    I'd be surprised if they don't give it to Shaw. But if it's someone from the outside, probably means no more triangle, which also means they're probably gonna blow up the roster.

    Maybe we can work out a sign-and-trade for Adelman and the Lakers can have Nate?

    Rick Adelman wasn't just our coach for six very successful years, he was one of the original Blazers, the same team Pat Riley refused to play for.

    I will be shocked if Shaw doesn't get a chance, but I understand their interest in Adelman.


    I am still holding out hope they ask for permission to speak to Nate

    It ain't gonna be Shaw. Players are too friendly with him and management is split on giving him the job.

    They're also interested in Mike Dunleavy, apparently. Sweet.

    He should have had one in 2002, but was cheated out of one by Stern and his minions.

    I'd love Shaw as your new coach. The Blazers had him, released him and the L*kers picked him up for the stretch run. Then that fucker hit the banked three that started your Game 7 rally. I hate, hate, hate Brian Shaw. Therefore he'd be perfect to run your team.

    They had him before. I hated Mike Dunleavy as our coach because I remembered 1991 every time that Gordon Gekko wannabe walked the sideline.

    Haha, Kobe getting instructed by Shaw would never happen. Kobe is a pompous ass as is. I'd give a couple months under Shaw before he tries to coach the team himself.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I think that's where this process is headed. Hey, if Bill Russell could be a player-coach...

    The best thing for the Lakers would be for Kobe to be player/coach.

    Oh yeah, Shaw. The Celtic rookie with a head shaped like a light bulb. Is he coaching now? I only watch Blazer games.
