ESPN’s Dave McMenamin on Timeline & Frontrunners for Lakers’ HC Job | The Rich Eisen Show
an update on the Lakers coaching search are you currently working with the next coach of the Los Angeles Lakers Dave what do you have well I’ll say this uh if JJ reck gets the job as the next coach of the Lakers and that’s certainly a possibility don’t expect it to happen till after the NBA Finals have occurred um it it’s an important assignment um for JJ personally an important assignment for the company obviously to have him with the a team with Doris Burke and Mike Breen and um Lisa Salters and so um don’t expect that news to to come down until uh the NBA Finals is over but he remains one of the you know targeted candidates along with James bgo and Sam Cassel um the Lakers have interviewed other candidates the Wolves Mike Nori David Alman of the Denver Nuggets and I believe I may have mentioned this last time we spoke this name last time we spoke until sty tyo of the Clippers has a contract extension uh don’t consider him out of the running uh for the Lakers next head coaching job it would seem unlikely considering the reporting that we’ve already had from Adrian wowski that the Clippers intention to have tyo sign to an extension but you know it’s been a month and there’s still no extension for tyo so until that deal is in I wouldn’t consider him out of the running as well well the fact that their Lakers haven’t named anybody yet and the opening has been around for a few weeks you know the Suns have already you know fired a former Laker coach and re and hired a former Bucks coach that’s already happened makes you think that they’re waiting for JJ reic like that’s what that’s how it feels but obviously anything can happen you know anything can Happ but I mean there’s a a reason we are talking about JJ reck’s name here um it I wouldn’t say as strong as an inevitability um but certainly a leading candidate uh I feel comfortable calling him that catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to 3 Eastern for free
