I'm late-career. I'm good at what I do - I might even say great. I have a unique blend of skills, aptitudes, and personality traits that naturally suit me for what has amounted to a very successful career. Not too long ago I accepted the offer to work the job I have now. While it is not the most money I have ever made, I am certainly paid pretty well - and I am constantly thankful and grateful that, somehow, I have not aged out of what I do.

Here is the punch line: this job is ridiculous. With the exception of a couple of in-person meetings, I have probably averaged no more than 5 to 10 hours of real work per week. And yet they love me. And yes, I love them, because I have so much time. I have recently become torn between devoting hours every day to a couple of important hobbies, or taking the plunge and trying to find J2, or at least a side gig.

Stan Van Gundy left nothing but a smoking crater in his wake after a disastrous 4 years running that franchise. They havent won a playoff game since 2008. Has Tom Gores gone senile?

So, the Lakers still have a coaching vacancy. But, who would want this ridiculous game of musical chairs?

First of all, you have a meddling, incompetent ownership group to deal with who will probably get you on the cheap because they like to spend/blow all their money on aging superstars. Next, is kowtowing, accommodating and acquiescing to the whims and ego of that aging superstar or find yourself gone before your tenure is up. Then, there’s the flawed lineup: no, established backup center, a weak bench and no third reliable scoring option in your starting five. Finally, you can forget about developing young, promising talent because they’ll be gone before you know it.

Um … sounds like a “great“ Job opportunity.

....along with Kurt Rambis if not already done. Laker management messed up when they broke up the bubble roster and the team has never recovered. The coaching carousel is likely to continue until Lebron retires and likely beyond.

Maybe not such a shitpost but the mere existence of things like Lemmy and kBin is comforting, especially after living through the enshittification of Reddit.
