On May 15, Beijing time, although the second round of the NBA playoffs is still in full swing, many eliminated teams have focused on reinforcement and change, before the Suns introduced Budenholzer to completely disrupt the Lakers' plans, so the Lakers are now also actively looking for a coach, before the news was that the Lakers were interested in Timberwolves assistant coach McCanori and Nuggets assistant coach Adelman.
And today Shams brought the exact news, as far as he reported, now the Lakers' initial plan is to select a new coach from Redick, Borrego, and Cassel, of which Redick is temporarily in the leading position, if the three do not meet the team's requirements in the end, the Lakers will make the next step, they are also very interested in the old K coach, but the old K advocates tactics more than everything, rather than superstar basketball, so he is unlikely to coach.
However, Coach K is now an unofficial consultant resource for the Lakers, and he knows Redick and other candidates very well, so he helped the Lakers and made the Lakers familiar with their next coach, which means that these three have been initially recognized by Old K. Among the three, Borrego has coaching experience as a head coach, while Cassel has been an assistant coach for many years, and he can lead the locker room very well, although Redick has no coaching experience, but the Lakers think he is smart and can grow with the team.
In addition, Shams also talked about the original intention of this change of coach, he said that the Lakers' change of coach this time is not for James, but for thick eyebrows, according to him, the new coach of the Lakers may face the end of the era of James and thick eyebrows, and the team will usher in a new era of building a team based on thick eyebrows, the Lakers hope to find a coach who will grow with the development of the team in the next few years, and they pay more attention to whether the new coach can maximize the ability of thick eyebrows.
This is also the first time that the Lakers have hired a coach for the sake of thick eyebrows, not James. The main reason why there is no appointment of a coach around James may be that James will leave the team, after all, James has a player option, whether he will leave the team for the sake of father and son on the same stage, everything is still hard to say, coupled with the rise in the age of Lao Zhan, the Lakers have indeed reached the time to build a team around thick eyebrows.
However, the Lakers are not stupid enough to completely give up the idea of James, according to American media reports, the Lakers are open to renewing James and selecting Bronny, which means that if they have the opportunity, they will definitely do it, but they will not be too extravagant. And James seems to have started to put pressure on the Lakers, recently James watched the game between the Cavaliers and the Celtics, I guess everyone already knows, the old James returned to Cleveland to watch the game.
The last time James returned to the Cavaliers' home court as another player was the big Z retirement, but a few months later, the old James returned to the Cavaliers from the Heat, according to the name of the Winshorst, after the end of this season, James repeatedly said on his blog that he would not participate in the discussion of the future of the Lakers, and secondly, the recent joint trial just ended, James knew that he would cause a sensation when he went to watch the Cavaliers' game, and he did so to remind the Lakers and create pressure on the Lakers.
In addition, the Cavaliers also revealed that Rich Paul asked the Cavaliers who the draft pick would ultimately pick, which undoubtedly shows that James is very concerned about whether the Cavaliers will choose Bronny, after all, in addition to the current Lakers, the Cavaliers are James' second home, and his influence here is unique. Although Rich Paul has said that James may not be on the same team as Bronny, he is a father after all, and he also wants his son to be taken care of.
If the Cavaliers really chose Bronny, maybe James will return to the Cavaliers in the final stage of his career, after all, this is where his dream began, and if he returns to the Cavaliers for the rest of his life, it will be a good story, I believe many fans and James want to do so. To be honest, although the Lakers are talking about choosing a coach for thick eyebrows, they want to take Redick, and I think the more reason is James, after all, the two have a good relationship, and Redick and James are now working together on a show.
But as far as James's style of doing things is concerned, he obviously won't stay with the Lakers for such a relationship, and now James may think more about not being able to continue to win the championship, and what we just talked about, he wants to do more for Bronny, Lao Zhan is 40 years old after all, for him, the interests may not be in the first place, he has made enough money, and the most important thing for a player like him to win may be the most important thing.
And if the Lakers can bring in a suitable star, I think they may be more likely to keep James, and the Lakers are now relieved, Reaves, who was previously considered not for sale, can finally be traded, according to the Lakers team reporter, the Lakers will only use Reaves to exchange for a real All-Star, otherwise the Lakers will not trade him. Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current Lakers? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
