Dennis Lindsey "scouting" in Europe

[Park Bites]

I would be very happy with Messina.

Watch any of the video interviews of him, he talks gooder English than most American English talkers.

Maybe also visiting Tomic.

does Messina speak english?

Yes and you can understand him. He does have an accent but it isn't too harsh that you can't understand him.

Seriously, I'm sure Messina speaks English well enough. Most Euros can speak a few languages and English is usually one of them as it's often a required language in schools. And a bunch of them speak better English than people who were born in the U.S. At least that's been my experience from my travels.

well thank you for that nice compliment young man

Planned scouting trip well in advance. Released Corbin yesterday (metaphorically).

Doubt they're connected.

All these comments about how well he speaks English remind me of these guys:

Good post. I am sure that there are three objectives while over there. Messina, Neto and 23rd pick scouting.

Maybe talk to Tomic, also?

(I wonder if picking Messina for a coach would make Tomic more interested in coming over.)

Talk to Tomic? Does he speak English?

Europe isn't a country, it's a continent. Messina may or may not be involved. Info is very vague.

I hope they are disguised as some scouts from the Lakers and convincing Hozenja to declare this year so we can snag him at 23.

Wiggins and Hozenja. Dreams.

That doesn't have to mean they're not connected.


Dennis said at the press conference that now that Ty is gone, he'll have to move quickly to get together with his team and come up with a list of possible candidates. If that is true, why then would he suddenly go on a scouting trip for the #23 pick? (i.e., our own pick is likely to be an American).


Yes he could have the trip planned well in advance. But that could also mean he had "Ty's firing" had been planned well in advance, and he had planned to meet Messina in advance also. The Press Conference was just a formality really - when he said he doesn't have any coaches in mind, pretty much all the media was calling his bluff on that, even Locke.


I do believe this is the strongest indication yet that Dennis is seriously considering Messina.
