Now that It's the off season well for the Lakers. I'm curious to know about something.

Are there any former NBA players who actually want to coach, that have actually stated they want to coach In the future??

There's been Interest In the past with; Rajon Rondo, Metta world peace and I think It was Rasheed Wallace OR someone?? Ok Interest was mostly fans I believe - do these former players actually have Interest In coaching OR Is this just us fans saying they would be great etc?

Assistent coach Phill Handy, might be the top of the hill atm?

...

One thing for sure Is next coach just better be able to Insert the right lineups according to each game that's being played, call the right timeouts and use the challenges when needed etc.

Also stop with this 3-4 guard lineups and start going big

Who do you guys recon will be top of the list come coach hiring??

I don't konw too much about all the coaches/assistent coaches etc, but know this gonna be a big topic, especially after Ham leaves/fired which Is almost %100 percent sure atm.

Becky Hammon, Jerry Stackhouse.

Phil Handy. Someone who AD and LBJ respect and listen to.

First option: Ty Lue - If he becomes available, you bring him on immediately.

If he's not available, you just combine great basketball minds and elevate Handy to Head Coach. For assistants: Rondo (young), Clifford (veteran) and empower AD and LeBron to take on a huge coaching/playing type of role.
