Important to move ahead as quickly as possible. Looks like there are multiple quality candidates who could take over from Ham, especially if finances will not be a problem this time around.
Candidates Lakers should definitely interview include Mike Budenholzer, Phil Handy, David Adleman, Ty Lue, Kenny Atkinson, J.J. Reddick, Jordi Fernandez, Charles Lee, and Rajon Rondo.
I’m not worried about lack of coaching experience and the three guys I like most for Lakers are Adleman, Reddick, and Rondo. All three would be excellent choices who could become great head coaches.
If Lakers hire a first time coach, they should also hire an experienced head coach to mentor the new coach as his lead assistant.
