The Los Angeles Lakers have begun the formal interview process to find their next head coach. Los Angeles has meet with a few candidates, and has meetings set up with several others. However, JJ Redick is starting to stand out among the pool of candidates.
The Lakers are reportedly “infatuated” with the idea of Redick as their next head coach. They see Redick as a Pat Riley-like coaching prospect who could lead the franchise for years.
Los Angeles has also interviewed James Borrego and Sam Cassell. They also plan to interview David Adelman, Micah Nori and Chris Quinn.
LeBron James is reportedly not involved in the process of identifying the team’s next head coach. Los Angeles views the next head coach as more of a hire for a team led by Anthony Davis, than a team led by James.
