Rudy T... and the Lakers

Let the rebuilding begin...

Quote:
ESPN.com news services
Rudy Tomjanovich will meet with Lakers owner Jerry Buss and general manager Mitch Kupchak to discuss the team's head coach opening on Tuesday, according to a newspaper report.

Tomjanovich, who's expected to arrive in Los Angeles on Monday night, appears to be the leading candidate to replace Phil Jackson, the Los Angeles Times reported on Monday.

Buss decided Friday not to have Jackson return for a sixth season as the Lakers' head coach. A decision on Jackson's replacement could be swift since Buss is scheduled to travel to Italy on Wednesday and the team's preference is to have a coach in place by Thursday's NBA draft.

Also on the Lakers' wish list are former Lakers coach and current Heat president Pat Riley and ex-SuperSonics and Bucks coach George Karl. Riley said in a statement on Saturday that he intends to stay in Miami and is in negotiations on a contract extension with the Heat. Riley and Karl have not been contacted by the Lakers, according to the Times.

Lakers assistant coaches Kurt Rambis and Jim Cleamons will also be considered for the job, although Cleamons, like Karl, is a candidate to replace Jim O'Brien as Ohio State's head coach.

I guess it just wasn't me thinking Kupchak looks out of his league.

Are you guys freaking crazy? You like him and respect him and you wouldn't be happy to see him play for greatest organization in sports? That's crazy talk.

Think Shaq might change his mind and play for the coach who help the Dream to 2 rings?

He wouldn't bring anything championship to the Flakers anytime soon. If a coach with 9 rings can't do it with 2 super stars and 2 aging stars, Rudy T will not succeed.

Lets just say that Rudy T. doesn't really seem like the "LA Type" to me.
