No mention of the $$ in statement like with Hurley. Lakers must have got the cheap deal they were looking for

Lakers are so trash. Lucky Lebron wanted to go Hollywood and forced AD to team up with him to get the 2020 ring but aside from that ufff from a management standpoint they’ve been awful with their decisions since Kobe last won a ring.

I really liked his podcast analyzing the game. Most likely he will look bad like most rookie coaches, but I really hope he does well.

Wow, I can’t believe they actually did it. I knew he’s been the front runner for much of the coaching search but I figured the absurdity of allowing someone without any coaching experience who currently hosts a podcast with your main star player would too much for even the Lakers.

Just a wild situation.
"Hey team, we hired Lebron's friend and podcast partner to hold you all accountable. Don't worry about it".

Lebron does it again....and some people really believe he has no impact on the Lakers FO decisions.

Even if this works out, we're still a dumpster fire.

JJ was doing fine with podcast money. People forget NBA and HC money is totally different from podcast money.

JJ will be overpaid considering his experience. I'm sure he's happy with whatever they gave him. He's back making NBA money now.

More like Prebron Livilage, if anything. If you can't make it, be friends with someone who can.

Can he play too? They can use his shooting.

This is such a surprise for all of us. Where did he come from?

JujitsuFlip · Post #20 » by **JujitsuFlip** » Thu Jun 20, 2024 7:13 pm

Bronny getting drafted by the Lakers for sure.

Kudos to JJ though, guy knows the game. He is going to need a good expierenced associate head coach under him. Also having a DC somewhere on the front of the bench would be wise too.
