The problem with the Lakers is that the talent level is just average so hiring a head coach won't matter too much.

Mike Brown

Byron Scott

and now Ty Lue

why do the Lakers like to hire the Cavaliers sloppy seconds?

whoever gets hired by the Cavs should just plan his next job being coach of the Lakers. LOL

Paging David Blatt....

You hitting the rock again?

players change teams ALL the time.

Name me a time in the HISTORY of the NBA where another team hired 3 former coaches of a different team in a 10 year time span. Ill GUARANTEE that has never happened before in the history of the league.

Yeah, because hiring a guy who your best player will actually listen to and who has been to 4 straight finals is always a bad idea.

Gotta love it when people who know nothing about basketball want to try to troll.
I think he's fine. Same as most coaches. Give him talent he can win. Don't and he wont. But he doesn't have the rep like, say, Stevens so when his team plays poorly he'll almost always get the blame.

Not sure 10 years but close.....Cavs hired Silas, Scott and Mike Brown (wasn't his second stint after he coached the Lakers?).

this is a fucking joke right?

I am a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE Cavs homer and the one thing that I think Lue SUCKED MAJOR GIGANTIC WANG at was the X's and O's---good with the personalties but the X's and O's? are you fucking kidding me?



honestly that just made my brain explode.

Take it up with Kevin Love. He's the one who said it.

Yep. For better or worse, the NBA is about the players, especially the stars. It's often more important that the coach be someone that the star players will listen to than whether or not he can actually coach.

Phil Jackson wasn't all that good at X's and O's. The offense he's famous for wasn't even his. But guys like MJ, Shaq and Kobe were willing to listen to him, so many consider him the greatest coach ever.

I didn't pay enough attention to Lue when he was in Cleveland to know if he can actually coach. But if Lebron will listen to him, then it's a good choice.
