Just read the article posted a few hours ago linking Cal to the Lakers. Most importantly saying Cal is open to leaving UK. Here’s the link
Could Lakers have interest in Cal?
- Thread starter Madison Cat
- Start date
Prayers may be answered.

If he's looking for more UK money even Barney now will blow cigar smoke in his face.
And--WE UK fans are "open" to begok leaving!!
A match made in HEAVEN!!

Its time. He's gotten too comfortable
This wreaks of the usual college coach facing scrutiny wanting to drum up "please don't go" and this time around it's not going to work at all. Nobody is buying that in order:
1. Lakers want him
2. He'd give up the $ Kentucky is giving him/his family
3. He's a "god" at Kentucky? This Devaney doesn't sound like he's up to date with things
I've seen this ploy far too often and the fact is, nobody cares. This isn't the time to do it, yet the coaches always need a "hug" to reassure themselves. Get out on the road this week and WORK. 63 yr old retreads from CBB aren't the rage of NBA basketball and certainly aren't going to ail what the Lakers need to fix things.

I would trade Cal for Vogel straight up.
Let’s switch Coaches sounds good to me
I have been a huge fan of Cal’s but it really looks like he refuses to make some necessary changes. All great coaches have to adapt and he seems to be resistant to change. I have no idea if this article holds any weight but if so, you would think he’d jump on the first flight to LA.
Not sure who would be a better coach and recruiter, but I’m open to the idea and I thought I’d never say that.

That would be a great swap if he had any interest in coming back to UK.
Name one reason they would want him.
He was a manager and videographer here from 1995-98, the most successful period in the modern era of UK Basketball. He knows the program and has a BIG connection to it.
I think he would be great!!
God bless Cal’s ego. It’s very bruised. Just like my UK fanhood.
Don’t care the reason. Just that they might.
They just bought a house in Nashville in preparation of retirement in the coming years. Obviously I have no info but it sure doesn't fit that he'd want a job in LA; especially one that would keep him on the road
Lol! No way the Lakers would have any interest in Cal!
Lebum would run Cal out of town after their first losing streak lol
No way. The NBA is built around set plays. At this stage of the game, no way Cal has time for that. We haven’t seen one in 13 years.
Please Lebron James and Anthony Davis come get your boy Triple C! Please please please I’m
this happens!!!!!Oh Lord, if the Lakers are really considering Cal their front officer is worse than anyone could have ever imagined.
Cal is successful in college because he can mold these kids but his style of total control and iron fist does not translate to players making a bag and a half every year.
Love Cal and hope he doesn't go but if he does this would not end well for him. Especially with GM LeBron on staff. This just doesn't make any sense for either party IMO.

This better have some hope. I haven’t been this excited about UK basketball since Cal got ejected at Arkansas.
Yeah I don’t see this happening…Cal likes to have control and so does Bron…but anything is possible I guess.
Vogel is getting at least one more year to try to sort of the mess the front office has created. I don’t think this is remotely true and hope now. Cal’s earned a chance to get it fixed at UK.
A change this late would be catastrophic for UK.

Cal, LeBron, Westbrook. A 3-headed monster as far as egos are concerned..
The timing of this is interesting seeing how Aaron Torres who has gone to the mattresses to defend Cal even threw shade at him with an interview with Colin Cowherd yesterday. Mentioned how he understand why UK fans are frustrated and that it's not Kentucky fans being unreasonable with expectations but just sick of the things that have been repeated here numerous times--not getting top recruits, losing all the big games (Torres even compared the current UK basketball program to the Dallas Cowboys). So you have him mention that and believe Torres is a west coast guy despite being a UConn fan, but know Cowherd is, and this Devaney report which seems to have 0 info and more speculation comes up. The minute I smelled BS was "Cal is a god at Kentucky". This guy doesn't have any clue what is going on in CBB let alone at Kentucky.
Not trying to be a downer for those who want change to happen but just being realistic. This would make 0 interest on either end.

Do they need someone to tell Lebron to go make a play?
Honestly…the best thing for Calipari is to land somewhere as a GM
I think he’d be uniquely suited to that role

Especially in the NBA because that’s exactly what he’s suited for!
You have to know that Anthony Davis is NOT for this because Cal has already bragged about AD getting the LEAST amount of shots the one year he coached him. 
Let’s just hope this happens. Best scenario for everyone involved.
