From rumours of superstar moves to possible transactions involving players like Austin Reaves, the Los Angeles Lakers are deeply involved in trade talks in the run-up to the 2024 NBA Trade Deadline.

On the other hand, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Lakers are not likely to choose Bronny James, who is LeBron James’ son.

Yeah, we’re attempting to get him picked by the Lakers. Is there a way for a young guy to move to a team that focuses more on developing players?

When it comes to the Lakers, there is no room for development; this is a win-now program. Therefore, what is Bronny James’s best course of action? His desires and their collective goals as a company.The question of whether he can play with him is at the heart of everything, but I’m not sure if that’s the whole story.

 

 

 

 

It seems to me that there is more at stake than that. Perhaps it’s a consideration, but I also wonder where Bronny James would be best served if he sits out this season.

Milwaukee Bucks are hiring Doc Rivers as new Head Coach, per reports

Following Adrian Griffin’s departure, the Milwaukee Bucks quickly found a worthy successor in Doc Rivers, who they formally signed as head coach. After consulting with Rivers—an NBA commentator for ESPN and a former coach of the Philadelphia 76ers—who guided the club to three straight Eastern Conference semifinal appearances before leaving last spring, this choice was reached.

When the Bucks decided to fire Griffin after just 43 games as head coach, Rivers quickly rose to the top of the heap as a possible replacement. The franchise wаnted an upgrade, thinking Rivers could give the Bucks a greater opportunity to contend for a championship, even though Griffin had a respectable 30-13 (.698) record and the team was in second place in the Eastern Conference.

Following Griffin’s resignation, Joe Prunty continued his third stint as interim coach, having previously succeeded Jason Kidd in 2018.After falling from fourth to twenty-second place from the previous season, the Bucks fired Griffin due to what they saw as a decrease in defensive efficiency. The loss of All-Star guard Jrue Holiday may have contributed to this downturn. General manager Jon Horst of the Milwaukee Bucks lost faith in Griffin’s capacity to fulfill the team’s immediate championship ambitions, even if Griffin’s promise as head coach was acknowledged.

The Bucks are putting their faith in Doc Rivers’ 25 years of head coaching expertise, which includes a 2008 title with the Boston Celtics. Being an All-American at Marquette University gives Rivers, who is 62 years old, additional ties to Milwaukee. They are hoping that the Bucks will be able to use Rivers’ coaching knowledge to help them win a championship this season.
