Doubt this is true and really, really bad timing.

@RexChapman: Was messin' 'round on Sat nite re: Cal. But word is - win or lose 2nite - it's a #DoneDeal ...Cal 2 La-La-Land 2 coach Mamba's Lakers. #NoBS

Now this from Chapman:

I don't live in some dream world & have alwys called it straight. Alwys will. Let's not 4get, 6-wks ago many in BBN would've walked Cal 2 LA

Who knows if there is any truth to this Tweet... But if Coach Cal does go to the Lakers, who coaches Kentucky? Rick Pitino (Louisville)? Billy Donovan (Florida)? Josh Pasner (Memphis)? Sean Miller (Arizona)? Steve Alford (UCLA)? Brad Miller (Celtics)?

How about the Kentucky recruits, where do they go? I think that Kentucky had a ridiculous number of McDonald's All-American's signed for their incoming class. I think it was 6 or 7. If Coach Cal leaves Kentucky something tells me that the Kentucky recruits would probably jump ship. Maybe SMU is in play for a couple of the Kentucky recruits?

Probably about time for Danny Manning to move again.

Who knows? Maybe Travis Ford moves from Oklahoma State to Kentucky?

Travis Ford is really on the hotseat at OSU

i think Todd Graham would consider the position.

The rumors about Cal to the NBA have been around for a while. I think he's gone after this year.

What on Earth is Billy Donovan still doing at UF? That will never be a basketball school, no matter how many titles he wins.

His wife has family in Kentucky.

im glad someone got that….

This one is picking up steam. Sean Miller to Kensucky. Marshall to Arizona.

Cal tweeted a cryptic "goodbye" message last week. No surprise here.

“@ramonashelburne: Lakers, from all indications, have had no contact with Calipari.”

The fact that Shelburne, ESPN Lakers beat writer, tweeted this proves there's smoke.

I can really imagine Julius Randle as the only Kentucky declaring for the NBA Draft this summer. Maybe one other player. Regardless, it just seems like Kentucky has a number of players on their roster next year. Almost too many (if that is even possible). I thought I read that they have 7 McDonald's All-American's coming in as Freshmen. That is a lot of players returning and a lot of freshman coming in. Definitely a good problem to have (all that talent). Just does not seem like there are enough minutes to go around?

I would be curious if any of Kentucky's incomming Freshmen would be allowed out of their commitments if Coach Cal does go coach the Lakers? Seems like recruits would want to play for Coach Cal not Coach Cal's replacement?
