LFGG GOOD HIRES
Good! I like both hires!
I like it, they were good assistants and have some experience coaching in the playoffs as well
But I was told that no coach would want to work under a rookie like JJ
Absolute cinema
Finally some good news. Damn this has been a depressing offseason 😂
Some coaches are way better as assistants than head coaches
Sick. Those are two dudes with a lot of experience. Should be really helpful for JJ.
Fuck Casey lol /s
Very nice, guess the front office was busy working after all….
Finally some good news!
Both are great assistant hires. Finally something positive
We got a squad boys
I can definitely get behind these. Especially McMillan. Good hires
Like both. Nate help that Hawks squad alot after Lloyd Pierce and Brooks always been solid just never got over the hump.
Some much needed experience in the coaching staff
If patience was a sport
W
Fantastic. Two former players, each with over 20 years coaching experience.
Sometimes patience is the answer
Great choices for assistants
good. they know everything there is to know on NBA coaching & they’ll have that immediate respect with the players
Respected coaches who have won, these are very solid hires considering the market today. Let’s see who fills out the support staff.
COOKIN
Very solid
Finally. Sheesh. Good additions.
Steal Hurley O’s guy. Please I am petty like that
I always like Nate as coach. And no, this isn’t his reddit account lol
Didnt know McMillan was even available. I like this a lot.
Most of y’all were crying about Dwayne Casey just hours ago. Now you’re jumping up and down like you won some money.
Now let there be a trade Woj bomb next 🙏
Finally a small victory for our fanbase. These are both phenomenal hires.
Man… good successful coaches. I hate the people on this sub. They are so entitledz
This sub has been so irritating lmao. Max doomer mode.
Yesterday mfers going ape shit about no hires and no signings. Which funny enough the Lakers are a full roster lmao.
We’re waiting on trades.
Now these are amazing coaches behind JJ.
the assistant coaches are better than ham
Still can’t believe Handy not coming back
Solid hirings. Just be former head coaches with some unique perspectives and we’re good. Still got PTSD from the Walton days where he was hiring his college buddies
The Lakers’ decision to bring in McMillan and Brooks as assistant coaches is a smart move. McMillan’s defensive expertise and Brooks’ offensive creativity perfectly complement each other, providing a balanced coaching approach. McMillan’s disciplined defensive strategies will help tighten up the Lakers’ defense, while Brooks’ ability to craft dynamic offensive schemes will enhance the team’s scoring capabilities. This combination addresses both ends of the court, aligning well with the Lakers’ style of play and potentially leading to a more well-rounded and effective team. I think these will benefit LeBron and AD in their style of play and setup.
