Lakers interview James Borrego today for head coaching vacancy
New Orleans assistant coach James Borrego is scheduled for in-person meetings Wednesday at the Lakers’ practice facility related to the team’s head coaching vacancy, according to multiple people familiar with the plans but unauthorized to speak publicly.
He worked with the Pelicans last season following a four-year stint with the Hornets, where he went 138-163. In his final season with the Hornets, Borrego led Charlotte to a 43-39 record.
Borrego was an assistant in San Antonio and Orlando and spent two seasons at the start of his career in New Orleans, just prior to Anthony Davis’ arrival.
Davis, according to those briefed, thinks highly of Borrego.
The Lakers have been very tight-lipped about the search process to date, with outside “noise” — a word used inside the team’s building — linking them to former NBA player and current broadcaster JJ Redick.
While general manager Rob Pelinka has met more privately with candidates, Wednesday talks expanded within the organization — a significant step in the team’s search.
Rumors of the Lakers’ staffing plans have run throughout the league during the past two weeks, with some names most commonly mentioned including former head coach Scott Brooks and assistants Sam Cassell and Jared Dudley. Ex-Lakers guard Rajon Rondo has also been under consideration, according to people with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly.
Both Cassell and Dudley, though, are employed by teams still in the playoffs — Boston and Dallas, respectively — and could be in line for promotions within their current organizations.
Former Lakers assistant coach Greg St. Jean, who worked in Dallas for Jason Kidd two seasons ago and with Frank Vogel in Phoenix last season, is another name commonly mentioned in staffing discussions.
Staffing, of course, will be largely contingent on who the team ultimately decides to hire.

Damn. The west was really wide open if we could’ve gotten past Denver. Lead every game at halftime and that weasel Murray had 2 game winners
F’n #5 seed won the West SMH
What’s Wiley cauley stein up to these days?
I guess im in the minority then. But getting past Denver would be a mental hurdle we’d get over and with that confidence I feel like we could’ve beaten Dal and Min
What were we gonna guard Luka/Kyrie with?![]()
Murray and KCP hurt us, Luka/Kyrie woulda faced jail time.
And Dallas has multiple guys to throw at AD.
