In the world of basketball, the Lakers have always been full of celebrities, from Magic Johnson to Kobe Bryant, and now to LeBron James, the story of the Purple and Gold Dynasty is always so fascinating. Recently, a news from the Lakers team was shocking - they actually started a "three-choice" drama in such a major event as selecting a coach, and the list of candidates is still Redick, James Borrego, Sam Cassel, three names that seem to have nothing to do with the Lakers.
This can't help but remind people of the old saying: "Go to the doctor in a hurry". The Lakers seem to be really panicking after a slippery slope after winning the championship in 2020 and back-to-back losses in the playoffs last year and this year. They first fired championship coach Vogel, and then let Ham end up hastily, and now they are even more scrambling when it comes to selecting a coach.
Let's take a look at these three candidates first. Redick, a former NBA player, has a close personal relationship with James, but he has almost zero experience in coaching. Can a rookie coach with no coaching experience really lead the Lakers back to the top? This can't help but make people put a big question mark.
Then there's James Borrego and Sam Cassel, who both have experience as assistant coaches, but their influence in the coaching world is minimal. Especially in a giant team like the Lakers, can a little-known coach really suppress those stars worth tens of millions? This is probably also unknown.
The Lakers' predicament of selecting a coach this time is actually not difficult to understand. Their favorite coaches such as Kidd, Tyronn Lue, and Budenholzer all failed to join for various reasons. Kidd opted to re-sign with the Mavericks, Tyronn Lue and the Clippers were eye-catching, and Budenholzer joined the Suns on a sky-high contract. The departure of these favorite candidates one by one has made the Lakers' road to coach selection more and more difficult.
Isn't the Lakers' coach selection a microcosm of their own management chaos? From firing Vogel, to letting Ham end up in a hurry, to now hesitating in the selection of a coach, Lakers management always seems to be making puzzling decisions. Can such management really bring the Lakers back to the top?
Nor can we deny the potential of these three candidates. In the world of basketball, every coach has gone from nobody to top. Perhaps, one of them can become the new helmsman of the Lakers and lead the Lakers back to the top.
We should also recognize that the challenges facing these three candidates are enormous. Not only will they have to face stars who are worth tens of millions, but they will also have to face fans and media who have high hopes for the Lakers. Under such pressure, it is still unknown whether they can withstand the pressure and lead the Lakers out of the doldrums.
What's more, the Lakers' current problems cannot be solved by just changing a coach. Problems such as their aging squad, single tactics, and weak defense all require in-depth reform and adjustment. If the Lakers were just hoping that a change of coach would solve all their problems, they would be disappointed again.
At this moment of coach selection, we might as well predict the final selection of the Lakers. Is Redick, who has a good relationship with James? Or James Borrego and Sam Cassel, who have experience as assistant coaches? Regardless of which coach they choose, the Lakers will need to show more strength and fighting spirit in future games. In this highly competitive alliance, only continuous improvement and self-breakthrough can be invincible.
For those of us who are onlookers, perhaps more concerned is the future fate of the Lakers. Will they be able to get out of the slump with a new coach? Will you be able to show more strength and fighting spirit in the coming season? These are all issues that deserve our attention and expectation.
The Lakers' coach selection drama has been staged, and no matter what the outcome is, it will attract widespread attention and discussion. As fans and spectators, we will continue to pay close attention to the Lakers' dynamics and game performance, and look forward to their ability to show even better strength and style in future games. For the Lakers, what they need more is to calm down, reflect on their problems, and find solutions that can really lead the team out of the trough.
