I always thought he was a porn producer.

Lakers interested in Kidd.

Jfc

Haha please this.

I’m undecided who would be worse between Kidd and Mark Jackson. Regardless, Magic is a lock to hire one of them.

Mark Jackson has got to be an objectively worse coach. Not sure he would be worse for the Lakers tho.

A raging alcoholic

OR

A raging jackass

?

What could go wrong?

The fact that there exist any odds whatsoever for Lebron to coach the lakers next season is just more proof of his cancerous selfishness

You can't even be player/coach.

That's just begging for people to lose their money.

Betonline should be ashamed of themselves.

I wanna see Rick Pitino

If he brings Richard as an assistant let’s do this

I say bring in JVG.

Guy has been amazing with the youth on Team USA.

He's the guy that can really bring the best out of the Lakers youth iyam.

(Ftr, I don't think they're getting Brow. The Pelicans I say will either trade him to the Celtics or to the Knicks if they land Zion with the #1 pick.)

I disagree. People forget how bad of a coach Kidd was. Jackson is stupid and a bad overall coach, but mostly just gives sermons in the huddle and would probably let the team mostly do their own thing.

Kidd is an alcoholic, an absolutely horrific tactician, and actively harms the team with his ridiculous in game blunders (fouling intentionally up 4 with 10 seconds left, intentionally missing a free throw with 2 seconds left up 3, etc)

oh man, thibs would be hilarious. lebron would be donezo by game 15 after averaging over 48 minutes a game due to overtimes.

Won't argue with that. Those are hilarious ideas from a guy who would have been deemed an intelligent player.

Honestly I don't see one good (realistic) candidate on that list.

Is Del Harris still alive? How bout Nick Van Exel? That'd be cool

Sports talk shows in LA are rumoring Carlisle. I have no idea why he would want the job unless the money is beyond good.

Trading Cubes for Magic.

Seems like a lateral move.

Dead or alive, I’d take Del over any of those guys.

I don’t know much about basketball but I at least knew this

wp old sport

No way it would happen. Carlisle has a job in some form as long as he wants one. LA can’t match that, not to mention coaching LOLebron.

Imagine being one of the two best players ever and nobody worthwhile wants to coach him.

As a Dallas Stan it always shocked me when people, especially other players and coaches talked about how smart Kidd was. In his first run in Dallas he was demonstrably stupid. He said so many completely idiotic things in post game interviews I never believed it. Maybe he was a total savant.

One time I think he got a russellwestbrook but the mavs lost and he was asked about it sort of raining on his parade. His response was rambling about how people didn’t have to throw him a parade. It wasn’t him joking either. It is like he is an alien who just beamed down to play games.

I don’t question his basketball skills. Dragging the nets to the finals twice was absolutely amazing, and he was extremely important in 2011. He is just neither smart or intelligent by any conventional metrics. Honestly kidd’s Intelligence is one of the biggest incongruities in my lifetime.

All that being said he would be perfect for the Lakers. He would let LeBron run the team and I actually think he would be a good mentor for Lonzo.

Wat?

What available coaches are 'worthwhile'?

Who of these worthwhile coaches have turned down coaching Lebron?

The LOL Lakers are drowning in their own vomit; they suck and will continue to suck for a long time. Death to the Lakers and Death to the all the scum that are their fans and death to LA, a vast cesspool of humanity that needs scraped off into the pacific ocean. And death to this thread too.


Just: Death, Death, and more Death!
