It should not have sat well for most Los Angeles Lakers fans that their historic rivals, the Boston Celtics, now own the most championships by a franchise in league history. So, the first step in ensuring that the LeBron James and Anthony Davis-led squad gets back up on their feet is getting a head coach. JJ Redick still remains the frontrunner for the position. It was rumored that a deal would be done after the NBA Finals. What happened? Well, Shams Charania is one of the only few names who might be able to give a reliable answer.
The Lakers still do not have a head coach. Dan Hurley was the closest they had to getting a deal done. The legendary head honcho chose to stay with the UConn Huskies. So, they have reverted back to trying to conduct advanced stages of interviews and meeting with other candidates. James Borrego and Micah Nori were big names in the mix but it has always been JJ Redick who is the reported frontrunner for the position. Since no deal has been done a day after the NBA Finals, the Lakers faithful got a bit worried.
