Lakers’ Coaching Shifts Lead to New Opportunities
Following a disappointing playoff run, the Los Angeles Lakers are making significant changes to their coaching staff, with Jordan Ott finding a new role with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After the Lakers parted ways with their previous coaching team, including Jordan Ott, the search for a fresh direction led to the hiring of JJ Redick as the head coach. While Redick is assembling his new team, Ott has secured a position as an assistant coach under Kenny Atkinson for the Cavaliers. Ott’s experience includes eight years as an NBA assistant and connections from his time with the Brooklyn Nets and the Lakers, making him a valuable addition to Atkinson’s staff.
Meanwhile, Redick has successfully added Nate McMillan and Scott Brooks, both with head coaching experience, to his Lakers staff. These strategic moves by the Lakers and Ott’s transition to the Cavaliers highlight the ongoing reshuffling in the NBA coaching landscape as teams aim to strengthen their leadership in pursuit of success.
