On April 30, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs were in full swing. The Lakers finished with just 33 wins and 49 losses in the regular season, ranking 11th in the West and missing out on the playoffs. After the end of the regular season, the Lakers fired their coach Vogel, and the Lakers are currently working intensively on the selection of the coach.
Earlier today, Shams reported that the Lakers' coaching efforts have moved into the next phase, and they have submitted an application to interview Bucks assistant coach Darwin Ham. Darwin Ham began his teaching assistantship in 2008, joining the Lakers coaching staff in October 2011 and becoming a member of the Eagles' teaching assistant team in 2013. Since 2018, he has joined the Bucks with Budenholzer and has been with him ever since, helping the Bucks win their second NBA championship in 2020-21.
In addition, according to marc Stein, the Lakers are seriously considering making Snyder the team's new manager, but in coaching circles, many people doubt that Snyder is willing to leave the Jazz. In the just-concluded playoff first round, the Jazz were eliminated by the Lone Rangers 2-4, and they once again failed to make a breakthrough in the playoffs. However, although the Jazz were out of the first round, the team did not blame Snyder for the failure, and he was still respected in the team.
In addition, Marc Stein also pointed out that Snyder has a very large control and influence in the Jazz. While Vogel's Lakers have experienced countless chaos over the past two seasons, he is not allowed to select any members of the teaching assistant team, and all the work needs to be heeded by The Lakers' senior adviser Lambis. Therefore, schneider can choose to take over the Lakers coach position is questionable.
