Lakers News: Assistant Coach on West Contender Being Considered as Next LA HC.

Sean Sweeney, the assistant coach of the Dallas Mavericks, is reportedly being considered by the Los Angeles Lakers for their head coaching position. Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times introduced Sweeney to the Lakers as a possible hire for their head coaching position. “As of midweek, the team is still in the early stages, with both internal team sources and external coaching sources describing the Lakers as ‘taking their time,’” Woike stated.

Following patterns where the Lakers have reversed direction after making a selection, there is a strong sense that the Lakers are placing a priority on expertise in this search, according to sources spoken with over the past several days. Furthermore, Woike stated, “Kenny Atkinson, who was a member of Steve Kerr’s Golden State staff and performed well in the previous Lakers coaching search, will be considered because Ham was a first-time coach.” Even though Sweeney is the most recent acquisition, Woike hinted that the Lakers might add more players to their pool of prospective possibilities.

Even though Sweeney is the most recent acquisition, Woike hinted that the Lakers might add more players to their pool of prospective possibilities. “But while there’s a desire to find someone with experience, the Lakers, sources say, aren’t solely focused on that and seem to be open to speaking with candidates from multiple coaching pedigrees,” he stated. Yes, that entails having coaches with a track record in the front row on the sidelines. However, it also entails taking into account some of the most well-known assistant coaches, including those who are now employed in the postseason, such Dallas’ Sean Sweeney, Denver’s David Adelman, Minnesota’s Micah Noria, and Boston’s Charles Lee.
