Scouting Terry Stotts: Would He Be a Good Fit as Head Coach of the Lakers?

Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers - Ein Podcast von Locked On Podcast Network, Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

Other names have dominated the conversation (including on this podcast) but quietly, former Portland head coach Terry Stotts has become the odds-on favorite to be hired as the next head coach of the Lakers. And while he wouldn't qualify as a particularly exiting hire, the 64-year old Stotts has a reputation for designing good offenses and led the Blazers to a near-decade of uninterrupted playoff appearances. Then again, those Portland teams hit a wall, and Stotts was fired. So would he be a good replacement for Frank Vogel, working with (presumably) LeBron James and Anthony Davis (and, at least for now, Russell Westbrook)? Mike Richman, host of Locked On Blazers, joins the show to break down all things Stotts. Plus, how many teams around the league would switch circumstances with the Lakers? Like, coach, GM, owner, roster, cap situation, draft capital and so on? Basically everything save city, building and uniforms? Are the Blazers in a better spot than the Lakers? Richman weighs in. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Scouting Terry Stotts. What's he good at? Is the reputation as an offensive innovator deserved? SEGMENT 2: What might Stotts look like as coach of the Lakers and LeBron? What about the shortcomings Blazers teams had on D? SEGMENT 3: Would Mike rather be the Lakers or the Blazers right now?
