My biggest worry is that joerger won't adapt, and 2 years from now we will have wasted the development of our young guys while continuing to sign veterans like Randolph to play joerger ball. And at that point you look much more incompetent than biting the bullet now.

The team has changed a lot since joerger was brought in. When he was here we were focused on building a team around cousins with vets like Lawson, Collison, Gay, Casspi... We no longer have that team. This is a young team and I'm not sure he would have been picked to coach this team if this was the personell when we made our decision.

Luke Walton is not a good coach...


Definitely disagree with you there.

Hes a smart coach. Immediately to start the year he said Deng isn't in our plans not going to waste the young guys development time on you.

Ingram - 34MPG
Ball - 33MPG
Kuzma - 30MPG
Randle 25MPG

Trill - 27MPG
Fox - 27MPG
Bogdan - 27MPG
Buddy - 24MPG

This right here says a lot. He wanted to develop his main pieces and stuck them in the fire to get better and clearly they have.

He has the Lakers scoring 109ppg with a bunch of young guys playing heavy minutes, hes got Randle playing the best basketball of his career, I attribute a lot of what Kuzma has done to him putting him in a place to succeed. He has the the Lakers at 19-12 since the new year, with a roster many thought wouldn't even hit 30 wins this season.

What makes you say hes a bad coach. Id love to hear your reasoning?


It was a bit of a hyperbole, I'll admit. He started off the year not so great but has been better as the season has gone by and he's a young HC. However, I still don't think he's a better coach than Joerger. His track record speaks for itself too, he's been successful at every level there's no reason to think he doesn't know what he's doing.

He's knows what he's doing, it's that time up to this point and possibly beyond is proving him out to be wrong. Coach to coach you have to give the nod to Joerger, but being flexible is extremely important unless the players you have have fit your wishes to a T. These guys clearly don't. Joerger is consistently getting frustrated with players on the sidelines for not running his offense and you can see it's starting to get to them. Like I said, I'd love to be a fly on the wall in those exits.
