So, the Lakers still have a coaching vacancy. But, who would want this ridiculous game of musical chairs?
First of all, you have a meddling, incompetent ownership group to deal with who will probably get you on the cheap because they like to spend/blow all their money on aging superstars. Next, is kowtowing, accommodating and acquiescing to the whims and ego of that aging superstar or find yourself gone before your tenure is up. Then, there’s the flawed lineup: no, established backup center, a weak bench and no third reliable scoring option in your starting five. Finally, you can forget about developing young, promising talent because they’ll be gone before you know it.
Um … sounds like a “great“ Job opportunity.
It’s definitely not the most attractive position right now. Showtime + Win Now + Fan Base + Aging Superstar make it one extremely volatile position to be in. Not looking good tbh, considering they’re looking at a pool of JJ, Sam Cassell, etc etc. I may be wrong but I don’t think there are any Championship caliber HC’s available now that Bud is with the Suns.
