The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly linked three of the best assistant coaches in the NBA to take Darvin Ham’s post, who was sacked lately.

In addition to Boston’s Charles Lee, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times listed Denver’s David Adelman, Minneapolis’s Micah Noria, and Dallas’ Sean Sweeney as potential assistant coaches.

Tyronn Lue is still their first choice, but both the Los Angeles Clippers and Lue are open to extending their deal.

The Lakers are still in their early phases as of midweek, according to sources close to the team and outside coaches who characterize them as “taking their time.”

(Unless Tyronn Lue, for example, changes),” Woike wrote on May 8.

Woike stated that the Lakers are casting a broad net, even though Lue is an example of the team prioritizing experience over inexperienced coaches like Ham.

Indeed, that entails having coaches with a track record in the front row on the sidelines. However, it also entails taking into account some of the most well-known assistant coaches, including those who are now employed in the postseason, such Dallas’ Sean Sweeney, Denver’s David Adelman, Minnesota’s Micah Noria, and Boston’s Charles Lee.

Indeed, it entails giving broadcaster and podcaster JJ Redick substantial attention, even though he hasn’t coached anything but his son’s New York City youth squad. Written by Woike.

Along with former Milwaukee Bucks champion coach Mike Budenholzer, Kenny Atkinson of Golden State is the other assistant coach being considered. Atkinson previously served as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets.

The betting favorite to join the Lakers is Mike Budenholzer.The only contender for head coach who has won an NBA championship is Budenholzer. Thus, the bookies have him as the front-runner to take over for LeBron James on a squad that is fast approaching its next championship.

Redick (+260) and Lue (+290) are not far behind Budenholzer, who is the +225 favorite to replace Ham at Draft Kings Sportsbook.Budenholzer led the Bucks, led by Giannis Antetotokounmpo, whose power plays and transition game are similar to James’, to their first NBA Championship in fifty years.

Lakers Are Clearly in Love with Ty LueIf Lue becomes available, the Lakers will prioritize acquiring him, as reported by Zach Lowe of ESPN.

The Lakers are “openly smitten with the idea of getting Ty Lue,” ESPN’s Zach Lowe stated on Tuesday, May 7th, during the podcast “The Lowe Post.”

When Cleveland won its first NBA title in 2016, Lue was James’ coach. Together, they attended three NBA Finals.

On April 30, an unidentified NBA executive informed Sean Deveney of Heavy Sports, “That’s his guy.” “Among all the coaches LeBron has ever had, Ty stands out to him.” He now has free agency on his side, so if he is fired, he might be able to pressure the team to take action to keep his player.

However, Lue has previously stated that he plans to stick with the Lakers’ rival Clippers across town.

аfter lаst week’s first-rоund lоss tо the Mаvericks, Lue tоld repоrters, “I dоn’t reаlly hаve а cоmment оn thаt.” It’s wоnderful tо feel wаnted, аs yоu cаn see, but аs I’ve stаted befоre, I wаnt tо be here, аnd perhаps we cаn mаke thаt cleаr.
