As the general manager of the Lakers, it can be said that Jerry West is the person most familiar with the team, and he also knows what the team's current problems are.

This is the number one, that is, there is no young player selected by his team as the cornerstone level. Neither Eddie Jones or Eldon Campbell are enough to be the core players of the team. Of course, these two are also counted. It is a role player, but the last cornerstone player of the Lakers has to be the "Magic" Johnson of his own choice. It's a bit unreasonable that he can't even choose one after such a long time.

The second thing is the head coach. It can be said that the Lakers have not found a coach with superb coaching ability in the past few years. In the past few years, the "old man" Bill Portka has been leading the team. As for It is better not to mention his coaching performance.

Of course, the metropolis of Los Angeles will never lack those who want to come, but the problem is that the place is really needed. If it continues to be so muddled, I am afraid that even stars like O'Neal will choose to leave Los Angeles. This is true. To be honest, these superstars are not willing to stay without reinforcements, even if you give more money, some stars in the league will bet on the future based on their "results"!

Therefore, the urgent task is to choose a rookie with the potential to become the cornerstone of the team to stabilize the "military spirit", and Jerry West knows these truths well, so he rushed to give McGrady to his income. in.

What McGrady has is nothing more than being young and talented. If McGrady were to participate in the draft at the age of 23, then Jerry West would definitely not trade it back at such a high price.

As for the problem of coaching, that is now basically the well-known coaches have been divided by other teams in the league, and some are not invited back even for the penalty fee. If this is the case, it is better to maintain the status quo and wait for those well-known coaches. When the coach is dismissed by the team, he can dig it up again!

Of course, under such circumstances, it is not to say that Jerry West does not have a goal suitable for the Lakers coach.

There is or there is, and the coaching ability is not bad!

"Yes, I also have a candidate to coach the Lakers in the new season!" Jerry West replied indifferently.

"Oh, who is it?!" Jane Buss asked in surprise.

This was unexpected by Jenny Buss, and it hadn't been revealed before.

In her opinion, Jerry West is a bit too authoritarian. It can be said that in addition to his own daddy Jerry Buss, the Lakers listen to him Jerry West up and down, and change the head coach. Don’t you know what happened to her? You have to know that the Lakers can be regarded as the private property of their Bass family. What qualifications do you Jerry West have as an outsider to master the Lakers team? I'll take you old man "off get out of class" in the next year!

Jerry West looked at Jenny Buss’s eagerness to know, and now Buss is gradually handing over some of the team’s affairs to his children. Jerry West knew that he would stay. There is not much time in the Lakers. After Jenny Buss and his siblings are familiar with the business, they will definitely "abdicate to the virtuous". Hey, the Chinese saying goes well. It won't be long before these people will "Unload the mill and kill the donkey"!

After sighing, Jerry West decided to tell Jenny Buss, after all, as a special assistant to the team, Jenny Buss should know everything about the team.

"Actually, I am going to find the Han Chinese coach Paul Westphal who just expired to coach the team!"

This is the truth. I can say calmly that the current Lakers head coach Bill Portka is too old, and the coaching philosophy has long been out of keeping up with the times. It is reasonable to change it, and just because of the expiration of the contract, he was not taken. Paul Westphal, who was renewed by the Han, can be connected seamlessly.

We must know that Paul Westphal’s coaching results last season were not bad. The regular season brought the Hans to the 6th position in the Eastern Conference. The first round of the playoffs swept the city’s rival Knicks 4:0. In the second round, when the team was suspended for three and two of them were All-Star players, they were able to win two rounds from the Heat. This coaching ability is already quite good.

This is also Jerry West found the most suitable one from many head coach candidates.

Without him, because the current lineup of the Hans and the Lakers are basically the same. The Hans at the center have "Da Zu" Mourning, the Lakers have "Big Shark" O'Neal, the Hans at power forwards have Garnett and the Lakers have them. There is Vlad Divac who has changed positions. As for shooting guard, the Hans have Kobe, and the Lakers have only traded McGrady this year!

It can be said that the Lakers can copy the Hans' lineup to play, and as long as Paul Westphal can immediately connect seamlessly after coaching the team, plus other player assistance, the Lakers may not be able to go further in the new season.

Paul Westphal? !

Jenny Buss was silent.

If Jenny Buss is most familiar with the team in the league now, the first choice is definitely the New York Hans. Because she wants to persuade Kobe to come to Los Angeles, Jenny Buss also pays attention to this team. It can be said that from the whole Hans team. She knows everything, including the head coach.

And because of this, Jenny Buss dared not speak.

Is Paul Westphal suitable for the Lakers, and if that is the case, why don't the Han people continue to renew Paul Westphal? !

Paul Westphal’s Lions will always open their mouths to ask for a big contract from the Han people. You must know that in addition to the famous coach, other coaches in the league are not qualified to ask for a big contract. Paul Westphal is named. Isn’t it handsome?

But why did the Han give up Paul Westphal? There must be something wrong with it. You must know that Paul Westphal led the team very well last season, so he couldn't get the contract extension. Either there is a problem with Paul Westphal, or there is a problem with the Han people.

So Jenny Buss did not dare to make any comments on this issue. After all, she was just a special assistant and had no real power. Unlike general manager Jerry West, who has real power, she can change the head coach at will.

Jerry West saw that Jenny Buss was silent, so he didn't say anything.

In fact, Jerry West also has questions on this issue, but anyway, Paul Westphal’s coaching ability did not last season and said that recruiting to sign a short-term contract is no problem at all, a big deal. Just change the head coach when there is a problem.
