Anthony Irwin, a reporter for the Los Angeles-area media “Lakers Daily,” reported on the 3rd (Korea time) about the composition of the Los Angeles Lakers’ coaching staff.
According to reports, the Lakers seems to be facing difficulties in forming their coaching staff. The Lakers appointed JJ Redic as their new coach last month. Redic is one of the very first-timers who has neither been a coach nor a coach. Redic was a commentator on the American sports channel ESPN during the 2023-2024 season. He received good reviews as a commentator, but the coach is completely different.
It has been reported that the Lakers will be putting together a highly experienced veteran team of coaches for first-time coach Ledick. The veteran coaches contacted by the Lakers included James Borrego, a former coach of the Charlotte Hornets, Jared Dudley, a former coach of the Dallas Mavericks, Sam Kassel, an assist coach for the Boston Celtics, and Terry Stotts, a former coach of the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Lakers were rejected by all of these players. They even offered Stotts three times, all of which were rejected. Dwayne Casey, who coached the Detroit Pistons, was also recently rejected.
Now the Lakers are said to have put an offer on Scott Brooks, a former Washington Wizards coach, and Elvin Gentry, a former New Orleans Pelicans coach.
That’s why the coach position of the Lakers, the most prestigious professional baseball team in the NBA, is so unpopular. The biggest problem is reportedly the leadership of the Lakers. Recently, the NBA has seen the salaries of coaches skyrocket as well as the salaries of coaches. In contrast, the Lakers say that they do not offer high salaries to coaches.
He added that there is a high risk that the Lakers coach position will be fired. As the most popular baseball team, the Lakers have high expectations for its performance. If the performance is poor, not only the coach but also the coaches can be fired quickly.
For this reason, the Lakers are not finding a coach easily. If this situation continues, the burden on first-time coach Redic will be even greater. 토토사이트 모음
In addition, the Lakers have not been able to strengthen their power. There are many trade rumors, but no trade has actually been made. In the 2023-2024 season, the Lakers calmly saw their limits. Without player reinforcement, it could be difficult to advance to the playoffs. On top of that, the coach is a novice.
Fortunately, the Lakers’ coaching staff was announced on Wednesday. Adrian Woznarowski, a reporter for the U.S. sports channel ESPN, reported that the Lakers successfully appointed former Indiana Pacers coach Nate McMillan and Brooks as coaches. The two coaches are veterans of the NBA with 1,189 wins. The addition of the two coaches has eased the burden on coach Redic.
It is a fortunate situation for the Lakers. He was rejected by the coaches he had initially conceived, but he eventually appointed an experienced veteran as a coach.
