a coach.

Every persons journey is different and there is a lot of talent in the league now, but I totally get why they brought it up. Billy Donovan is still coaching in the league and also won two titles in college as a head coach. Brad Stevens was the Celtics coach as recently as 2021, so it’s not like they’re bringing up all old stuff. College and NBA are different and there is a reason that there haven’t been many to successfully make the jump.

[@jayjohnson7646]

@@tapg6736Yeah but they clearly left out the fact that Brad went to the finals and ECF as well. Billy was close a few times. Those others they name they are correct on. Billy and Brad had better records and went way farther. I’ll take Dan right now over JJ.

If that man step in that locker room and point out things that bron or ad didn’t realize, they will respect him. I know he will b a good coach. I’d rather him over JJ. Shit I’d rather rondo

[@on2wheels378]

Gil was correct on his assessment. I feel Coach felt, "a bird in the hand, is worth more than two in the bush." He had guaranteed money and he coaches kids who will play for him. I think the NBA has players who earn well deserved monet but that kind of money will swell your head and your coach earns 2, 3 times less.. coach made the right decision, and your take didn't age well.

Gil just just said at 9:15 part of whats wrong wwith the nba today “you’re not coaching the team you’re coaching the players “ that’s a problem guys like popavich Phil Jackson Larry brown and even a guy like Steve Kerr they coached superstars but they always made sure to not alienate the the rest of the team they did great jobs at coaching “the team “ and not just making sure the star is the only one happy …spo down in Miami as well

[@DerekRitli-wh1xw]

It’s not happening. It’s just a way for the Lakers to claim “they tried “ but “had no choice but to hire JJ.” They’re just trying to cover their (and LeBron’s) asses when JJ doesn’t win. Plus Hurley is looking for a raise from UConn, thus if he plays along with this charade he gets a ton of leverage while negotiating with UConn.
