Submit ReviewThere was a great deal of speculation around how the Lakers would go about filling Jason Kidd's spot on Frank Vogel's coaching staff. Would it be an offense-first mind? A former head coach? A F.O.L. (Friend of LeBron)? Well, LA got a little bit from each of those categories, hiring former Heat assistant/Grizzlies/Knicks head coach David Fizdale. What does it mean for the staff? Is he a good fit?
Meanwhile, LeBron James is done with Olympic basketball, says USA Basketball director Jerry Colangelo. No real surprise there, given his age and mileage, but still kind of amazing it could even be a possibility. Lakers fans are probably happy about it (and that Anthony Davis is sitting Tokyo out, too). Do fans of contending teams even want their stars in the Olympics, anymore?
Finally, the Blazers had a disastrous press conference this week to introduce new head coach Chauncey Billups. Why were people upset, and why did the Blazers seem so unprepared to meet the moment?
HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
SEGMENT 1: The Lakers hire David Fizdale. What does he bring to the staff? How important is his connection to LeBron?
SEGMENT 2: More Fiz. Is he the offensive mind the Lakers need? He's certainly not a dinosaur on that end. Plus, the Olympics. No LeBron, no AD... and as a Laker fan, would you even want your stars playing in that tournament?
SEGMENT 3: How the hell did the Blazers screw up so badly, and why it matters.
