On May 4, Beijing time, the NBA coach selection battle has begun, and the situation of the Lakers is very unfavorable, because many of the Lakers' manager target candidates are facing other teams to grab, and the other party has begun to interview, and the Lakers' coach selection work is in a backward situation. According to Charania, the Hornets have already interviewed D'Antoni and will interview Darwin Hamm offline later this week. In addition, according to open-air stand reporter Jack Fisher, Mark Jackson led the battle for the King's title. Snyder is the Hornets coaching candidate, and the Lakers coaching position is not attractive to Snyder.
The Lakers had previously applied to the Bucks for an interview with Darwin Hamm, and then there was no new development, but now that the Hornets seemed to be ahead of the curve, Hamm decided to participate in the interview for the Hornets coaching position.
Previously, Snyder and Mark Jackson had been considered candidates for the new Lakers' coach, but it seems that these two did not have a particularly large interest in the Lakers' coaching position. Mark Jackson has denied that the Lakers contacted him, and according to Jack Fisher, multiple sources close to Snyder also revealed that although the Lakers are known to be interested in him, the Lakers coach position is not attractive to Snyder.
Snyder currently has a one-year contract with the Jazz, and the Jazz have not sacked Snyder.
Mark Jackson led the battle for the New Kings, following news that Mark Jackson, Mike Brown and Steve Clifford were the final candidates for the Kings' title, and mark Jackson is now in the lead. Kings has completed initial interviews, Kings boss Ranadivi is interested in Mark Jackson, and he tried to push Kings to hire Mark Jackson as a teaching assistant in 2020, but it was not decided.
Mark Jackson coached the Warriors, laying the foundation for the Warriors' dynasties, but was later fired by the Warriors, and Steve Kerr subsequently had great success.
The Lakers' selection of coaches is already unfavorable, and there are not many outstanding managers left in the league, and the first move is strong, and the second hand suffers. If the good coach is robbed, can the Lakers still find a manager who convinces James?
The Lakers coaching position is not particularly attractive now, because it is not that the Lakers can win the championship as the Lakers coach, after all, this season the Lakers have built the big three but have not even scored in the playoffs. Conversely, if the Lakers don't do well, the manager will become a scapegoat. Obviously, the pressure to be a Lakers manager is far greater than the pressure to be a Hornets or Kings coach.
The battle for the coach has begun, but the Lakers do not seem to have fully competed for the target candidate, and the king and the Hornets are ahead of the battle. Lakers general manager Pelinka is facing another huge test, he has been criticized for two consecutive offseason operations, and this year's situation is still not good.
