As the general manager of the Lakers, it can be said that Jerry West is the person who is most familiar with the team, and he also knows what the team currently has.

First of all, there is no young player chosen by his team as the cornerstone level. Eddie Jones or Elden Campbell are not enough to become the core player of the team. Of course, these two are also role players, but the Lakers' basestone level player still has to be the "Magician" Johnson, who he chose. It's really unreasonable to not even choose one after so long.

Second, it is the head coach. It can be said that the Lakers have not found a head coach with super coaching ability in recent years. In recent years, the "old man" Bill Portkara has been leading the team forward. As for his coaching performance, it is better not to say it.

Of course, the metropolis of Los Angeles will never lack those who want to come, but the problem is that it is really enough to use the place. If you continue to be so confused, even stars like O'Neal will choose to leave Los Angeles. This is the truth. If you don't strengthen it, these superstars are not willing to stay, even if you give more money, the same will be true. Some stars in the league have to bet on the future based on "performance"!

Therefore, the most urgent task is to choose a rookie team with the potential to become the cornerstone to stabilize the "morality of the army". Jerry West knew these truths well, so he took action so urgently to put McGrady into his arms.

What's wrong with McGrady? It's just that she's young and talented. Apart from these things, if McGrady had only participated in the draft at the age of 23, Jerry West would definitely not have traded back at such a great price.

As for the coaching issue, it is that now basically all well-known head coaches have been divided up by other teams in the league. Some of them cannot be invited back even if they spend liquidated damages. Since this is the case, it is better to maintain the status quo. When those well-known head coaches are dismissed by the team, they will be scattered!

Of course, under such circumstances, it does not mean that Jerry West has no goal suitable for the Lakers head coach in his mind.

There are still some, and their coaching skills are quite good!

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

"Oh, who is it?!" Jenny Bass asked in surprise.

This was beyond Jenny Bass' expectations, and it had not been revealed at all before.

In her opinion, Jerry West is a bit too authoritarian. It can be said that except for his daddy Jerry Bass, the Lakers all listen to him Jerry West. Don’t you know that such a big deal about changing the head coach? You must know that the Lakers can be regarded as the private property of their Bass family. What qualifications are you, Jerry West, an outsider, to master the Lakers team? Wait, I will "stop" you, the old man in a few years!

Jerry West looked at Jenny Bass who was eager to know. In addition, Old Bass is gradually handing over some of the team's affairs to his children. Jerry West knew that he didn't have much time to stay in the Lakers. When Jenny Bass and his brothers became familiar with the business, they would definitely "abdicate and give way to the virtuous". Alas, as the saying in China is good, these people will "kill the donkey" in no time!

After sighing, Jerry West decided to tell Jenny Buss that, as the team's assistant, Jenny Buss should know everything about the team.

"Actually, I'm going to find Paul Westfal, the Han head coach who just expired, to coach the team!"

This is the truth. I calmly say that the Lakers' head coach Bill Portka is too old now, and the coaching philosophy has long been unable to keep up with the times. It is reasonable to replace it. Paul Westfar, who was not renewed by the Han people just now because the contract expired, can be seamlessly connected.

You should know that Paul Westfar coached the performance last season. He brought the Han people to the sixth position in the Eastern Conference in the regular season. He swept the Knicks, a city rival with elite soldiers and strong players, 4-0 in the first round of the playoffs. In the second round, the team was suspended from three places and two All-Star players, he could win back two games from the Heat. With this coaching ability, he is already quite good.

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

No, because the current Han people's lineup is basically not much different from that of the Lakers. The center Han people have "colonel" Mooning, the Lakers have "Big Shark" O'Neal, the power forward Han people have Garnett, and the Lakers have Vlad Divac, who has changed positions. As for the point guard, the Han people have Kobe, and the Lakers have only traded McGrady this year!

It can be said that the Lakers can completely copy the Han people's lineup to play, and as long as Paul Westfal coaches the team, it can be seamlessly connected immediately, and with the assistance of other players, the Lakers may not be able to go further in the new season.

Paul Westfal?!

Jenny Bass said silently.

If Jenny Buss is most familiar with the team in the league, her first choice is definitely the New York Han Chinese team. Because she wanted to convince Kobe to come to Los Angeles, Jenny Buss also paid attention to this team. It can be said that she knows the entire Han Chinese team, including the head coach.

And because of this, Jenny Bass dared not make any comments.

Is Paul Westfal suitable for the Lakers? If this is true from the perspective of the open, why don’t the Han people continue to renew Paul Westfal?!

It’s not that Paul Westfal asked the Han people for a big contract, but you should know that except for the famous coaches in the league, other head coaches are not qualified to ask for a big contract. Is Paul Westfal considered a famous coach? It’s definitely not considered a sacrificial one now!

But why did the Han people give up Paul Westfal? There must be something wrong with this. You should know that Paul Westfal led the team very well last season, and he still couldn't get a contract extension. Either Paul Westfal had a problem or the internal problems of the Han people.

So Jenny Buss didn't dare to make a comment on this issue. After all, she was just a special assistant and had no real power. She didn't have real power like general manager Jerry West, and could change the head coach at will.

Jerry West saw that Jenny Bass didn't say anything, so he didn't say anything.

In fact, Jerry West also has questions about this issue, but no matter what, Paul Westfal's coaching ability last season is indeed not a problem. Recruiting it to sign a short-term contract is absolutely fine. At worst, if there is any problem, then you can change the head coach.
