The Lakers' goal this season should be achieved quickly, that is, to smoothly enter the playoffs, whether it is ninth or tenth in the West, it does not matter for the Lakers. Entering the playoffs, maybe the Lakers can reproduce the strength to win the championship, of course, this is just a beautiful imagination, a season of accumulated problems, before not solved, now not solved, the playoffs can be solved? Obviously not so easy. The Lakers can only rely on James's bravery to play, it is possible to go further, at least can not hope that head coach Vogel can play any tricks.
Earlier, James had hoped that Kidd could return to the Lakers to coach, which was just a personal suggestion and did not represent the Lakers' position and choice. But the Lakers' coach change is inevitable, Vogel has no confidence to continue coaching, and it should be good to get together and disperse after this season. In this way, the Lakers must carefully select a new head coach for James, obviously Kidd is impossible, James's wishes should be difficult to achieve, and the Lakers should hire a head coach who can bring the system, and it is more appropriate to have a head coach at present.
But the Lakers have to face competition from the Spurs, and this candidate is Jazz head coach Snyder, and Snyder has not yet agreed with the Jazz on the renewal of the contract, which gives the Lakers and Spurs an opportunity. However, Snyder's personal statement should not be ignored, he once publicly rumored various rumors, and said that he loved the Jazz deeply, after all, he had been coaching for eight years. The author believes that if the Jazz do not renew Snyder's contract, then Snyder will still have to go. If you had to choose, coaching the Lakers would certainly be more challenging than coaching the Spurs.
The Spurs have already formed a system under Popovich's creation, and Snyder's play space will not be too large, and it will be difficult to erase Popovich's mark. To add, Popovich is supposed to retire and it's time to leave the Spurs to someone else. For Snyder, the Jazz's refusal to renew his contract is just a problem, and whether he can lead the Jazz further is also a question worth paying attention to. Because the Jazz have not broken through in the playoffs, it is also a thorn in Snyder's heart, otherwise why the core Mitchell may also leave the team.
I believe that as long as the Lakers negotiate with Snyder with sincerity, Snyder should be convinced, after all, coaching James is a rare opportunity, and the team with James is also determined to win the championship, do not worry about the team will lose the ultimate goal. If Snyder is in the Lakers, in addition to spending a lot of energy to build a system, it is also necessary to know how to deal with the relationship between himself and the supergiants, such as James and Thick Eyebrows, manage the locker room, and develop a tactical system that can be effectively implemented. So, if he wants to take his coaching status to the next level, Snyder should choose to coach the Lakers, not the Spurs, let alone stay on the Jazz.
In addition, the Lakers' lineup next season will definitely have a big change, Westbrook's departure is inevitable, and the thick eyebrows also have a certain opportunity to leave, but if they stay, it is estimated that they will make a makeover, at least not to make a change of body, and concentrate on assisting James. At present, the most unlikely replacement should be the management of the Lakers, but as long as the head coach and some role players change, the Lakers are still very promising. James should not go, it is difficult to give up some of the business careers that he has worked hard to establish in the big city, and besides, James basically has no home to go. Initially, the Lakers' teaming up with Snyder has the greatest chance.
