When the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated 4-1 by the defending champion Nuggets, Lakers management immediately made a bombshell decision. Fired the team's coach Hamm, and prepared to hire another high-mindedness. Let's be honest, Ham was at risk of being out of the game before the trade deadline this season. However, Russell's excellent performance, raising Ham's hand, the record is not too ugly, and James is satisfied with him, the Lakers management did not hurt the killer.
But after Ham got out of class, the Lakers executives listed several major crimes against Ham. For example, in some media conferences about team defeats, Ham never admitted that he was incompetent, instead shifting the blame for the losses on the players. I still remember what I said at the end of class, Hamm said Russell was incompetent! Secondly, Hamm's rotation schedule was problematic, which led to the dissatisfaction of many players. Lao Zhan even ignored his tactical arrangement, and his thick eyebrows didn't have a good face for him.
After Ham left class, the Lakers slowed down the election of a new head coach. But what is certain is that the work has been advancing. According to the latest situation, the Lakers have narrowed the scope of the coach to three, including JJ Redick. Shams also followed up on the report and said Redick is currently the frontrunner for the manager.
The Lakers, on their side, are preparing for an interview with the coach. The three are: former Hornets coach James Borrego, assistant coach Sam Cassel and JJ Redick. But, this guy Redick, after retiring, didn't even work as an assistant coach, so he went to work as a basketball commentator for ESPN. At best, he is a critic who knows more about the ball than most officials. To step from the Internet keyboard warrior to the position of the favorite to win the championship, is the Lakers' consideration inappropriate?
On the Lakers' side, the idea was interesting at first. He wants to poach Clippers coach Tyronn Lue, Mavericks coach Kidd, Warriors assistant coach Akintson, former Bucks coach Buden Holzer, and Celtics assistant coach Charles Lee. Kidd has completed a contract extension with the Mavericks, and Budenholzer was hired by the Suns for five years and 50 million. Tyronn Lue made it clear that he didn't want to leave the Clippers. There is no news from Accinterson that Charles Lee has become the head coach of the Hornets.
None of the Lakers wanted. There are only these three brothers left, and Borrego is still a choice, but he has not made any achievements in leading the Hornets over the years. Redick, the most soft-spoken of all, previously participated in the interview for the coach of the Hornets, and participated in the interview for the coach of the Raptors last year. Although I didn't pass the interview, I gained some experience. The main thing is to talk on paper, and the experience is all accumulated by the interview.
The Lakers interview the head coach, what do they look at? First of all, the Lakers want a coach who can be in touch with James, at least not too contrary to his ideas. If you want to be a Lakers coach, Lao Zhan's nod is very crucial. Secondly, after Lao Zhan retired, he was able to build a strong team around thick eyebrows. Third, have a basic plan for the future. Fourth, you have to earn the respect of the players in the dressing room.
The Lakers coach is a hot potato right now, and Vogel and Ham didn't end well. Playing well is a matter of course. If you play poorly, you will be infinitely magnified and criticized!
