Coaching Carousel in the NBA
The Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers are the last NBA teams in search of a head coach, with overlapping interests in several candidates.
The Lakers, in a critical win-now phase with LeBron James, are considering Micah Nori, Kenny Atkinson, James Borrego, and Chris Quinn for their coaching vacancy. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers, with high hopes for their roster and star guard Donovan Mitchell, have been given the green light to interview Nori, an Ohio native, and others for their head coaching role. This development adds to the urgency for the Lakers, who see JJ Redick as a leading candidate but risk losing other options to the Cavaliers.
Donovan Mitchell’s decision to stay with the Cavaliers could be swayed by their coaching hire. While the Lakers are also monitoring Mitchell’s situation, Cleveland is optimistic about securing his extension. The outcome of these coaching decisions could significantly impact both teams’ futures and the league’s dynamics.
