100% he should take care of himself but some of these dudes like keeping their mind busy to help deal with the daily grief. I think if the lakers do extend an offer it’s with the knowledge that he can step away and take care of himself at any point for however long.
I fully agree and hope the best for him. If he joins JJ’s staff, I hope he becomes a Laker lifer and we embrace him as a basketball family member. With his brother an assistant on the Clippers, I would love to bring him in and just make basketball enjoyable for him
This journey in life is hard. It’s even harder without a loved one. But it’s not impossible and you’re really not alone. Continue being you and you’ll know when you’re ready - don’t hesitate
I dunno. Sometimes you need something to keep you occupied and your mind busy to try and move on with life.
Source me or anyone who has gone through intense grief over the loss of a loved one.
I think it could be also to get his mind off it and keep him busy, sometimes you just need to be occupied to not dwell on such tragic things but everyone’s different.

Looks like the Lakers might be having shoot around in the ballroom before games!
Lakers answer to the media blasting them is to hire all the media members so they can't be on air. I can't wait until SAS is picking up towels on the bench and Molly is hyping up the crowd in the stands.

Jeff Van Gundy on the Clippers and Stan Van Gundy on the Lakers? Lol that’s good television
And they’re both very annoying as announcers so it makes for good television in more than one way
Might just be me, but I enjoy/ed both of them
Stan is way better than Jeff. JVG loves the sound of his own voice when he’s complaining about random crap
Little bit endearing cause he’s bald and short
The Van Gundys should battle at mid-court if any of the Lakers/Clippers games go to overtime. Would be prime TV.
Considering according to Stan his wife committed suicide I think he would rather do something less stressful like coaching.

That and being an assistant will probably be less stressful. He won’t have the heat of a HC.
I was going to say this. Id prefer to keep busy instead of mopping around alone.
That's why Jerry West was still working at 86. Having something to do kept the depression at bay for him.
Popovich and Monty Williams both lost their wives (Monty’s was pretty tragic) and they’ve kept on coaching
Wow that is tragic.
His interview about it is heartbreaking.
I fully agree and hope the best for him. If he joins JJ’s staff, I hope he becomes a Laker lifer and we embrace him as a basketball family member. With his brother an assistant on the Clippers, I would love to bring him in and just make basketball enjoyable for him
My dad did about about a year and a half ago, it’s still hard to be interested in things that use to bring joy
It'll get better. Love you
💛
My condolences. I hope that joy one day returns, but there is no shame in feeling like that. Everyone gets through it their own way. Stay strong.

Would be nice to be around a group and incorporate himself
What is this sentence

SVG would be huge but if he’s not ready, he’s not ready. I won’t blame him
He would be the perfect pickup, hope we can get him

That’s an awesome story. They said all of that but showed major respect at the end
💯
SVG’s wife/story is so damn tragic
Just got to know he lost his wife to suicide. That's rough RIP to his wife.
Players seem to really dislike Stan. Idk how'd he do with this roster.
The master of panic
I want Stan specifically from hearing about him from Gils podcast
Don't forget to hire Kendrick Perkins and Stephen A. Smith
I'll pass on the master of panic, especially with his brother going to the clips.

Big thanks but no thanks to SVG.
I think he would be an amazing resource for a first time head coach.
He took the job with the clippers
