    This, and in particular I really can't see Phil hiring a Riley/JVG disciple.

    why the hell people think Phil would hire Luke Walton? He has no experience except a few wins with the warriors with a team that anyone can coach...

    Agreed. I think they will pick Walton.

    I am surprised. But I cannot stand fisher so I am ok with it.

    Didn't he hire Fisher? What was his head coaching experience?

    Well...I found.
    The rumour is that Fisher was following his players gf's in instagram and hitting on them.
    Which is preposterous.
    But on the other hand the timing before the ASW and the expectations of the team pre season, are strange.

    and Kings insider:
    :eek:

    Seems it was more the insults against Rondo.

    Kerr was a better player than Walton, is more mature and has more experience. He also got lucky coaching the warrior. I don't think he would be successful coaching the Knicks lol.
    For Fisher, well look at what happened to him

    Just pointing out Phil doesn't care if Walton have coaching experience from his two previous picks.

    Kings, Wizards, Wolves, Lakers ... potential for more changes loom. Five firings so far are most before All-Star break since EIGHT in '08-09 &mdash; Marc Stein

    Everyone starts somewhere without coaching experience, yet can become great coaches right off the bat for their team.
