With Ham packing his bags and leaving Los Angeles, the Lakers are also scrambling to work on the new head coach, but the whole process has not been smooth due to financial reasons.
Prior to this, the Lakers' favorite coach had basically carved up seventy-seven eighty-eight, Budenholzer joined the Suns with an annual salary of 10 million, Coach Lu was not interested in the Lakers and just wanted to stay with the Clippers, and Kidd had renewed his contract with the Mavericks.
With these candidates gone, there are now only six left, and they are Reddick, Sam Cassel, David Adelman, James Borrego, McCa Norrie and Chris Quinn, according to Shams.
According to Lakers reporters, Redick is the most likely to become the new head coach of the Lakers, and he is in the lead among the six.
Good guys, if Redick is really made the head coach of the Lakers, then the Lakers will be completely dark, because compared to Ham, Redick's resume is even more bleak, Ham has at least 14 years of assistant coaching experience, and the latter has been a commentator and host since he retired, and he is a rookie with 0 experience and 0 record.
Lakers fans even exploded on the Internet, saying that Aunt Jenny was playing with fire again, and former head coach George Carr also complained about it, he bluntly said that Redick is not qualified to be a head coach at all, if the Lakers really want to play like this, it is better to ask Rondo to come back, anyway, it is all playing.
In fact, the head coach of the Lakers still has requirements, but Aunt Jenny is helpless, it is understood that the Lakers offer an annual salary of up to 5,6 million for the new coach, both the horse runs and the horse does not eat grass, how can there be such a good thing in the world.
In 2006, Redick was drafted by the Magic with the 11th pick in the first round, retired in 2021, and played a total of 940 games in the NBA for 15 years, averaging 12.8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and shooting 44.7%/41.5%/89.2% from three.
After Redick retired, he joined ESPN as a commentator, and in addition, he actually interviewed for the position of head coach, he interviewed the head coach of the Raptors and Hornets in '23 and 4 respectively, but was eventually brushed off.
With the exception of Redick, all other Lakers head coach candidates have experience as assistant coaches, but only James Borrego has experience as a coach, having been the Magic's interim head coach in '15, then the head coach of the Hornets in '18-22, and this year as an assistant coach for the Pelicans.
The other four are basically assistant coaches, but at least the experience is quite good, 15 years in Kassel, 13 years in David Adelman, 20 years in Norrie, and 10 years in Chris Quinn.
If you don't understand, ask who among these 6 people is suitable to be the new coach of the Lakers?
