The Los Angeles Lakers began interviewing candidates for their vacant head coaching job last week. Three of the men they have reportedly interviewed so far are former NBA sharpshooter JJ Redick, longtime assistant coach Sam Cassell and New Orleans Pelicans associate head coach James Borrego.
Borrego previously spent four seasons as the head coach of the Charlotte Hornets. While he has interviewed for L.A.’s head coaching gig, he has also been rumored to be a candidate to be one of its assistant coaches if Redick becomes head coach, something many feel will happen.
