Beijing time on May 6, according to ESPN reporter Dave McCenamin, the Lakers coach selection will not only listen to James's ideas, they will also consider the opinions of the thick eyebrows. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue also officially responded to becoming a candidate for the Lakers' new coach, saying "it feels good to be needed."
"Of course, LeBron James' opinion will be considered, but it's not just James," McCenamin said on the show, "I also heard that Davis' opinion will be considered, and the team seems to believe that Davis Although James has taken the torch from James in the past year and a half, they have another voice, another leader, Anthony Davis, and the Lakers will also consider his opinion. ."
In the 2023-24 season, Big Eyebrow took on more responsibilities and became the leader of the Lakers together with James. The Lakers view Davis as a long-term member and really should have him as a stakeholder in key decisions, such as who to hire as head coach.
According to reports, the Lakers are currently considering looking for a more experienced head coach, and the names of Kidd, Tyronn Lue, Budenholzer and others have been mentioned. Among them, Lu’s guidance is very popular because he and James won the championship together in Cavaliers and have the experience of cooperation.
However, Lu has one year left on his contract with the Clippers, and the Clippers hope to renew Lu's contract in advance. Now that the Clippers have been eliminated, Lue can talk about his future.
“ I’m not here to run around. Mr. Ballmer (Clippers owner), Lawrence (Clippers president of basketball operations), Mark (Hughes) and Trent (Redden) have all been very good to me. It’s That's where I want to be. Hopefully they feel the same way."
Lue was also asked about the rumors about his specific connection to the Lakers and reiterated his desire to stay with the Clippers:
"I do. No comments. It's great to be needed. Like I said, I want to be coaching the Clippers and hopefully we can solidify that in 2019. There was an opportunity to hire Lue, but a deal could not be finalized. The Lakers hired Vogel and won a championship that season, and Lue eventually replaced Rivers as Clippers coach a year later.
