An intriguing candidate for Los Angeles emerges.
The Los Angeles Lakers may be in the midst of zeroing in on their next head coach . But, truly, they have bigger fish to fry this summer.
Given that they fire their head coaches every two or three years and have ever since Phil Jackson left, the bigger issue is team-building.Lakers starters have player options on the 2024-25 season: All-NBA starting combo forward LeBron James boasts a $51.4 million option, while starting point guard D'Angelo Russell has one worth $18.7 million. Should both opt in, the team will most likely have limited resources for signing big bucks players in free agency .
"If he isn't snatched up in the first wave of free agency, the Lakers should give him a look. They need a player who looks an awful lot like his best version: athletic, versatile on defense and capable of supporting offensive stars as a play finisher," Buckley writes. Across 18 games in the playoffs so far, the 6-foot-5 swingman is averaging 9.6 points on a .475/.400/.720 slash line, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, one blocks and 0.5 steals across 31.1 minutes a night.
