Gray clouds are looming over the Los Angeles Lakers and their future. Following an incredibly devastating first-round defeat at the hands of the Denver Nuggets, the Lakers face what could be their most important offseason in recent history. Several key decisions need to be made regarding LeBron James’ future, and above all, their next head coach.
Earlier in the week, the Los Angeles Lakers decided to part ways with Darvin Ham. During his two-season stint, Darvin Ham led the Lakers to victory in 90 out of 164 games. He also guided the Lakers to the Western Conference Finals last season and the inaugural in-season tournament. However, failure to progress deep into the postseason seemed to be his undoing. Several coaches are in the fray for the head coaching gig, and the Lakers’ search will commence soon. Candidates like Kenny Atkinson, JJ Redick, and potentially Ty Lue are all under consideration.
Moreover, according to Forbes’ Evan Sidery, “The Lakers will interview Timberwolves lead assistant Micah Nori for their head coach vacancy.” This decision has bemused many Lakers fans. However, Bucks veteran Patrick Beverley has vouched for Micah Nori. He couldn’t hide his excitement about the news, as he commented via his official X (formerly Twitter) account. He wrote, “This right here tho.” Several fire emojis accompanied his comments.”
