Last time an international coach tried to coach Lebron he took the team to the NBA finals in his first year, had a 30-11 record the next season and still got fired. NBA players don’t want a coach that will tell them what to do.

Yes. They play a different kind of ball in Europe. At this point it’s about managing ego’s/locker room and letting bron be bron. They don’t need a fundamentals guy coming in for the last 2 or 3 years of brons career

Basketball cultures are completely different between us and europe. It is not same job. I think blatt was the last coach tried at nba, players were not happy with him. And he was an ex college player-american citizen.

Have we not learned from Lepast?

The Return of David Blatt would be hilarious

Honestly I don’t even know what we should be looking for in a coach anymore. I just pray that it’s not another Darvin Ham. He should’ve been fired immediately when we went 3-10.

Idk, and despite all the confident answers, no one else on this sub does either.

LeBron had a bad experience with an international coach (Blatt) so he’d probably be skeptical of the idea.

You should have added Coach K & Roy Williams as well.

I’d prefer either vs. someone with no coaching experience (sorry JJ)

Željko Obradović yelling at LeBron would be the funniest fucking thing. Sign him just for that. Just imagine “IN YOUR EYES YOU ARE GOOD GUY JAMES YOU THINK YOU ARE, FUCK YOU.”

I know it’s a long shot best, but I would live if they took a run at Dan Hurley, he coaches smart play, toughness and defense. Would be a good fit, IMO, and exactly what this team needs
