Luke Walton Is History

[msgkings322]

It'd be funny if the Lakers hired Patrick Ewing.

Indeed. Or Larry Bird.

They are claiming it was a mutual agreement. Sacramento has been said to already be interested in Luke Walton and another team as well, so I think Luke will have a new coaching job in less then a week. Griffin is headed to New Orleans, so the Lakers can forget about him. This does not abode well for the Lakers

Got paid by the Lakers and got a better job with Sacto. Worked out well for Walton.

Sorry my friend, you aren't convincing that Walton has landed in anything but a good situation

I'd say he did. And should be drama free.

If a King fan answered I missed it.....do you think they'd have fired Joerger if they didn't think they could get Walton? Cannot say I followed it. Friction between him and Vlade?

Quite Well - In Six Months, Walton is going to be saying he is glad to be gone

Can you blame him for wanting to get away from an amateur run organization (Magic Johnson) and the cancer that is Lebron James?

Luke wanted to stay though and right now he may not see it as a good thing, but down the road, He is going to realize that Magic Johnson did not do any better than Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak. The Lakers is a train wreck if they don't get a high caliber second all star player.

People in the public view are always vulnerable to false accusations, so there is that

Not so fast - He has now been accused of sexual assault and is now under investigation and being sued. For his sake, I hope he had security with him and protected himself

Just to clarify, this alleged assault happened during his Warriors tenure.

If a crime really did happen she would have reported it to the police instead of waiting 3 years to bring a civil suit. I'm sure he's good but it is a bad look for an incoming coach. Her timing is pretty suspect. Probably thought this was a good time to get paid off since he wouldn't want the publicity.

The Warriors should have to forfeit all playoff games as a result of this investigation...no other way around this.

I feel they owe some player compensation to the Lakers. I won't be greedy; Klay Thompson will suffice.

Yeah, I am not a fan of these people waiting three years to report an alleged crime, but I was a huge defender of Bill Cosby until I heard the video where Cosby confessed and admitted guilty in his deposition. He had some really stupid lawyers. I would never admit guilt. I remember once when I was 18 getting into a scuffle with a 13 year old kid which I was going to report to his mother for trouble he was causing. He threatened me with a water hose. Granted not much of a weapon, but I didn't want to get hosed, so I slammed him against the house and removed the threat from him. When the police came - I denied touching him and they knew I was lying, but they also knew the mother was being a bitch and told her to STFU and leave everyone alone and then left. Now if I have been stupid and admitted it, I think they would have taken my ass to jail. That's the closest to trouble I got in 42 years ago -

Indeed. Or Larry Bird.

You shut your mouth.

This one?

Right on.

Classic LA brainpower...he was hired by LA April 29 2016

Notice the accuser worked for SportsNet......LA. That's where he met her.

Got any other ''thoughts" to share?

I'm just stating what I read elsewhere. Either way, the timing of coming forward is curious at best.

It would be funnier if they hired this guy...
