The Lakers need to find a suitable new head coach in this offseason, and in the past period, there have been rumors that the Lakers will have a greater interest in Raptors head coach Nick Nas, and in an interview Nick Nas responded to the Lakers' "interest" in him:
'I don't know where the news came from, I'll just focus on coaching the current team.
That said, at least for now, Nick Nas has no interest in coaching the Lakers.
However, the Lakers have also made progress in the new head coach, according to US media reports, the Lakers have been approved to interview the Bucks' core assistant coach Darwin Ham:
Ham has played the role of bucks assistant coach since 2018 and helped the Bucks win a championship trophy in the 2020-21 season. So far, there is also news in the league that former Warriors coach Mark Jackson and Juwan Howard, who currently coaches the University of Michigan Wolverines, are also important candidates for the new Lakers' head coach.
However, according to the US media Mark Stein, the Lakers hope to find a head coach who can satisfy LeBron James, which also means that the head coach needs to have the reputation and qualification to win at a high level of competition, considering that the choice of this level coach is indeed limited, this will still be a lot of difficulty for the Lakers:
For the current Lakers, finding the right head coach is indeed an important premise for them to build a championship lineup again.
