LeBron wants Luke Walton out

Maybe they should just fire Luke
let one of the assistants get some experience for the rest of the season

I'm no fan of LeBron, but this is a serious reach.

 

Howard came from nowhere. I am not sure why stackhouse isn't getting a shot. He did very well the 905.

 

I think he's the leading candidate for the Vanderbilt job

 

In November, NBA commissioner Adam Silver and Maverick Carter, LeBron's longtime business partner, met for lunch. James' agent, Rich Paul, was seated at a nearby table, and at one point, approached Silver to complain about Walton, multiple sources familiar with the interaction told ESPN. Paul said he didn't believe Walton was the right coach for the Lakers. Silver shrugged off the remark and asked whom Paul thought would be the right coach. Paul suggested Tyronn Lue.

Paul was also letting it be known through back-channel conversations, including those with reporters, that he wasn't on board with Walton. Paul criticized how Walton allotted minutes to players and his inconsistent lineups, which were partly the result of injuries and suspensions. Members of the Lakers' coaching staff became aware of those conversations and wondered whether Johnson's heated meeting with Walton was influenced by Paul.

So Rich Paul is pulling strings on Adam Silver? Looks pretty corrupt to me.

 

Pelinka comes across as a total bullshitter who has no business managing people.

 

Just saw Scott Van Pelt show video of Pelinka lying to The Rock and the entire Lakers team saying he set up a dinner with Heath Ledger at Kobe’s request.

Says Kobe wanted to know what it took for HL to get into the joker role. Pelinka then said Kobe used some of that in his game after learning from the conversation. SVP went on to say that Ledger died before the release of the movie which we all know. Pelinka is a fraud and a dirty Som B.

 

Yeah, that was in the espn article, just ridiculous.

 

Ive read that three times, and still don't understand it I mean the point of the lie, what? The part about Heath Ledger?!
