Rumors of departures and arrivals at the Lakers are already rife, and several pretty names are now being mentioned as potential Angelinos recruits. A former Warriors executive would be the right man, for example, according to an analyst!
Similar to last season, talks about them will focus on rebuilding the squad this summer. Unlike last season, these occur even before the start of the playoffs. Eliminated from the play-in race, the Lakers are already at the heart of rumors for the offseason. And while departures will appear essential, the time has already come to reflect on future arrivals in the team.
The founder of the Warriors dynasty at the head of the Lakers?
By taking a look at the current state of the angelino roster, and the various salaries that make it up, it is difficult to determine how Rob Pelinka will be able to significantly strengthen it in the coming months. Failing to do so, Frank Vogel should be the first pawn removed from the chessboard. A slightly cruel but logical observation, according to the words delivered by Shannon Sharpe on the set of Undisputed,
The Lakers may need to hear a new voice. After all, they can’t get rid of all the players. And in any sport, when a team underperforms or fails to meet expectations, the coach becomes the scapegoat, and he’s the one who leaves. So unfortunately, even though he didn’t have a say in building this team, Frank Vogel is going to lose his job.
Indeed, a change of trainer seems to be one of the easy solutions to give new life to the Purple & Gold group. But then, which successor to choose? The consultant of FOX Sports has his own idea in mind, with a candidate for the position never mentioned before!
If they are looking for a new coach, in my opinion, it is Mark Jackson that they must seek to sign in priority.
At the head of the Warriors from 2011 to 2014, Jackson is considered by many as the one who laid the foundations of Golden State’s hegemony. However, since then, despite his good record in the Bay, the 57-year-old technician has not found any position in the league. An anomaly for Shannon Sharpe, who hopes he will finally get another chance to prove his worth in Los Angeles, this time with a roster ready for the title!
Mark Jackson should be entitled to a job interview! Jeanie (Buss), can you do this for me? Seriously, this man hasn’t forgotten how to coach! It was he who built the foundations of the Golden State Warriors. Draymond, Steph, Klay, Stephen Jackson… They all speak gloriously about this guy. Shit, it must be for a reason! I think he would be a great coach for the Lakers.
As with every dismissal of a coach in the NBA, the name of Mark Jackson appears sooner or later in the list of potential candidates for the job. After eight years away from the benches, will the former Warriors coach rebound at the Lakers? In any case, that’s what Shannon Sharpe hopes!
