Magic is not a good NBA talent evaluator, and that applies to coaches. Ryan West and Jesse Buss are responsible for the talent evaluations which got the Lakers to where they are now, excluding Bron and the free agents they signed last summer.

Firing Luke is the lamest talking point in order to take any pressure off what might happen this season, including a playoff blunder of a first round exit, should one occur.

Lakers don't have much to offer New Orleans. He'll most likely go to the Celtics or someone else.

Better also include Hart, a #1 and take back Solomon Hill (which wont happen, but id start there).

I can't see Walton surviving after this year. He is in a no-win situation. Honestly, I don't think Luke is that great of a coach. Does not seem like he makes a lot of adjustments in the second half of games.

Bron and Rich are calling the shots, make no mistake. Luke will be gone, he doesn't deserve any of this, and I do think he's a good coach, but he's not ready at all for this.

Bron does not listen to any of Luke's calls, at all. He flat out ignores him and runs what he sees fit on the floor. That's a fact.

Last year, you could see the guys picking up what Luke wanted them to do, how to play free and reactionary, and those dudes we're busting their ass on defense.

This year is literally the exact opposite.

I think i said something like thus a couple of years ago. I wouldnt put my worst enemy in charge of trying to turn Ball into a player.

Totally true, guys are playing different for sure

Bron is not going to listen to any coach and in some ways I dont blame him.

Yeah, but when that deadline passed it was like Lebron turned to his 12 ex-wives and said, “Y’all still living here, huh?”

Looking at Luke's face on the bench last night, and the extended All-Star break, I wouldn't feel comfortable if I were Luke.

Nobody except Lebron and Magic should feel comfortable (and in that order), but there’s opportunity to turn this thing around and solidify a spot for next year.
