For several weeks now, the Lakers of LeBron James and Anthony Davis have been looking for a new coach. At the same time, Monty Williams has just been fired. Is an opportunity now presenting itself in front of the Purple & Gold? Draymond Green has decided.
Unable to display a constant level, the Lakers’ season LeBron James et Anthony Davis ended in a sad way with an elimination in the first round of the playoffs. In a franchise as prestigious as that of Los Angeles, failure is difficult to accept for the managers. Thus, Darvin Ham, long criticized for his choices in the game, was dismissed from his coaching duties at the beginning of May.
If the Californians have time to find a replacement, rumors of different possibilities continue to circulate. JJ Redick is a name that has been mentioned many times since almost the beginning of the file, and fans also saw Dan Hurley turn down a contract at the last moment. In the other conference, Monty Williams also just lost his job, and Draymond Green therefore looked into his case.
Anthony Davis and Monty Williams reunited with the Lakers according to Draymond Green?
After occupying the Detroit bench for only one season, Monty Williams has already been fired by his management. The latter thus finds himself looking for a new job. A boon for the Lakers? According to the Warriors superstar and host of The Draymond Green Show, Anthony Davis could even be a key factor in this eventuality:

Monty Williams is now on the free agent market. I don’t know exactly what’s going on with the Lakers, but I know that something will happen very quickly because there will soon be the Draft and the opening of free agency. They’ve been planning something for a long time and I know Anthony Davis loved Monty Williams when he was in New Orleans.
We then wonder if LA should consider recruiting Monty Williams. I would say that they obviously need to think about it, 100%.
From June 26, Draft day, new recruits will potentially be added to the roster of the 2020 champions. The free agent market will also open its doors at the end of the month, and it is worth remembering that LeBron will probably be free of everything contract, since he has not yet activated his additional year option in LA.
But in the end, it would rather be Anthony Davis who would tip the scales in the choice of a coach for Rob Pelinka and his collaborators. Indeed, Monty Williams was an assistant coach for Unibrow when he was in New Orleans. Apparently the two liked each other. But despite the tactician’s experience, it remains to be seen whether the Lakers would be ready to bet on him after this very difficult season with the Pistons.
In search of a successor as coach, the Lakers could find what they are looking for with Monty Williams, who is now a free agent. Because if we trust the words of Draymond Green, this could be a viable solution given the good relationship between Anthony Davis and his ex-coach.
