Dan’s given my son & I our best sports memories we have, so this hurts, but he’s gone.
He’s always said he had a goal of coaching in the NBA, and like them or not, the Lakers are 1 of the most stored franchises in basketball history. Dan’s evolved as a coach since he’s been here, so saying he won’t evolve in the NBA doesn’t make sense. The only thing that doesn’t jive is having Alex come back, but things have changed quickly and Dan’s always been honest with his players. I don’t see how he turns down coaching the Lakers as one of the top paid coaches in the NBA. This run was almost too good to be true.
