I would be shocked if Luke Walton makes it through February as the Head Coach!
Look there are dust-ups in locker rooms all the time. We all saw one with the Golden State Warriors between Kevin Durant and Draymond Green. There was another one just this week between DeMarcus Cousins and Draymond Green (He gets into it with a lot of people huh?). Shoot, the Warriors can scream at each other up 25 points like in the Staples Center.
This is different. Luke Walton is losing the locker room. If anyone wants to say different, God bless and have a good day! Stephen Curry leads his team and has a great relationship with his coach.
LeBron James is setting Luke Walton up to be fired. It’s no secret to anyone that is paying attention.
LeBron James can stroll in and not tell the head coach that he’s not playing until an hour before game time. All of this about say 10 days after his “camp” wants a coaching change.
Then you can hear Klutch Sports representative Mark Jackson doing the broadcast waving his hand like a bunch of five-year-olds who wants the last piece of candy saying “Hire me!”
Now, this.
For half of the season, I was at the head of the line screaming Luke Walton was not coaching this team. Now that he is, they have turned on him. The trade deadline is going to be really something because not only the roster will be changed, the coach could be gone too.
But if Walton gets fired now, you know he has a place where he left. Remember Mike Brown got fired from the Cleveland Cavaliers and got a front row seat watching the Warriors spank LeBron James in the Finals while the Cavs paid him.
That’s a bright side option for Luke Walton.
