The Lakers have been prophesying the passing of the torch for years. By career time, it should be obvious that the project belongs to Anthony Davis. But the figure of LeBron James together with certain doubts with the availability and character of La Ceja have caused this to not end up happening. In these playoffs, probably also in the regular league, Davis has finally been the more or less clear leader in sports. And in the organization too They want it to be beyond the playing field..
For this reason, already immersed in the search for a new coach after the dismissal of Darvin Ham, the franchise leaks that Davis will take the lead when consulting for the next coach. As Dave McMenamin points out in ESPN, the Lakers see sense in AD being the one closest to the decision-making because his contract, with the exception of James’, links him to the team’s future in the medium term. LeBron will obviously continue to have a say in the process, even if he has not yet made a decision on his player option next year.
