Lakers haven't played for a while, but still the topic of conversation everyday.
You must be new to ESPN. All they talk about is Lakers and Cowbays, over and over... 365. 🤣
Turn the station, champ.
You must be new to the concept of ratings. Get over it.
To be fair, I am a bit sick of hearing talk about the Thunder vs Mavericks matchup...
Super excited about the game, just the speculation before it has been kind of dumb. I just want to watch them play.
The Celtics and Cavaliers matchup doesn't seem worth talking about. There is only so long we can talk about the Nuggets losing 2 at home.
Maybe I should just stop procrastinating and get back to work...
That's because we're all here in spite of. Guilty pleasures.
"Monty Williams should give back his money to get the hell out of Detroit" 😂
His agent would slap him
detroit need a refund, that mofo trash
Monty is living proof that good coaching has very little to do with winning basketball.
In Eric Spolstra's case...he has the backing of the Heat's management and Pat Riley's confidence......so LeBron left.....
Remind me, how many titles has Erik Spolstra won since LeBron left Miami?
@@ian_ford LeBron is not the end all and be all...he's not almighty and he is also a double edge sword for any franchise...he can certain bring the championships....but he can also harm the franchise with his demands.....
@@johnpatricklim4509 So basically every franchise he played for was better off with him on their roster. Got it.
@@johnpatricklim4509 Who said he was "almighty?" It's just bizarre how LeBron cannot hire Lakers coaches (see Ty Lue, 2019) but has the apparent ability to fire Lakers coaches. So, which is it?
@@johnpatricklim4509 You didn't answer the question 😂
Rob Pelinka is still there. Smh
Lakers don’t wanna talk about this
Cause jeanie buss and rob low pelinka probably doing the hankey pankey
Makes you appreciate the Heat Culture more! The only organization that empowered their Coach over LeBron
That’s great and all but what have they done since Lebron? Think about it. You telling me Miami is happy just getting to the finals and losing? It goes both ways I think.
@@WJGSix Well ... half the time with LeBron the Heat just got to the finals and lost ... so not much difference. LOL
@@matthewdigiacomo2580 is it really not much difference when you have 2 titles in 4 years? How many teams can say they’ve done that? How many teams don’t even have one let alone 2 titles in their entire history ….
@@WJGSix Considering how he boasted when he was signed how they were going to win six-plus titles ... and the fact they were the definitive favorite to win the title all four seasons he was there ... and they lost to a Dallas team they should have beaten easily (had LeBron showed up) and then lost to a Spurs team that they should have lost to the year before ... yeah, not much different. The Miami teams he was involved with hugely underachieved. And this LA team he is now involved with has hugely underperformed (though, with the current roster, they may have overperformed this past season).
@@matthewdigiacomo2580 You can say what you want about that heat team but do you honestly think there aren’t 29 other teams in the league who’d give anything up for a chance to win 2 titles in 4 years? It’s about titles and what teams and players compete for. That’s all that matters.
As a Lakers fan always thought it was weird that the Lakers hired rob Lowe as a GM he as no experience as a GM he was a agent that is totally different.
Kobe gave him the co sign
It's common for agents to become GMs. Bob Myers was also an agent then GM
I love Shay here man. So happy he's happy here
So do I. I just wish he was full-time i think he’s just on Monday & Tuesday
@@StandOnBizness5yea he’s just Mon and Tue
I'll coach them, I know what to do
We need to get you an interview.
Let's get the petition going
Drop the petition link🔗
@@vikenmanjikian4607drop the link
Just let LeBron got you and u be good lmao
No offense to mark Jackson but his offense was straight iso ball even with Steph and klay. Kerr changed the offense and made it unstoppable.
Top laker choices is 1 Mark Jackson 2 Mike Bud 3 Juwan Howard 4 jeff hornacek
And Mark didn't believe in Draymond. Kerr did
2 game winners, 1 win, double digit leads in all games, no adjustments on defense, not using Hayes/Wood (when available) appropriately, Bron & AD player great, DLO & Reaves couple of great games and you lose 4-1? Yeah is not Ham’s fault 🤣🤣🤣
That's not Ham's fault
It wasnt hams fault. They got outplayed. Period.
