The bald man and the three

[@ifanhung2546]

There is never going to be "consistency" in that Laker front office as long as Linda and Kurt Rambis is there. And this is coming from a lifelong Laker fan.

[@Mark198d]

The problem is Jeanie who would hire them in the first place to be in positions of influence because she prefers to hire people she is already familiar with like Magic, the Rambises, Rob Pelinka (Kobe's agent) instead of just hiring the most qualified people. She runs the Lakers like a small family business. When she and Phil were together, they had a power struggle with Jerry West and they basically booted West from the Lakers. And then the Lakers released a pathetic tribute when West passed, who was responsible for so much of their franchise success as a player and GM. Jeanie needs to sell the team.

I dont want that job either lakers fans are delusional

[@josephsheu8948]

I don't want to go back to the Jim Buss era. Lakers need to decide on a direction and commit to it. You can't establish a culture when you are constantly turning over the culture.

[@TYLERORTIZ2021]

Wtf does Jim buss have to do with ur comment

[@BeyerEfendi]

It's funny how much hate JJ gets because he....what, exactly? Successfully transitioned from being a player to a broadcaster then built a podcast with a million followers, got Lebron to do a podcast with him and now gets hired as a head coach? You really see how small and insecure people are when they shit on someone for being successful in doing something they love.

[@Therebelliousone420]

Because it’s not genuine fool

[@TylerDurden-ww3yg]

He disrespected entire Era's from 50's to 90's as being inferior basketball but today's NBA, dont even call traveling n double dribble.

[@beckmanchilds756]

8 teams. Those dudes have second jobs for the avg player. Not the same as today’s nba even with those rule changes. I get it tho. Old heads in general don’t like the new basketball but basketball has gotten to this point because of the success and popularity of it overall. Sacrifice the old for the world

[@hardtimes625]

Show me his credentials to be the head coach of the laker organization. Podcast with lebron?????? Gtfo laker organization is a shit show

[@zfeazcesd1047]

​@@TylerDurden-ww3yg I'm tired of seeing this. Nobody cares about his plumbers comment, people just want to find something about JJ to criticize. In context, his 'plumbers/firemen' comment wasn't even that bad. It was harsh, but it was during a heated debate where maddog was trying to discredit chris paul by bringing up bob cousy having 29 assists in a game. JJ even said during that segment that you can't compare eras, but when you're talking to someone who tries to discredit a current player by bringing up stats of a player in the 1950s, you have to bring up the fact that the caliber of players back then were inferior. Watch that segment, JJ kept trying to end the era comparisons but maddog was insistent. Everyone implicitly accepts this as fact anyway. It's why not a single person puts any NBA player with 10 or 11 rings as the greatest of all time despite championships being one of if not the most important criteria for greatness...people recognize the league and competition were different back then and using those numbers to discredit modern players is ridiculous.

[@TheRealEnrique1]

Oh boy did we get a guy at 17

[@Chad-Culver]

I would love to see Channing Frye as a head coach! I need to see it!

[@jicalzad]

Lakers problems are mainly due to several missing pieces in their starting 5, as well as their bench and not necessarily their coaching.

[@mettaworldelbow7104]

Yeah the floor is pretty low coming from Ham, JJ should be good enough if they can improve the roster

[@kwilliams1958]

Exactly... hard to quantify ...amazing how Pop won with all those guys with NBA HOF's but has struggled mightily without them. Coaching is important...but no Hoopers equal no Rings. This is not exactly quantum mechanics knowing this about sports.

[@enriquesadventure021]

Idk if you saw the lineups Ham was running last year and the changes he would make at the worst time lol

[@MaybeLoveHate]

Or maybe just health. Vando and Gabe fix most of their issues on paper, at least on defense which last season was our biggest issue.

[@mettaworldelbow7104]

We got a guy at 17

[@theposterking3553]

Jazz already have a first from russ trade. Call n tell them you will take protection off if we can get Lauri. Then offer other 2. Him n Reeves about same age. 3 unprotected 1st. An Danny loves Lakers' picks.

