Today the Lakers officially announced that the team officially dismissed employer coach Frank Vogel. Lakers officials then updated the social media dynamics, with pictures and wrote: "Thank you, head coach. "
With Vogel's dismissal, the lakers' next manager has also aroused great speculation, and Brad Turner, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, wrote an article reporting on the lakers' initial prospects for a coach. Some of the most notable new coaches the Lakers may consider are Jazz coach Quinn Snyder, 76ers coach Doug Rivers, Raptors coach Nick Nas and University of Michigan coach Juwan Howard. But these coaches all currently have contracts.
In addition, league insiders also mentioned the names of former Magic coach Steve Clifford, former Blazers coach Terry Stotts, and Bucks assistant coach Darwin Hamm as potential candidates. But it is undeniable that after an extremely disappointing season, the Lakers must quickly produce results next season, not only the Lakers management needs results, LeBron James can not afford to wait, so some coaches who have never had coaching experience, perhaps coaching less than ideal results, may be difficult to impress the Lakers, or make James and Davis excited.
But there is one person who may be the exception, according to the latest news, Lakers star LeBron James is excited about mark Jackson's prospect of getting the Lakers head coach. With James's affirmation, then Mark Jackson will definitely become a candidate for the new coach of the Lakers, and there is also a great hope of becoming the head coach of the Lakers. Remember that although Mark Jackson is the true founder of the Warriors dynasty.
Although the Warriors' championships in recent years and their peak moments have been led by Kerr, it can be said that Kerr has really ushered in the transformation of the Warriors and Curry, but the coach who made that Warriors a playoff team and laid the foundation for the future dynasty is actually Mark Jackson. Before Jackson coached the Warriors, the Warriors were a team with a gorgeous style of play, but the defense was bad, and it was difficult to even enter the playoffs, but after Jackson took charge, he established Curry as the core, while emphasizing the team's defense, so that the Warriors gradually became a team with balanced attack and defense, and became a regular visitor to the playoffs.
Although he ultimately failed to lead the Warriors further, Jackson's coaching ability has always been highly recognized, including Curry himself is also very recognized and grateful to Jackson. This may also be one of the reasons why James has a special love for Jackson, and once Jackson becomes the head coach of the Lakers, he may even make the Lakers the next Warrior and start a new Lakers dynasty.
But on the other hand, if Mark Jackson becomes the lakers' head coach, it may mean that Westbrook is very unstoppable. Because Jackson is actually a coach who attaches great importance to defense, but the attitude that Westbrook has shown this season has proved that he is not willing to work hard to defend, and such behavior will definitely lead to a conflict between him and Jackson.
It is worth mentioning that in today's interview, when asked what factors would make him interested in playing for the Lakers again, Wei Shao said: "Obviously, there will be a lot of changes, depending on who the coach is, and our style of play and how we play." So, that question is a bit unresolved. But once that decision is made, we'll start there. ”
This means that if new head coaches, such as Mark Jackson emphasize defense, or his tactics are not suitable for Westbrook, then Westbrook may not be willing to stay in the Lakers, and according to Jackson's coaching style in the past, he and Westbrook are basically compatible.