@@5plus4 be honest, are you guys Ham’s burner accounts?? 🤣
And to see how Minnesota is handling them. He definitely deserves to be fired. And lakers players development sucks.
@@5plus4and out coached by a team with no bench play.
And Rob Pelinka blew up the championship roster instantly and it’s been downhill from there.
Yep! 💯
2021 was actually a good roster, but AD and Bron went down after being the 1 seed and it’s been down hill since. The Westbrook trade was the death of this team even though we made it to the conference finals
@@jdilla4591 yea the injuries didn’t help but they didn’t resign rondo Dwight McGee and Danny green it was downhill from there.
Preach Shannon. He's the ONLY one on ESPN touching on the heart of the matter. "Holding players accountable, despite their resume." But you can't criticize outright he who shall not be named. Shannon speaking in code, telling the truth, and not wanting to end up like Michelle Beadle.
All them coaches were trash stop yapping
Lebron is his boy he ain’t going no where
LeGM about to play his 7th season in LA and going on his 4th coach 🤣🤣
Dam Kobe played 20 and had 10 😂🤣🤣
Was luke walton any good nooo, how bout vogel yea for maybe 2 season, ham hell no sooo whats your point
@@King__Tone Lakers don’t pay coaches 😂 only Phil got paid . Lebron didn’t tear his Achilles either💀
Absolutely disgusting
@@King__ToneKobe wasn’t firing them. LeCoachKiller gets everyone fired
I cant believe Shannon is this honest, lebron is too powerful that’s the main reason. Mike brown was only able to stay for 5 plus year because lebron didnt have that much power back then. But then later we found out mike brown was actually an amazing coach.
That time a year where we talk about mark jackson 😂
This is one time I agree with Steven A
At the end of the day, Darvin Ham has won CH as a player and ast coach. He was an assistant to a HC who won coach of the year. In two years as HC, he has 55% wins, 2 playoff appearances, (losing to the eventual champs and the defending champs) and a win in the NBA Cup. He will get another HC job before lebron gets another ring.
Lakers needs 3 things;
1. Aggressive defense
2. Add'tl. Center position player
3. Good coach like Mike Brown and Eric Spoelstra
Mike brown??? Hadem already and hw wasnt good
Die hard Lakers fan for 25+ years. I really appreciate Stephen’s take on our coaching vacancy very very very, very very appreciate the take. Nobody won’t know scare little boy coaching this worldwide brand good take Stephen a
8:04 Preach Shannon❤ I’ve been loving him here on ESPN and Nightcap with Ocho 😂💯
I am calling it now…Coach K will coach the Lakers
New podcast JJ ✅ Duke alumni
Bron said he is always wanted to play for Coach K ✅
Olympic team connection ✅
What more proof do you need 🤷🏾♂️😂😂
Hail Mary kind of take. I like it.😂
I hope not , Lebron has to go , if Lebron stays let him coach the team , he doesnt change his play style to fit the teams needs, hes not a team player
I doubt Coach K want the headache. Olympic different (political). A COACH K team will be ran by Coach K only & since LBJ there, it won't happen..
Nope. Because it would take a lot more than 5 million a year to pull Coach K out of retirement
Lmao , Coach K is 77 years old & doesn’t want to be around selfish millionaire children.
You can’t empower a coach who doesn’t demand power. Coaches that demand power are very few. Most coaches are like puppets.
Can we please hear about the T wolves, the Nuggets, the Thunder, the Knicks, pacers, Celtics, or Cavs. Not a team that the league has passed by
Nobody want to hear about the Celtics. Lmao they are going to choke in the Finals like usual. And Denver is about to get swept by the Wolves. They ought to be ashamed in all honesty
@@jamesjefferson3809they not gone choke
We dont wants to hear about states that are too cold to visit
@@williedaviskcmo you think they aren’t going to choke against the team that has the most competitive spirit since maybe the Warriors? You think the foul complaining Jays won’t get in their heads?
It’s a 4 hour show
I'm glad he said Mark Jackson! Much respect Stephen A!
