Evan Sidery: JJ Redick and James Borrego are viewed as the likely finalists to become the Lakers’ head coach, per @ShamsCharania on @PatMcAfeeShow. Both candidates have had multiple interviews with the organization. pic.twitter.com/UbJrjNSinW -via Twitter @esidery / May 30, 2024
The Cavaliers are planning to secure permission to speak to more sitting assistant coaches, but Atkinson and Borrego are both top assistant coaches with head-coaching backgrounds that appeal to the Cavaliers in their process to replace J.B. Bickerstaff, sources told ESPN. -via ESPN / May 29, 2024
Borrego is a serious candidate in the Lakers’ search, which included a second interview with the team’s front office in Los Angeles on Wednesday, sources told ESPN. -via ESPN / May 29, 2024
Cleveland, however, has not been truly keen on entertaining rival teams’ offers for Allen, sources said, as the shot-blocker and rim-runner developed a strong on-court connection with Donovan Mitchell during a stretch of winning 17 of 18 games this winter — largely without Darius Garland and Evan Mobley. The Cavs don’t appear very motivated to listen to trade inquiries for any member of their core four, sources said, even with the possibility that Garland’s representation at Klutch Sports could move to request a trade if Mitchell extends long term. -via Yahoo!
