On April 28, Beijing time, when the Lakers ended a failed season, championship coach Vogel has been sacked, and their operation this summer has attracted much attention. Now lakers star O'Neal in an interview, openly talk about the Lakers' problems, and give the Lakers support. O'Neal believes the Lakers should keep James, Thick Brow and Westbrook big three, and equip them with enough young players instead of hoarding veterans, and the Lakers should hire former Warriors coach Mark Jackson.
In the 2021-22 season that the Lakers have ended, injuries are the number one factor that ruined the Lakers, and James and Thick Brow have suffered serious injuries, resulting in them missing a large number of games, especially the injury of Thick Brow brother has become a key factor in the Lakers' collapse.
However, the Lakers' aging lineup, the most inevitable is injury, especially the hoarding of a bunch of veterans, such as Anthony, Ariza, Howard, Ellington and so on.
In this case, O'Neal suggested that the Lakers should keep James, Thick Brow and Westbrook, after all, they really don't have enough games. It's just that the Big Three need to be equipped with enough young players to hit shots, and O'Neal's rationale is, "I think their roster has to get younger, so if they're going to keep James, Westbrook and Thick Brow, the other players have to be very young, you can't have five or six veterans over the age of 30, because the league is getting younger and faster right now." Let this bunch of old guys play against the young players, and that's unlikely to work consistently in 82 long regular season games. ”
As for the lakers' new manager, O'Neal also suggested that the Lakers hire former Warriors coach Mark Jackson, "Before Kerr took the Warriors to a whole new level, Mark Jackson helped the Warriors lay a solid foundation, and he did not get the praise he deserved, so I believe he can do this with James, Westbrook and so on." ”
Mark Jackson in the past to coach the Warriors, he led the Warriors to 121 wins and 109 losses in the regular season in 2011-14, and now Mark Jackson has transformed into a commentator, and he will interview for the King's manager position next week, there is no doubt that the Lakers should act, after all, James is also inclined to let Mark Jackson coach.
