The NBA’s coaching carousel during the offseason has finally started to slow down as teams have begun to fill in their head coaching vacancies.
The Los Angeles Lakers saw Jason Kidd leave for the Dallas Mavericks after they agreed to part ways with Rick Carlisle. Carlisle would later end up with the Indiana Pacers, while another big name in Chauncey Billups landed with the Portland Trail Blazers. Meanwhile, people like Ime Udoka, Wes Unseld Jr. and Willie Green finally get their shot to be head coaches.
With Kidd moving to the Mavericks, the Lakers filled his spot on the bench with David Fizdale.
