Lakers are going to be left holding the last empty chair. Other teams are moving quickly and decisively, Rob and Co. are dithering around waiting to interview a Who’s Who of Internet Clickbait.
This is just another great example of a GM with no plan. Like are we even interviewing anyone or are we waiting for the playoffs to conclude? Hornets, Suns…they’re going to be set and with the coach they want.
If it is JJ will have essentially backed into the job after many equally (sic: more) qualified candidates locked up jobs faster.
Gonna just punt another summer because of this imagined privilege and exclusivity which simply doesn’t exist. We’re one of 30 jobs to head coaches and likely not even the most attractive. But we sure as shit act like we’ll have out pick if coaches, players and trades.
We do not.
Yes we are hardly a coaching destination. 6 coaches since Phil with no one getting more then a couple of years. Frank won a title, watched that group dismantle over just 2 years and when AD and LeBron missed a lot of time with no real supporting cast he gets fired. Should have been Robb. Now the Lakers are a pretty good team. But it will be very difficult with our limited assets to build a great team. With its championship or bust mentality a coach has to wonder about his job security if he doesn’t win a ring.
