If LeBron joins the Lakes; How long until Luke Walton gets replaced?

[coco]

We all know LeBron’s history with coaches.

If LeBron goes to Lakers, I think Luke is gone by next Summer.

[Birdman]

Great question!! TP....I say Walton will be gone if James signs with them..he is not going to listen to a guy bout his age..

[DefenseWinsChamps]

Walton has always been more of a figurehead coach, much like Kerr. The charisma and confidence it takes to lead a bunch of ego-driven men is one of the primary responsibilities of an NBA coach.

That doesn't mean he is bad at scheming. It's just that his primary strength has always been that cool confidence.

It depends, but I have no reason to think LeBron would have issues with Walton.

[BitterJim]

Anybody that coached that Warrior's team should be able to coach Lebron

[footey]

I think they’ll love playing for him. Has legit cred as a former player, multi champion and success as interim while Kerr was out.

I think he’s going to be a real good coach.

I don't think Kerr gets enough credit here. He is very good at adjustments. He was also very cerebral as a player, it wont surprise me if hes good at X and Os. People point out that Anybody could coach the Warriors team because Walton did well as a substitute. But shouldn't that be also a credit to Kerr? It means he has put a very good system in place and has everybody buying into it. Let us not also forget the culture change he made when he joined the same team that Jackson had.

Regarding the Lakers, if Lebron joins them, Lebron will technically become the coach of that team.

Lakers will be the same as the Heat when leBron joined, the GM will make the calls on coaching

[SHAQATTACK]

He stay until He disagrees with Lebrons iso ball and having the plays go though him 90 % of the time.

James need a figurehead coach .  A yes man...

Walton will not have much control of,the three stars PG ,Leonard and James.

Ball really has no place on this team .  He is a third foot ....so would Rondo

James demands the ball every play .   We saw the frustration he had with IT , he pouted , a d simply stood around and watched .   

He is basically uncoachable at this point.  He is not listenimg to anybody ,   only the Lakers will let him do,anything he wants ....like Cleveland did.
