My top preferences for the Lakers to pursue for their new head coach are Micah Nori and David Adelman.
I'd also want to interview Budenholzer, Lue, Atkinson, & Lee. That's my full list of 6.
Among reported LA interest they're 6/6 here + 2 I'm not interested in (Redick & Kidd).

My top preferences for the Lakers

While we are dealing with a coaching vacancy, there is something else out there that is getting my attention: the Celtics. I won’t be comfortable until they are eliminated. I don’t want them to get to #18 before us.
Irony of course being the Lakers could’ve draft Tatum and Brown (they took Ball and Ingram instead). Just another nod to management incompetence in the post-Dr. Buss era and there’s a good chance it gets the Celtics another ring before LA.
So true!! @Thereslhtj
Would the AD trade never have happened then? Cause if so they’d be gone.
That’s the fun part about what if’s
Kidd and Lue are under contract and would have to be fired to be available, we ain’t trading for a coach, any list that has Lue or Kidd on it is bonafide click bait.
It goes beyond who the Lakers drafted. They used DLO for a salary dump when his trade value was high. Magic admitted that was a mistake. They Randle walk for nothing even though he had been improving every year. And trade Zubac that had Doc Rivers laughing at us.
Sure, it was a combination of missing potential #1 guys for who they did pick, and then mismanaging the assets they did have.
To me, wrapping Zubac as a gift for Clippers was the most punitive. Randle comes a close second. I am still hurting from that blunder.
