97.1 said Lebron’s “people” want Luke Walton fired.

Fuck that guy. Hmmm who is out of a coaching job right now?

Not surprising. If I was Dwane Casey I would have held out for this gig.

If Bron wants Walton gone it will happen. Who are you thinking about as his replacement?

His lap dog from Cleveland

WHy does Lebron have "people"? That's the problem right there.

In defense of Tyron Lue he has a really good win percentage and I recall a while back reading some article about how he has one of the all time high playoff win% for a coach.

It's really a players league and the combination of Ty and Lebron is a proven winner so it's not a bad option.

But how did he do without Lebron.

Lebron James is on the lakers now dwags so if Lue did become the coach there he would have Lebron on his team.

I get it. He’s also going to get Davis from the pelicans. That’s cool. It’s what the league is. I understand how that works. I still remember how outraged everybody was because magic signed a 25 million lifetime contract. Times have changed.

I get why Lebron has people. I will never get why 5 star high school athletes have people.

Speculation, my guy.
The people are betting on the athlete hitting big, the athlete thinks they're looking out for his best interest, it's the circle of life.

Went 0-6 and got fired but that team is old and has no talent.

Luke should tell Lebron’s people to fuck off. Then go get high with his dad.

"These changes – as I have argued before –will probably not make much difference. A study published in the International Journal of Sport Finance (full PDF here) – which I conducted with Mike Leeds, Eva Marikova Leeds, and Mike Mondello – found that most NBA coaches across a sample covering 30 years did not have a statistically significant impact on player productivity. And in other sports, we also have evidence that coaches cannot systematically change outcomes."

Also, if they do fire Walton I don't think Lue would be the next coach.

Magic, Rich Paul and Klutch sports have reportedly reached out to Izzo to gauge interest should an opening arise.

It's probably time for him to move on, huh?

Let's just play that scenario out, if it were to happen, who would die first, Izzo or LeBron?
My money's on Izzo taking a baseball bat to Lebron and then running amok in LA traffic, a la Michael Douglas in Falling Down

I think Izzo would adapt a LOT, I don't think he would run nearly as hot. He's a smart dude.

Can't see him dealing with Lebron's 'people', he'd kill 'em

Yes, he's a smart dude, that's why he'd never put himself in that situation.

Yeah but Bron's people is pretty much Rich Paul isn't it? And Rich Paul is a good friend of Draymond's and also is Miles' agent.

also why are we entertaining this when I made up the rumor.

Izzo’s at a point where legacy is important. What’s he going to do, quit in ten days?

Hoiberg to the Lakers?

Just because it would never, ever, ever happen.
Izzo values his freedom too much to become a mass murderer.

Sounds like there was a pretty heated altercation after the Lakers Warriors game last night with Beasley and Walton. Walton’s days are numbered in LA.

Lebron was drinking wine on the bench one night he was out.
