On April 12, 2022, the Los Angeles Lakers officially announced that Vogel was out of class. As the hero who led the Lakers to the championship, Vogel's performance this season is indeed not outstanding. And more, it is that today's Lakers need someone to take responsibility for this season's poor record, and Vogel has undoubtedly become the best candidate. Many media also think that the Lakers' record this season is bad, and the management needs to bear more responsibility, rather than pushing Vogel out. However, for Lakers fans, they are more concerned about the new manager of the Lakers.
Judging from the current news of various US media, in addition to some spoofs of the Lakers, the Lakers are interested in the following four new head coaches at this stage:
Number one, Nas. As the coach who led the Toronto Raptors to the first championship in team history, Nas was undoubtedly very successful. And now Nas is the lakers' number one target for coaching. This season, Nas has brought the Raptors, who were only rebuilt last season, to the fifth place in the East. At present, the Raptors are still preparing for the playoff games. In terms of coaching level and strength, Nas is undoubtedly very good, but his current probability of leaving the Raptors does not seem to be too high. But even so, Nas is still the first candidate for the new Lakers coach at odds.
Second place, David Fitzdale. Last September, Fitzdale joined Vogel's coaching staff. Now, the Lakers have fired Vogel, but they have not yet disbanded the existing coaching team, perhaps considering assistant coach Fitzdale to take Vogel's place. After working this season, Fitzdale is really clear about the situation with the Lakers. But judging from Fitzdale's coaching situation in the Memphis Grizzlies and new York Knicks, can Fitzdale really handle the complicated situation of the Lakers today?
Third place, Rivers. It seems that the Lakers have appeared in rivers' name when they choose a coach several times. Rivers and Nas will meet in the first round of the playoffs, and the Lakers can't think that one of the two will leave class after a round? As a famous "chicken soup master", Rivers' reputation among players has always been relatively high, and there may be a way to deal with the Lakers' incompatibility with the big three.
Fourth place, Quinn Snyder. As the current head coach of the Jazz, Snyder's performance is still remarkable. He led the Jazz to no. 1 in the West in the regular season last season and fifth in the West this season. Although Snyder's coaching in the playoffs has been questioned, his ability to bring the Jazz to where he is today is something to be affirmed. If the Jazz make a round trip to this year's playoffs, he could also be out of class. Therefore, for the Lakers, Snyder is also one of the candidates.
The above four head coaches are the most likely candidates to replace Vogel, and the follow-up Lakers may also find some new candidates. Who do you think is the best person to take over the Lakers' coaching position? Who is most likely to deal with the Lakers' current mess? Leave your opinion behind.