[@Kharl19]

yall lakers fan keep calling for a star? what u need is a reliable bench and role players that are actually good

[@eldridgehenry2]

THE POD IS IN GREAT HANDS WITH YOU 3.

[@graigcarrillo2585]

Pat Reily was the color commentary guy before he became laker head coach

[@JimmyEmoz]

I don't see a single player that makes the Lakers a contender. They need at least 2 playable pieces imo

[@tylerk4641]

They just need some solid rotation players. They just got a steal in Dalton Knecht. They are a championship contender heading into the season with some rotation players who fit better.

[@Juniscrazy]

They have a chance but a lot of luck would be needed if they don’t make changes

[@Kevin-zy5jm]

just need two-three solid wings and a reliable big man that can take pressure off AD by rebounding and playing with energy and blocking shots. 2 wings that can shoot and play great D. Gonna be hard to find tho.

[@davidfebreeze428]

@@tylerk4641dude I’m a lakers fan and I can’t believe how delusional you are😂

[@splash.3026]

Dalton Knecht should be able to earn some mins. That being said, they’ll need some more 2-way guys. I assume JJ will play Vando more than Ham did too. Gabe should be healthy also, and you know JJ will have some plays drawn up to get those shooters shots.

[@MarkPerchatsch]

JJ has the potential to be a great coach, but the Lakers are not the right fit. He will end up being being a sacrificial lamb just like Steve Nash was with that fragmented Brooklyn Nets roster.

[@selflove9315]

yeah and the lakers fans are delusional, who wants that job that there is no security

[@TYLERORTIZ2021]

@@selflove9315 well maybe consider… you are weak bro.

[@Floasis72]

Cool shirt Channing

[@august6281]

Rj's hair fits better as a referee than a coach.

[@Turbolsvda9]

On my lakers they are very close the media makes it look like there terrible when they are not honestly if you swapped dlo for a 10point a game defense player like a Caruso which sucks to know we let him go for nothing the series is different and coach as well with him not taking timeouts,proper challenges in game two it's in the margins honestly and you put last year rui in this year playoffs stuff would have been different there a good player away from being the same as the rest of contenders and two players away from being a champion contender honestly

[@mostlymilt]

I’m officially over it.

[@Michael-yk8nv]

The JJ experiment will be over in 2 years when LeBron leaves.

[@howlinhauler]

what i want to know? How will JJ deal with AD, thats the Lakers biggest problem.

[@jrr59]

He only has to deal with street clothes may be 40 games or so because street clothes is always injured

[@mefirst2576]

Ok well Boston has been a consistent loser for 16 years, but now everyone loves them

[@TYLERORTIZ2021]

Richard Jefferson you got 100 comments and they nearly all stupid. Pin this or your whole management team a bot. JJ is fine but let’s not pretend 99% of coaches had more experience than Red. This comment section seemed to forget dat

[@mrc302]

Sad how this organization has turned to CRAP! Reddick comes off as unlikable. Team will eventually tune him out.

[@DigitaIJustice]

JJ is used to hate, I don’t think he cares

[@mshalls7614]

JJ and Bronny...... what could go right? lol

[@DreamWorldSyd]

Since when was NBA coach a historically black position?

[@TYLERORTIZ2021]

Oh my goodness the Russian bots are here

[@Luisear00]

Is not JJ `s fault Lakers has become a joke... but sadly now he is the puch line in it. I dont get sports fans,with everything has been going on i would siimplylook some where else, Lakers boss has been clear they are going to do everything to make LEBRON JAMES happy so... they willingly trade LAKERS fans for LEBRON´s fans so please get the joke already and stop cheering a team that little cares for you as a fan, JJ and Brony coming to lakers are just a tasteless joke

[@TYLERORTIZ2021]

Dawg your photo looks like you have a daughter and you gonna comment some shi that stupid. I mean bro how slow are you. When was the Lakers last chip? How often do you want them to win? Wtf dawg

You clearly never hear him dishimself in his own podcast.

True… But the real coach is Daddy King Lebron
