So there was a report that speculates LeBron James and his association want third year coach and former NBA player Luke Walton booted from the sidelines. Yet another story where King James wants to dethrone his coach and send him off to the pit of coaches that LeBron “apparently got fired or wanted gone.”
We’re looking at you Tyronn Lue, David Blatt, Erik Spoelstra, and Dwane Casey. Is Luke Walton next?
If they do Luke Walton go -who mind you still has the Lakers on the brink of still getting a playoff spot halfway through the NBA season at 25-24 record, a few games behind that other Los Angeles team who currently has the eighth spot in the Western Conference – who are the Lakers going to hire next?
Here’s my suggestion: LeBron James. But why? Well…..
- No more drama or speculation of LeBron getting a head coach fired.
- He’s definitely one of the best to ever do it; he’s gifted athletically and has a high basketball IQ. He knows the game!
- Players can coach a team. Bill Russell coached the Boston Celtics while he was still a player from 1966 to 1969. He also won two championships during that span.
- Maybe if LeBron struggles as a coach, he will realize that being a head coach and having the best player in the game and arguably one of the greatest to grace an NBA court and having many young guys and a few veterans might take some time to work out kinks and it’s not that easy.
Yeah, I like number four.
