Re: ☆Official Jim Buss Thread: Jimmy will QUIT if team doesn't compete in 3-4 years
I've heard the Byron Scott things too. I'm not sure how I feel about it exactly. I'm not necessarily opposed to it. He's actually done some good things. He's better than the last two hires. I'm not sure that it's quite enough though.

Jimmy will probably hire another guy named Mike......Dunleavy, Woodson.
He has no clue, none whatsoever. Jimmy thinks any idiot could coach just like he thinks any idiot can be a scout.......and this whole entire thing has been about him trying to prove his point, NOT trying to do the right smart things to win.
He is not capable of doing the right thing, he has almost as little basketball intelligence as Sterling.....don't expect brilliance unless he let's Jeanie run the team.
I wish he would just sell the team to Magic
Ooops, I forgot to discuss Byron Scott.......not in my top 5 of available coaches. I would only give him a 50-50 chance of being successful and honestly can't see him winning a title. YES he would be an improvement but not as much as we need.

Dreaming: Greg Pop
Realistically: Jeff Van Gundy
I've always liked JVG growing up. Seeing him coach the Knicks & the Rockets. I really would love & appreciate it if he won a ring before he officially retires. He can't be too bad, he's Jeff Van Gundy. I'm pretty sure he'll get it together.
Based on reviews, I wouldn't mind if they hire Lionel Hollins either.

I'd probably agree with that, albeit my dream has always been and will continue to be Sloan because I'm such a fan of his coaching and the only thing he has missing on his resume that makes people question how great of a coach he was is a championship ring and I want to see him get that so he can finally by consensus take his place where he deserves among the greatest coaches of all time (aware he doesn't have a ring doesn't bother me to say with or without one I consider Sloan to be one of the greatest coaches of all time even though I don't exactly have a list). I would love Lionel Hollins because of his discipline almost an authoritarian/disciplinarian dictator haha I think any draftee if they had problems (like Randolph) they would certainly sharpen up in all likelihood with him coaching he could be considered a bit of a boring coach but he's an old school coach so I'd like him, I think JVG is all but done with coaching albeit he'd probably be getting tired of commentating by now I hope, he's a good coach and I think it's almost wasting to have such coaching talents commentating but I think the window or door for him to return (if he even wants to) is closing I mean once you stop coaching for what is getting closer to a decade each year there is a point in my opinion where you just don't want to go back and also you may not be able to re-adjust when you do I think he's more just in the no wanting to come back camp at this rate, but who knows if the Lakers offer him a good deal with the biggest team in the NBA and say we are giving you the power to reshape the team and rebuild here's the keys now drive I think he'd at the very least be tempted.

I really like the idea of Lionel Hollins still. He took an underrated memphis team and had turned them into a "dark horse" contender for the championship.

Totally agreed, he is one of my preferred choices he's the top person I'd like partly because I think his discipline especially could help put in some continuity and discipline for whoever the draft pick is and a guy who does value defense, but I also wouldn't be unhappy with JVG, I'd love Thibodeau if he was going to leave Chicago he can tend to ride stars too much on minutes sometimes but overall as a coach I think he's very good/I like the Lakers at least trying to tempt him, if they get Melo I think he definitely stays with the Bulls but he's always had a strained relationship even when they were going well there were rumours of the Bulls still considering sacking him he's always seemed to have difficulties with the owners/front office of the Bulls so maybe he'd like a fresh rebuild who knows but I'd certainly welcome a coach like him with open arms

Re: ☆Official Jim Buss Thread: Jimmy will QUIT if team doesn't compete in 3-4 years
Will anyone help me with the "Jimmy Buss transactions/movement since day 1" or whatever the hell you call it?
Hired Mike Brown
Signed Steve Nash
Signed Dwight
Fired Mike Brown
Hired Mike D'Antoni (Best move ever)
Didn't he also fire some of Dr. Buss's long time staff? Help me, please.

Re: ☆Official Jim Buss Thread: Jimmy will QUIT if team doesn't compete in 3-4 years
I have also questioned a lot of Jim Buss's moves.....
Giving KB $24 mil per was way too much... He doesn't need the money
and taking a bit less would help the team immensely....
Not listening to Jeannie and giving PJax a major role with the team
was another big mistake.....
But now that the Kevin Love sweepstakes are on, not having any
players on the roster to include in a trade is another huge mistake.
I think he's gone in a few years...

Re: ☆Official Jim Buss Thread: Jimmy will QUIT if team doesn't compete in 3-4 years
David Stern screwed the franchise for potentially the decade. And he deprived basketball fans of the greatest back court in NBA history. But Jim Buss screwed up by not re hiring Phil. Maybe he should cash in on his fathers legacy while he still can. I think Byron Scott is a solid choice. He wont ask Kobe to carry the burden of doing everything at this stage of his career. But at this point, with how crazy the West is, I think any coach is going to have a tough time with the Lakers.
