On Clickbait VS Simple Truth.

By 3 Comments

Today, like most trading deadlines, draft days and free agency, is why I tune out the clickbait media.

I’m just not interested in the race to “Who is right” that goes down between The Athletic, ESPN, and all the major talking heads out there. They’re as close to the source of truth as I am to being a billionaire. Which is to say not at all. Enjoyable to read? Sometimes. Treated as Gospel from the Mount? Never.

They’re justifying their jobs and they possess zero “insider” info. They are tools for leverage and misdirection. That is all. Nothing more, ever.

Having said that, Dan Hurley is a much better candidate for the job than is JJ Reddick. It’s refreshing to hear the Lakers aren’t being suckered by decent hair product and podcast. Now, if Hurley declines we could be up the creek.

I prefer pretty much everyone on the list over Reddick. Give me Sam I Am Cassell, Stotts, Adelman, Borego or Atkinson. All day, every day.

There are major concerns with his overall demeanor and mental stability on the job. But his skills are undeniable. So now we wait. Hope he takes it, not sure I trust us falling back to plan B.