It’s a totally undesirable job. Terrible job security, biggest scrutiny of any coaching job which is exacerbated with Lebron on the team, terrible ownership, plus this lakers team is incapable of winning a title yet those are the expectations
Championships are always going to be the expectations no matter what in LA.
Lakers biggest problem is ownership and management, yet Stephen A never defends them because he’s friend with Jeanie Buss 😂😂😂
yes, they should have never signed Lebron and they cater to Lebron way way too much.
@@mikeid3067without Lebron the lakers would still be irrelevant like they were before he got there. Desperate for a star and always picking in the lottery. How soon people forget who got the lakers back on prime time tv
I agree with Shannon on this one.
I can’t believe George Karl said that. I would have to see the clip. We can’t be talking about the same Coach George Karl who never won a Championship as a player and never as a coach either. No way he would stupidly open his mouth to talk down someone else’s Championship. 😂
People always miss the point with Mark Jackson. If you do a little bit of reading you’ll understand pretty quickly why he hasn’t had a HC job since Golden State. It’s not because of X’s and O’s. Apparently he allowed his faith to become heavily distracting to the team and it started making some guys uncomfortable. Apparently he was prioritizing his duties as a pastor, refusing to hold practices or show up to games on Sundays, throwing holy water on Steph Curry’s ankles and stuff like that. I have no problem w religion but when your religious fervor is making someone as devout as Steph Curry uncomfortable, I think it’s safe to say it’d make most people uncomfortable. It’s unfortunate because I think Mark is a good coach, but if he was alienating both players and front office staff like it’s been reported he was, that’s just not the type of behavior that’s gonna get you another head coaching job in the NBA.
Mark Jackson was an excellent defensive coach but had no plan or system for the offense other than "Steph, Klay, take us to the promised land". There was no movement and the team led the league in turnovers. Kerr fixed a lot of that. Jackson deserves his flowers for instilling a great defense and for empowering/encouraging Steph to become a superstar. But he certainly had his faults too no question about it.
So maybe those holy water splashes worked!?
;)
There's also the issue of creating a team vs ownership mentality and flat out lying to the team about Festus Ezili, being a homphobe, inappropriate comments about LeBron's wife etc etc etc. The full list of things that make Mark Jackson a terrible head coach and completely unhireable would reveal if RUclips has a comment length limit.
I never knew about this
He use run around San Francisco with a bull horn speaking against a certain group also lol
LeBron will make sure that they hire a very experienced coach that he is comfortably with - probably Bronny.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Comment of the Month!
It's a great job to get if you can get a Monty Williams type contract. So when they fire the coach in 2 or 3 years, that coach will be paid well and for many years to come. Bad pay and short contract then it sucks.
As a laker fan, this is not a desirable destination. It’s a scapegoat job
They can hire whoever coach they want but nothings gonna change if the management is still the same. Pelinka should be remove immediately. He let go too many valuable assets, and did arguably the worst trade in the last decade with Russ.
Yeah Pelinka was the one responsible for the Russ trade…. Ok 😂
@@bigballer6666 yep, because you can say "LeGM" or its AD's fault but at the end of the day Pelinka is the one doing the signing and firing. And don't say he was strongarm into doing it because this season he kept Darvin even though the whole team including Lebron and AD were clearly fed up from Darvin which means he can make his own decision. And i'm no Basketball player, can't even properly dribble but even i was able to see that Russ wont fit with the Lakers. He's pretty much a small Lebron with less shooting, less playmaking, and less ball handling which means he will clog up the paint which also means there will be no room for both AD and Lebron who needs the paint to be effective.
talent wins games
Talent wins games, and talent doesn’t lose games, it’s everyone else it couldn’t be the talent. No no don’t put the blame on them, trade the role players, fire the coach, anything but shame the talent for being not good enough.
The difference with Miami is not only the coach but Pat Riley, he held everyone accountable from top to bottom.
Lakers firing Phil Handy (3x champion) was another annual fatal mistake by them like when they let go of Caruso, Dwight, and Schröder. Then traded KCP and Kuz to go get Russ. I don’t even think a trio of LeBron, AD, and KD could beat Denver or Minnesota next year. KD is extremely washed and too scrawny. They’re old news but the media will keep talking about the Lakers because LeBron is there.
they are basically giving the new head coach a chance to pick his assistant coaches.
ive been yelling the same thing Unc been saying..
