Fresh off one of the most disappointing seasons in team history, the Lakers will have a bunch boxes they need to check this offseason in order to get back on the road to contention. Potentially the biggest, and most immediate, of those areas of attention will be hiring a new head coach.
Although the playoffs remain ongoing, this has not cooled down the rumor mill when it comes to potential replacements, as well as whose voices will have a say on the matter. On Tuesday, the latest news surrounding the team centered on both.
According to Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer, sources close to the situation have suggested that “pessimism persists” in relation to current Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder’s potential interest in the Lakers’ opening.
