After a bad and chaotic season, the Los Angeles Lakers ushered in a short break. Compared with the regular season stage, the Lakers have kept a lot lower profile after entering the offseason. After Vogel was sacked at the end of the season, the Lakers top brass did not rush to identify a new manager, but entered a long period of inspection. After Vogel was sacked, the three coaches of Rivers, Schneider and Nass had a lot of gossip with the Lakers. However, in addition to Rivers, who is still leading the team to play the playoffs, Schneider and Nasdu either frontally or side denied the rumors with the Lakers. According to the Lakers' reports with reporters, the Lakers are not in a hurry at the moment, and they hope to identify a manager with absolute strength and experience. Of course, James's opinion is also very important. However, the Lakers have a great say in the coaching of the 38-year-old superstar, and there is also a senior celebrity, he is Phil Jackson.
According to the authoritative media ESPN, Phil Jackson has confirmed a comeback to join the Lakers management staffing consultant role. Jackson's opinion will play a very important role in the selection of the coach in the coming period. Not only because of his personal relationship with Jenny Bass, but also because of his vast experience and qualifications. After last season's failure, Jenny Bass seems reluctant to trust the immature coach and management in favor of experience and resume. As one of the most successful coaches in NBA history, Phil Jackson clearly doesn't lack the experience the Lakers need. The media believes that Phil Jackson's return to the team will bring the Lakers long-lost stability and allow the Los Angeles giants to stabilize in this turbulent offseason.
However, in addition to the positive voices, many people disagreed with Jackson's return to the Lakers. Many fans believe that Jackson is completely obsolete. In his eighties, he can no longer hold any position in an NBA team, let alone a coaching assignment. In fact, this is not the first time jackson has been involved in the Lakers' coaching matter, jackson was involved when the Lakers decided to hire Vogel. Although Vogel's victory over a title during his tenure made the decision a failure, it was by no means a success. It is doubtful that Phil Jackson was able to make a sound opinion, and his last collaboration with Lambis, the current senior consultant for the Lakers, was during the Knicks period, and the results were very unsatisfactory.
In any case, Jenny Bass had chosen to trust his old friend. The Eighty-Year-Old Zen Master came out of the mountains again, for the purple-gold of Los Angeles. As a coach, Jackson's success is unquestionable. Not only did he coach Jordan and Kobe Bryant and both win titles, but more importantly, his decades of experience in the league were not easily gained. But it is undeniable that the eighty-year-old Zen master has no energy to work on the front line of the alliance. Whether his experience can be applied in today's NBA, or whether he can return to the top of the Lakers is unknown. Do fans and friends think Zen Master can save the Lakers from fire and water?
