Beijing time on April 20, 2022, for the current Los Angeles Lakers, handling The Westbrook contract and choosing a new manager are the top priorities of their offseason work. Just today, according to the American media The Athelic, the Lakers' coach selection work has made new progress today: If Mark Jackson becomes the new coach of the Lakers, James will be very excited.
In previous reports, the current list of potential candidates for the Lakers coach is: Raptors coach Nick Nas, Jazz coach Snyder, coach 76er Rivers, University of Michigan head coach Juwan Howard, Clifford, former Trail Blazers coach Stotts, Darwin Hamm and former Cavaliers coach Mike Brown. Although the Lakers' head coach has a long list of favorites, it is understood that there are few people who really want to take over the Lakers' coaching position, because they refer to the end of Vogel's "back pot" class, and they are very worried about their reputation and the future of the Lakers.
At present, former Warriors coach Mark Jackson and current Jazz coach Snyder are the most likely candidates to take over the Lakers' coaching position. After Kerr joined the Warriors, Mark Jackson became a commentator until now. In the rumors of the outside world, there have been rumors that Steve Cole took over the "full rank" trained by Mark Jackson. As a head coach, Mark Jackson's coaching ability is still outstanding, and he was fired by the Warriors that year.
Now, Mark Jackson is the number one candidate for the Lakers' head coach because the Lakers' number one star, LeBron James, was impressed by his coaching ability that year. If Jackson becomes the Lakers manager, James is still very satisfied. In fact, Mark Jackson became the Lakers coach, which is a good choice for the Lakers management, because since James is satisfied, this is an important step for them to "not waste the last peak of James's career".
And Mark Jackson is a coach who is very good at cultivating young people, if the Lakers give him a long contract, in the future when James retires and the Lakers begin to rebuild, they can also cultivate rookie players for the Lakers, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Finally, there is Another candidate for the Lakers, Snyder, who has been in charge of the Jazz coach for many years. But as things stand, the Jazz's prospects for a playoff victory over the Lone Rangers in this round are overshadowed. They've made it to the playoffs for five straight years, but none of them have been successful. Some say one of The Gobert and Mitchell's duo could leave the team if the Jazz are out of the first round this year.
But for now, it seems that the Jazz are out of the first round, and it is likely that Schneider will be the one behind the pot, and the Jazz are likely to seek a new head coach to lead the team. However, "the tree is dead, the people are moved to live", which provides an opportunity for Schneider to enter the Lakers, and Schneider may be able to find a more suitable position for himself. Who do you think Jackson or Schneider is more suitable for the Lakers? Feel free to leave a message in the comments section to discuss!
