Just a few days before the Draft and the opening of free agency, the Lakers have still not found Darvin Ham’s successor as coach. And after Dan Hurley, another of the main avenues activated in this regard could well fail.
By announcing the departure of Darvin Ham on May 3, they had the luxury of being able to take their time before appointing their new coach.
A month later, however, the Lakers still have not found the right man.
Worse still, their number 1 target for the position, Dan Hurley, has just declined their offer, considered too insufficient by many of their fans .
And they might not be at the end of their surprises.
The Lakers facing a new refusal for their coaching position?
While the Hurley file has just been closed on the Los Angeles side, a potential surprise plan B could be activated there .
Otherwise, logic would dictate that JJ Redick once again finds himself in pole position to take the helm of the Purple & Gold coaching staff.
However, this would no longer be a certainty according to the latest information reported by Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports :
Some in the league feel that JJ Redick doesn’t want to come into this circus or be a second choice, even if he wants to coach.
The Lakers, for their part, seem very intrigued by his profile for who knows what reason and their attention should be turned to him.
Because after all, who else could she turn to? The coaching cycle is almost complete, and Redick hosts a podcast with… LeBron James.
Long designated as the favorite to succeed Ham, could Redick take badly the fact of having temporarily been overtaken in the minds of the Angelino leaders?
In any case, this is the rumor that seems to be circulating in the NBA and which is unlikely to restore the image of the franchise if it were to be verified. For now, Internet users’ reactions appear to be divided between understanding and humor:
I don’t think anyone would blame him for not taking the job.
LeBron on their next podcast after JJ called the Lakers a ‘circus’
Since nothing will obviously be simple for the Lakers in their quest for a new coach, JJ Redick could fail them following the Dan Hurley soap opera. Regardless, time is running out for the Angelinos ahead of key upcoming deadlines.
