Oh there is a lot about Walton I like: he played the game and won championships; he is the son of a legend; learned his coaching craft from one of the best to ever did it; sat on the bench as an assistant for many years; would definitely not have to learn to coach on the fly:::))). This is how I feel about Walton

You didn't answer the question which was what makes him more qualified than Fisher cause Fisher has all the championships and he actually helped them earn the championships unlike Luke. Your Fisher hate is well documented on here and it was some serious hate you were spewing out of your mouth. If you would of given him a chance to let the players play to see who was gonna make the final cut of being in the rotation like a lot of us did then i could understand but you gave him no chance at all. I think Fishers has done enough to show that he's getting better every game he coaches which is how it supposed to be for a young coach. He has this team playing well right now and he has Melo playing the type of game we all have been hoping for years that he would play and i know a lot of that credit goes to Phil but Fisher also deserves a ton of credit for it since he's the one coaching these guys every day and he's the voice that these players are listening to. Lets also not look past the fact that this isn't even really a team full of great players and it's mostly guys that should be bench players but he has these guys playing like it's a team that's been together for a few years but they've been together for a half a year. Yeah he deserves some respect.

U did not answer the question either: if Walton is available, do you reach out and offer him the job if you are Phil? I am not saying that should happen

I'll ask again, isn't it pointless to be asking this question with the advantage of knowing what happens the remainder of this season?

When you have a team doing things like that coming off a championship, the seed was already planted, all He's doing is watering the plant at this point and watching it grow, everything was already set.Not to mention kerr is still a big part of their daily preparation

Do you mean Phil's search couple of summer's ago? I thought I remember that Walton's name came up. Maybe that was for bench assistant though

He did, but it never went further then talks, and this was when he thought he had kerr on board. but phil also stated he thought luke would be a solid coach some day, apparently just not on the knicks

Warriors assistant coach Luke Walton was prepared to join Derek Fisher’s Knicks coaching staff this past June until Steve Kerr made an interception.

Kerr, who broke a verbal agreement to coach the Knicks, offered Walton the job as “third’’ assistant with the Warriors
