Description

On Wednesday's episode with Dan Woike of the LA Times, we covered the Russell Westbrook Experience. What it was like to cover him, and more importantly, what it was like for the players and coaches who had to work with him. From there, we turned to the question of accountability and transparency, and whether the Lakers are displaying either quality (and why it matters that, spoiler alert, they're not). Finally, as focus turns to the coaching search, it's worth asking why, specifically, Frank Vogel was canned.In today's episode - Part II with Dan! - we get deeper into the coaching question. What are the Lakers looking for in their next head coach? Where will they look? As things go from rumor to more concrete information about what options the Lakers are exploring, will a through line emerge between the candidates? Will it be a more scattershot approach? Will they provide an element of freedom, or will the front office dictate assistant coaches and continue sending Kurt Rambis to sit in on coaching meetings? Do the Lakers still worry too much about appearances? Are they a kind of old money organization that thumbs its noses at things "regular" teams have to do to be good?Answering big questions about this summer means grappling too with just how good the Lakers think they can be. Do the Lakers know? Are they ready to make hard choices with a longer time horizon in mind?GUEST: Dan Woike, LA TimesHOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: What are the Lakers looking for in their next coach?
