According to Shams, the Lakers coaching effort has ushered in a new development, and the team has submitted an application to interview Bucks assistant coach Darwin Ham.
Darwin Ham was a 1996 draft winner who played six teams over eight seasons and also had extensive experience playing overseas, playing in development leagues at the end of his career and beginning a coaching role.
This also allowed him to start his career as a coach and officially enter the NBA in 2011, when he played for the Lakers and gave Mike Brown an assistant coach.
He then signed with the Hawks as a teaching assistant in 2013 and has been with Budenholzer ever since.
After Budenholzer joined the Bucks, he also went to the Bucks as an assistant coach and is now the Bucks' chief assistant coach.
Interestingly, shortly after the news was revealed, Lakers veteran Kuzma publicly supported the new coach, bluntly saying that Darwin Ham deserved a coaching job.
In addition to the Bucks assistant coach, the Lakers are also two hands in the selection of the coach, and have been staring at another famous coach.
According to Marc Stein, the Lakers are very interested in Jazz coach Snyder, but there are questions in coaching circles about whether the latter will leave the Jazz.
And Snyder has gained enough respect and power in the Jazz, he has a very strong control and influence in the team, even if the team is eliminated in the first round again, internally do not believe that the responsibility should be blamed on Snyder.
On the other hand, the Lakers, the team's requirements for Vogel are almost harsh, and he has no place within the team.
Not only was it impossible to pick the assistant coach team on its own, but almost all of the work had to be done on the advice of senior adviser Rambis, who had publicly reprimanded Vogel in the team's internal training more than once.
Therefore, shortly after Vogel was fired, there was news that Snyder was dissatisfied with the Lakers' practices, leading to his intention to go to the Lakers to coach is decreasing significantly.
In response to this situation, Lakers and team reporter Jovan Buha has explained the relevant problems in detail when interacting with fans at The Athletic.
First of all, the Lakers' main task this summer is two, the first is to select the right manager, and the other is to exchange the right players for some suitable players around this manager.
In response to the issue of selecting a manager, the Lakers are also very clear internally, because of the team's behavior in the past few seasons, both fans and coaching circles are very disgusted with the Lakers management.
But the Lakers are also very clear internally, and choosing a suitable coach is the most important reinforcement path for the Lakers at present.
Because the team has limited quality chips in hand, choosing a suitable manager can increase the team's upper and lower limits at the same time.
Therefore, the team is very eager to find a suitable manager, based on the current situation, the Lakers are willing to attract some famous coaches by paying more salaries.
The Lakers may offer coaches like Nas, Snyder and Rivers a 4-year, or even 5-year long contract to dispel the scruples of the Lakers' management.
And the average salary of this contract Lakers are willing to give $7 million, or even higher, as long as the coach is willing to join the Lakers.
Of course, the Lakers are also ready to play a backhand, that is, to pick some less famous and experienced coaches, these coaches The Lakers are only willing to sign a short contract with them, because the Lakers management believes that the Purple and Gold Team's signboard is enough to attract some less famous managers to join the team.
