If they end up with 3 or nothing, I would pass.

Why is the pick a deal breaker?

I think even if the struck out in free agency with the big names and just got decent role players for the youth movement with Luke/Messina/ or someone like them I think 30-40 wins is a big possibility.

Presuming he can do all that and impress at interviews this would be a dream signing (if only we could get all 3 of Messina, Ollie and Walton though, that would be the dream team of coaching)


That's something you do after you get hired. At worst if he stays on with the Warriors he will still have many other coaching opportunities. Be vague but confident, and teams will want you... they already do.


that could be dangerous, could be another Fisher situation (though coaching in New York and being told to coach the triangle is a different scenario all-together) point still stands that if it was all the players and the system and Luke wasn't the coach we thought he was, it means we need to release another coach, and that is only because we didn't do our due diligence, i am sure he would be brilliant but with all the candidates we need to use the proper process otherwise we'll end up with another dud, something we can't afford

He was an albatross contract as a player, which I would think would've left more of a aftertaste in Lakers fans eyes, but doesn't seem to

No one knows how he'll do with a serious lack of talent on the team.

Fisher might have come off as a better coach had he gone to the Warriors instead of Kerr.
Brooks may not have been as in demand if he didn't have Durant, Westbrook, and Harden at his disposal.
Scott, while not the best coach, is still a really good one. Same goes for George Carl. People judge based on team results.

If Walton goes to a Lakers team with the same roster, plus some mediocre signings (and potentially no draft pick or missing out on a top 2) it'll be hard for him to come out of this looking good.

For a first chance, I'd rather go somewhere that there's a bit of hope going forward. Not where there is controversy and uncertainty.

Just my opinion.

I'm curious to know what your opinion of Scott is based on.

We won titles with him on that albatross, hard to look at those years with a sour taste.

Luke tell Phil the triangle still works but that it just needs flipped over. Go get him an athletic backcourt with more shooting up front.

Phil says what about Jrue holiday, Tony Wroten, and Jared Cunningham. And Ryan Anderson, bring back dwill

Knicks Speed triangle is the answer for Luke

He has stolen enough money from the Lakers during his career. Any coach would have done what he did with Curry and the rest of the GS roster.

I want a proven coach.


Pretty much, an exercise in how overrated head coaches are in general. Basketball is a team game on the court and in the coaching.

He has been part of teams have had good records. If he's a bad coach, he wouldn't have been around as long as he has been.
Alvin Gentry had a poor finish to his Suns career and still found a job in New Orleans.
Didn't say he's a great coach. He's still around for a reason though and chances are, he'll find a head coaching gig again eventually.

So in your original post your argue against judging coaches based on team record but your argument in favor of Byron Scott is team record.

Luke Walton showed he could coach talent too.

Scott was a bum as a Laker coach. I like the guy, Showtime legend and all. He was just an awful coach. His robo-substitutions, aversion to communicate with his young players, a total incompetence in modern day x's and o's. The game passed him by.
