After firing Darvin Ham last week, the Los Angeles Lakers seem ready to take their time when it comes to deciding who to hire as their new head coach.
It seems like the smart thing to do. There aren’t any extremely attractive candidates available, but there are a few interesting ones who could possibly get the job done.
LeBron James is widely expected to stay with the Lakers, which means they’ll still be in win-now mode. That means they will require a coach who has the ability to get them to succeed right now without needing time to grow into a winning coach.
