There are a lot of Lakers rumors swirling around. I even read one about Jokic potentially being traded to the team, which seems far-fetched. Now they're reportedly considering hiring this recently fired coach. While I think he could be a good assistant, I believe Michael Malone deserves another head coaching opportunity. Most likely, he'll end up with a struggling team that will have a coaching vacancy soon.
Yeah, doesn't make sense that Malone will go to the Lakers, or maybe if it is true then it's going to hurt the Nuggets as in the las couple of playoffs, this two has been talking trash against each other.
But it maybe that Malone should go to a team maybe like the the Suns although Mike Budenholzer is on a 5 year deal with them. However, coaches tenure are not safe and they can be fired anyone just like what happened to Jenkins and Malone.
It actually make since especially that Malone has championship experience and provably that he can help Reddick to do good decision to help Lakers to win. Lakers will provably have a system upgrade if they can successfully get him on their team.
I don't think Suns is ready to get rid with Budenholzer since I think they are thinking about rebuilding their team if Durant leave next season. But I really think that Spurs should get Malone since for sure that he could assist well this young team and also Knicks seems to be interested to get him so I guess he can also bring good great changes for that team. For sure Nuggets management would regret their decision to fire their champion coach.