We need to stop talking about teams that not in the playoffs anymore
When LBJ’s on the team they’re always gonna be talked about just the way it is
Dude, the notion that you can't talk about teams not in the playoffs is silly. They talk about the teams in the playoffs plenty.
@@HTHAMMACK1you need to start your own network and talk about who you wanna
I agree and I bleed purple & gold.
They talk about teams that generate ratings
LeGM has driven this franchise into the ground and no spine Jeanie has let it happen
LeMeat gives Jeanie fire backshots. No wonder she got no spine.
Lakers won a championship. You guys are sick
@@haywood0457this ain't Ohio kid gtfoh wit that bs bubble championship
@SilentMovements305 bruh the lakers were irrelevant with post mortem respect kobe after 2010, bron bought you bums back to relevancy
If the Lakers are in the ground now, what were they in the six years before Lebron got there?
Glad SAS said this because I'm watching Rob not catch no flak for nothing for the decisions he made. So thats real. It needed to be said.
Phil jackson is the answer been saying this since lewoke went to LA
Sup with that music
The way people have switched up and flipped this on Bron is absolutely crazy as if you've never watched Darvin coach a game all season long
Exactly lol seems like shannon forgot how bad ham was
Trading lebron and AD is probably the best move for the lakers. You can't trade Bron without his consent but you can ship AD out east, see if you can get bron back to miami or cle, and rebuild
But who do they trade for? A lot of the teams with young talent wouldn't offer up their players.
@@jamespinkney189 they need the picks. They dont have but one
They don’t need to do that, y’all be overreacting every time the Lakers don’t make it to the Finals
@@donovanyoung244 so you believe the lakers can still win a championship as currently constructed?
@@ericreid8111how long had it been before bron and ad got there that they won a championship? They made it to the western conference finals twice since ad been there how many other teams in the west have made it that many times since ad and bron been there
SAS sure loves to hear his own voice.
What year did George Karl win a championship ( bubble or not)
I agree with cachet thing with LA with a small market team no but in LA where a coach will be constantly watched yes
Purple and Fold on the top screen!! 😅
I think JJ with legs as his assistant would be a beast of a move
Legs as an assistant is a waste of his talents he'd be better off also being a head coach
Media were saying lakers were h the second best team in the league and only the nuggets they couldn’t beat 😂. That Job looks a lot less appealing now with the way the wolves looking against the nuggets
When has a Lakers coaches been empowered? What a stupid question.
I hope the Lakers consider adding Mark Jackson to their staff. He may not be the premiere Xs and Os guy, but team culture matters and he's the best in the business in that area.
Butler and herro for sorry dlo, hachimura and reaves 👍
whichever coach gets it, I think Rondo need to get a shot as assistant coach
Top laker choices is 1 Mark Jackson 2 Mike Bud 3 Juwan Howard 4 jeff hornacek
Did they have a segment on the Mavericks today? Lol
Woahwoahwoah, the whole coaching staff?
They should’ve kept Phil handy
I'll coach....rob Pelinka doesn't scare me
Dan Hurley
Calling BS on Stephen A's take about the Lakers needing a coach with cachet. He made the same take about the Knicks years ago
I'd love to see Stephen A mention Mark Jackson being blackballed in front of Bob Myers.
Jj Reddick should be the coach assisted by nick Wright, Jay Williams and Sharon sharp
Stephen A said “We” when referring to LA fans. Bro’s not even a Knicks fan, that’s a LA boy. Showtime.
How you go through NINE coaches, but the media is still asking is it the coach ?
This the lemedia if u can't see the bs narratives than buddy I don't kno what to tell u
Give Sam Cassell a shot😎😎
💯💯
Go hire Dion Sanders Stephen A. That’s the coach your talking about 😂😂😂
Lakers doesn't have a coach problem. They have a roster problem.
Laker Coaching job must be the most desirable job opening, imagine you get a 4-5yr contract and only have to work one season just make sure half or more of it is guaranteed money easy bank right there
1 minute ago with no views and first like is crazy lmao
Coach Bud, Avery Johnson or Marc Jackson
The coach is already in the staff
The Lakers need an offenses system they need to run the training offense nothing has changed in the NBA just players I got a week on defense and they became better at shooting
Ham n cheese sandwich.
