Insider Shares Recent Lakers’ Coaching Search Update
In recent weeks, the Los Angeles Lakers have been actively searching for a new head coach following their parting with Darvin Ham after two seasons. Despite various candidates being considered for the role, indications suggest that the Lakers are leaning towards hiring newcomer JJ Redick as their new sideline leader.
However, there was a twist in the narrative on Wednesday, as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski provided an update on the team’s current approach to the coaching search. According to Wojnarowski, the Lakers are taking their time with the process and are in no rush to make a decision. He mentioned that there is “no obvious choice” available and emphasized the absence of star coaches in the market.
The Lakers may be waiting until the conclusion of the NBA playoffs to assess any potential candidates who could emerge during this time. The lack of prominent coaching figures currently available may be contributing to the team’s deliberate approach to the hiring process.
Despite Redick being considered a frontrunner for the position in certain circles, the Lakers have yet to finalize their decision. As the team continues to evaluate coaching options, it remains to be seen if any new names will surface as potential candidates.
