The Los Angeles Lakers interviewed Kurt Rambis about their vacant head-coaching position, according to Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times. They are conducting a deliberate search to find a successor to Mike D'Antoni, who resigned last month.

Funny stuff! No way they hire that idiot, do they?
Lakers must not actually want Love.
Re: Lakers must not actually want Love.
probably just for PR reasons. I think teams do stuff like that all the time. They may already know who they plan to hire, but want to make it look like they are conducting a very wide search.

Kurt Rambis should never get another head coaching job again. As bad as David Kahn was (arguably one of the worst GMs of the modern era)... I think Rambis is right there with him on the coaching side.
Re: Lakers must not actually want Love.
I am pretty certain that Rambis has the worst winning percentage of any Wolves coach and considering who came before him early on in the franchise that impressively bad. 32 wins in 2 seasons is BRUTAL and yeah the roster may not have been that talanted but that's awful he should have at least been able to come up with a 20 win season if he was any good at all.

No coach in NBA history has a full 2-year track record that's worse than 32 - 132. Every other coach was fired before he finished Year 2.
That being said, he's not alone as an all-time craptastic coach.
Sidney Lowe was horrible in Minnesota. And Vancouver. And even in college. In my list of all-time worst coaches, I have Lowe just ahead of Rambis in the top spot because of his complete ineptitude at both levels.

Re: Lakers must not actually want Love.
Just another example of Flip dragging his feet rather than aggressively going after an excellent candidate :D .
