Lakers interested in Mike Budenholzer as head coach?
Jovan Buha on Lakers coaching search: I’ve already started to hear over a half dozen names, the most common names that I’ve heard are Mike Budenholzer who is considered the top coach on the market right now, though that could change depending on what happens with Ty Lue and the Clippers. Speaking of Ty Lue and the Clippers, it is no secret that LeBron James loves Ty Lue, he is his favorite coach of all time, he continues to speak about Ty Lue with reverence.

More on this storyline
Jovan Buha: There’s also LeBron James’ podcast partner JJ Redick, who has become the hot coaching name around the league right now. He’s gotten a lot of buzz with the Charlotte Hornets job. He’s been one of the frontrunners for that, he’s already interviewed for that a couple of times and JJ to me I see some parallels with Steve Kerr from a temperament perspective, they are not necessarily that similar. I think JJ runs a little hotter than Steve does. Steve is a bit more calm and laidback although I think JJ can show that side of him during his podcast, but in terms of being a media presence who is beloved and who has shown how smart they are by getting in front of a microphone and giving their takes that’s where I see some of the parallels where like Steve Kerr had a very successful broadcasting career before landing the Warriors job and was very good at communicating. -via YouTube / May 3, 2024
Rich Paul on how long LeBron James has left in his playing career: I think body-wise, five years. Understanding how to play the game mind-wise? Forever. Mind-wise as it pertains to frustration, to endure just like missing time with his family, with his wife… They’ve been unbelievable, they’ve been an unbelievable support system. At some point it’s gotta be about them. I think, from that perspective, maybe two to three years, from that perspective. -via YouTube / May 3, 2024
Kyrie Irving had just routed the LA Clippers by 30 points. His Dallas Mavericks were one win away from the Western Conference semifinals. But the question made him momentarily ponder an alternate reality. Did he seriously consider reuniting with LeBron James in this very building last season? “Everything was considered,” Irving told FOX Sports after Game 5 on Wednesday in Los Angeles, flashing a smile. James is currently watching the playoffs from his couch after his Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated by the Denver Nuggets in their first-round playoff series Monday. Surely, he could have used Irving’s help. “He’s a great friend of mine, a great brother of mine,” Irving told FOX Sports. “We obviously played together [in Cleveland]. Everybody knows our history. But there were so many different factors in between. When it comes to business decisions, you have to ask the GMs, the presidents why certain things didn’t work out.” -via FoxSports.com / May 3, 2024
