    So if no coach wants to coach LeBron then don’t renew his contract. I’m curious what team wouldn’t sign LeBron.

    Time for Mr. James and Mr. Davis join another team. Imagine those two in Orlando; Championship contenders.

    It’s the easiest job in the world. Stand there look pretty and let Lebron coach. Take the blame when he lose. It’s literally that east.

    LBJ should play and coach at the same time.What’s the use when the coach whoever it is when he does comes don’t have any authority

    Stop freaking out rob was the man last year. He moved mountains and got off Russ and got good pieces back. They won’t win all the time.

    I cant believe Shannon is this honest, lebron is too powerful that’s the main reason. Mike brown was only able to stay for 5 plus year because lebron didnt have that much power back then. But then later we found out mike brown was actually an amazing coach.

    Lebron is the problem, not coaching

  15. @lxireo3033

    Lebron should apply for the coaching job and be a playing coach simce he thinks all his past coaches weren’t good enough for him.

    You get paid for four years but only have to work two or three. Is there a better job than an NBA head coach? 25 million for 2 to 3 years work telling other people to hustle.

    KEEP EVERYBODY, pick up Dwight Howard and a couple free agents!

    The Lakers job is the worst one in the NBA because Lebron is the #1 coach killer. He thinks he knows more than any coach, and he undermines the coach. If the team wins, it’s because of Lebron, and if the team loses it because of the coach or the other players. Lebron throws everyone under the bus.

    Once lebron is gone it will be all good he is a cancer, get’s everyone fired.

    The Lakers need an offenses system they need to run the training offense nothing has changed in the NBA just players I got a week on defense and they became better at shooting
