During his three seasons, one of the concerns with former Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton was his coaching staff.
There was a belief there wasn’t much experience outside of lead assistant Brian Shaw and Walton had a tendency to hire his friends from Arizona. This time around, the Lakers are making sure that won’t be an issue with head coach Frank Vogel.
The Lakers made former Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets head coach Jason Kidd the NBA’s highest paid assistant coach and now the team is also adding former Memphis Grizzlies and Nets head coach Lionel Hollins who has had plenty of success in the league.
