What About....

[Gunny]

Bringing Valde in for the head coach? Any thoughts?

 

[D-Mass]

Nope. Same issue as Pippen...NO experience.

 

[vj9999]

Vlade for president!!

 

[kingkung]

This is superstitious, but I don't want any bad luck from the 2002 team to pass over to this new team. I have a feeling that if Vlade were our coach, we would be seeing a lot of defensive tips turn into buzzer-beating 3s in critical games.

 

[piksi]

Would be great.

Kings would skip every training camp and there wouldn't be any injuries

Smoking would be required

I heard talk about Vlade this morning to. Did everyone forget that he is the European scout for the Lakers?

 

[Bricklayer]

And about as far from a defensive minded disciplinarian as you can get, if that indeed is what we arew looking for.

Seems like most people have completely forgotten, or never knew, that he works with the Lakers. I don't see why Vlade would want to leave a gig where he gets paid to travel, take it relatively easy and watch basketball. Compared to being an NBA coach, what Vlade's got is a cakewalk. Even if he wasn't working with the Lakers I don't think he'd be a good choice because he's not articulate enough in English to communicate with the players.

I am still pulling for Elston Turner. He knows the team, and he knows defense.

 

[BenchMob]

A starting 5 of floppers would be interesting to see

 

[Cozmosis]

They would have to incorporate a new stat for flops and Manu Ginobili would become the highest paid player in the league.

If thats true why was their defense so atrocious until Artest arrived? ET was here all season, and not only this one but previous ones past. I don't buy that.

 

[Cozmosis]

"The Lakers lead the league in missed flop-portunities!"

 

[Bricklayer]

Perhaps because we had some of the worst defensive personnel in the league, and compunded it by not having a defensive leader.

Saw them last week at Arco wearing black!!

 

[West_Gunslinger16]

Saw them last week at Arco wearing black!!

AMEN! The one who's wearing #20 was the best. Even better than Vlade.
