This is in another thread but I'll say the same thing... Terry will let these guys play how they want and the way they want won't work. The sheer talent could get them into the playoffs if healthy and could even win them a first round upset but it won't possibly hold up.
 
Terry might be a decent type of coach for them if they bring back the LeBron Davis Westbrook trio. He certainly would be much better than a Tibs type. If Davis and LeBron are healthy any coach could look good there.

Terry was pretty good offensively, even with non shooter like Turner and Aminu. He might be able to get better production from Westbrook. Terry is a positive guy, and that team needs egos and attitudes to improve more than X's and O's.

Would be kind of sad to see him helping that franchise. I still remember the 0.9 game and all the Shorts support then.

Yes, Terry was a solid coach and an even better member of the Portland community-- with that being said, I hope the Lakers hire him so they can remain in purgatory for that much longer!!

Agreed.

Once LeBron retires, or moves to another team in a year (depending on who drafts his son), the Lakers aren't going to be much. And Stotts isn't that coach that will lead your team to the promised land. Sure, he'll make you feel good about how he's a good old boy, but Laker fans don't want a "good old boy".

I strongly suspect this is just Stotts agent putting this out there so other teams will interview him/hire him, in fear the Lakers are going to hire him.
 
I'd be surprised if the Lakers hired Stotts. Their roster would need some work to be a contender with or without him. The next coach won't be what takes their current roster and make them a championship team.

What, you don’t think the Laker fans’ plan to trade Westbrick for Dame will come to pass?
 
Please please please please please! This would be Christmas coming early!
 
You all talking about drop coverage when he would have Anthony Davis instead of Nurk with a broken leg or Enis Kanter and Melo.
Comical.

Maybe the Lakers think this is how they will get Lillard.

"Hey Dame, we got your favorite coach."

With how terrible Cronin and Jody Allen are running this franchise, and how hopeless out future is, Dame on the Lakers doesn't bother me as much as it once would.

Still would be painful as heck though.
 
I dont see Lebron playing for Stotts. I do think he could be sucessful with LBJ and AD. But Terry isnt hip enough for Lebron. Mark Jackson gets the job I say.

LeBron wants a coach that allows him (LeBron) to do what he wants to do. The issue with the Lakers wasn't coaching, it was injuries to AD (a coach won't change that) and the horrible combo of Westbrook and LeBron (a coach won't change that either).

Honestly, the Lakers would be better off trading LeBron to someone else and get away from him. He's still insanely good, but father time is starting to kick his ass, and it's likely he'll be leaving in a year anyways.

Of the 3 big stars they have, he's really the only one that has any trade value. No one is going to trade for Westbrook (of any value), and AD is injury prone.

I see no difference between Vogel and Stotts.

Really? They seem like very different coaches to me. I can't remember what your overall feeling on Stotts was in terms of scheme, leadership style, etc. but those two differ in many areas to me.
