Anthony Davis' opinion will matter in head coach search

However, it won’t be just James whom L.A. listens to as they’ll also illicit input from Anthony Davis as well, via Dave McMenamin of ESPN: “And of course LeBron James’ opinion will be taken into consideration, but not just LeBron James. Anthony Davis as well I’m told,” McMenamin said. “And the team kind of looks as Anthony Davis finally taking the torch from LeBron in the last season-and-a-half. While LeBron can still have the time to process the end of this season as he decides his future with the team, they have another voice and another leader in Anthony Davis whose opinion they will take under consideration.”

TNT playing the nWo Wolfpac theme as they go to commercial, with Minnesota up 26 over Denver at the half. Always will love my guys and gals there. (H/t to game AD Erron Banks. Outstanding.)

The Timberwolves remind me so much of the 2020 Lakers.
Gobert/KAT/Naz is AD/Dwight/JaVale. They’re just too big.
Defensively, Ant/McDaniels/NAW is Caruso/Green/KCP. Just so deep.
Both offenses rely on a wing (Bron/Ant), a big (KAT/AD) and an old floor general (Conley/Rondo). – 11:04 PM

I know what a lot of you are thinking, but this is a well earned extension for Jason Kidd. His players play for him. Most importantly he has the respect of his superstars which is paramount to any NBA success. See Darvin Ham, who is a good coach but lost the trust of LeBron & AD – 9:51 AM

Anthony Davis, Paul George and Russell Westbrook were traded within a one-month span. The Pelicans and Thunder rebooted at the same time. So why has OKC zoomed ahead? nola.com/sports/pelican… – 9:00 AM

More on this storyline

Dave McMenamin: Joined SVP to discuss the direction the Lakers coaching search appears to be heading in, in terms of the initial concept, and the factor LeBron and AD have in the search. -via Twitter @mcten / May 7, 2024

Ham excelled at that in his first season with the Lakers, deftly navigating the franchise through the awkwardness of the Russell Westbrook era while forging a strong bond with the team’s superstars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and leading the team to an unexpected run to the West finals. But his tenure unraveled quickly in his second season. James bristled at the idea of restricting his minutes at the start of the season, sources said — an idea that was noticeably scrapped after just a few games. -via ESPN / May 4, 2024

“I think there’s a lot of uncertainty coming out of that organization,” Green said on The Draymond Green Show. What’s going to happen with Darvin Ham? Me personally, I think it’ll wrong to fire him for multiple reasons. “However, he’ll catch a lot of flack for the season that they had. But their roster didn’t get better than last year and they were a play-in team. Yeah, they made it to the Conference Finals with LeBron James and Anthony Davis playing the way that they were playing, but they didn’t get better. “They lost Dennis Schroder. I don’t think they replaced him well. Gabe Vincent didn’t bring anything to the season. Obviously he was hurt. But even once he got in, he didn’t shoot the ball well. Schroder was huge for them and they lost him… -via TalkBasket / May 2, 2024
