The Los Angeles Lakers likely won’t make a final decision on a new head
coach anytime soon. The storied franchise will continue to weigh options with
the NBA draft lottery approaching on May 20 and the 2014 NBA draft to follow
soon on June 26.
Even though the team is in no hurry to hire a new head coach, one name has
surfaced as a possibility that could potentially be a game-changer for the
struggling franchise. The Lakers still need to be granted permission to talk
to Tom Thibodeau, but reports have surfaced that GM Mitch Kupchak and company
are expected to pursue the Chicago Bulls head coach.

Interestingly enough, free-agent-to-be Carmelo Anthony and Thibodeau have
something in common sharing the Creative Arts Agency. David Haugh of The
Chicago Tribune speculates that the agency would prefer to have both clients
in Los Angeles:
The longer Thibodeau stays silent, the more people will suspect he has
interest in the Lakers or was aware of the rumor being floated — which might
be unfair but part of the perception-is-reality world in which we live. It
only took two phone calls on this story before a league source wondered
whether Creative Arts Agency — which represents Thibodeau and free-agent
Carmelo Anthony — would prefer their clients collaborate in Los Angeles
instead of Chicago.
With Anthony expected to opt out of his deal with the New York Knicks this
summer, Chicago has been considered a likely destination for the superstar.
The Knicks will have their shot to re-sign Anthony with Phil Jackson giving
him his best sales pitch, but the Lakers may be able to draw Anthony to Los
Angeles with Thibodeau in the fold.
At this point in time, there’s no telling what will happen during the
off-season for the Lakers. A new head coach needs to be hired while also
trying to fill out the roster with only three players under contract for next
season with Kobe Bryant, Robert Sacre and Steve Nash set to return.
The Lakers bringing in Anthony and Thibodeau is far-fetched. It may be
nothing more than a pipe dream, but anything is possible moving forward with
Mike D’Antoni no longer an obstacle.