-Bread man-
Well speaking as a Detroit fan.. yall can HAVE MONTY WILLIAMS...LOL
They should go get Kenny Atkinson or Terry stotts
They might hire Budenweiser
Mike Budenholzer should be in consideration as well as Mark Jackson - other than those 2 🤷🏽
How are they able to beat this subject to death? lmao this exact topic has been talked about like 5 times already this week. Incredible devotion.
Mark Jackson should be 1st on the list for that job
Same as Clean porta potties after a weekend festival in 100 degree heat.
It’s very desirable if you’re looking for something short term.
Time for Mr. James and Mr. Davis join another team. Imagine those two in Orlando; Championship contenders.
HC pay should be tied to player salaries. How can a $4-8m coach check a $50m player?
Man just hire a fresh new coach with good assistant experience in drawing up plays .. Look at the best coaches in the NBA this yr, and why they earned their first jobs: Mark Dagnieault, Chris Finch, Joe Mazulla, even going back to prev. years the coaches we hailed: Michael Malone, Coach Spo, Nick Nurse, Taylor Jenkins, etc. they are there overachieving because of their experience.
To me I will give a very good option in my opinion for the Lakers: Look for Knicks Assistant Coach Johnnie Bryant and if he's available. He's young, probably will be very innovative, and has a very good resume from the Jazz and Knicks. He was a Player Development Coach early on with the Jazz back in the mid-2010s --> and look how the Jazz culture and players have all succeeded in growing in that era. Look how great the players on the Knicks are developing in the 2020s. Johnnie Bryant deserves a look in my opinion given his promising high-potential track record.
The laker need Shaq to coach them he don't bite his tongue
For the first time in IDK how many decades.....It's actually better to be a Knicks fan than a Lakers fan.
My Lakers HC Wishlist:
1. Micah Nori
2. David Adelman
3. Kenny Atkinson
4. JJ Redick
5. Mike Budenholzer
mind:
savannah james
bronny james
bryce james
rich paul
maverick carter
Micah isn’t leaving the Wolves to go to a dumpster fire
What about Mickey Mouse?
Ty Lue
Mark Jackson
Mike Budenholzer
You should have A new GM List. Fire Pelinka and hire Bob Myers.
Kobe Brynat is Top 2 and in my books hes not 2 Bron is overrated he has great Numbers But he Lacks True Leadership everyone talks about him making players better but who did he actually make better? Everyone gets the blame when they lose “its Us when we win and its yall when yall lose”
Same thing Phil Jackson did piggy back of of what other coaches did coach Pop is the best coach
Spurs sucked for awhile
@@user-ds1fd2rm4p he was coach for 1 year and then got Tim Duncan.
Yeah. 55 wins, 62 wins and the league MVP and 59 wins... That's the team Pop took over.
Lebalco should be a player coach, let's see who he gonna blame then.
LeBum should be a player coach!!! Obviously the Queen knows best.
In Lebron's interview with JJ Rideck, he says, "I know better than anyone..." when talking about how to play against a team or player. He doesn't want to be coached bc he thinks he knows everything. LeBron isn't just about playing his best game, he wants to make sure the rest of the players around are an extension of himself. He isn't going to listen to anyone.
I think it falls on the front office more to embrace a team identity and culture just as what miami had. But why we talkin about lakers??
Top down needs to be reevaluated. They need to have more confidence in the bench players and play smarter. Letting go of Malik Monk was a horrible move.
The lakers are out of playoffs man. The media should be discussing the remaining teams in the playoffs. Like don't you get tired of dissecting the lakers.
Thank you. This job belongs to mark jackson
savannah james will be the next coach
The only consolation for lakers fans now is viewing old photos of Jeanie Buss posing for playboy magazine. 😂 🤦♂️
I hope the Cavs hire mark lol
It’s only two coaches that could put lebunny James in his place but then he will leave and go to a lower market team just so he can control the show and plus lebunny said he doesn’t want to be coached by a high profile coach
This team is going to be in the hole until he leaves.
