Anthony Davis already has a relationship with one of the primary targets in the club's new head coaching search.
Shams Charania of FanDuel TV's "Run It Back" revealed in a Monday episode that Davis "built a rapport" with New Orleans Pelicans lead assistant coach James Borrego during Davis' time in Louisiana. "I'm told LeBron James is not involved in the Lakers head coaching search...James has made it clear that this is the organization's decision, he's had no conversions with the Lakers about JJ Redick."Borrego ditched New Orleans not long after the team, then still the Hornets, drafted Davis with the No. 1 pick out of Kentucky in 2012, when he latched on with the Orlando Magic later that summer.
Borrego initially worked as an assistant coach with the University of San Diego from 2001-03. He worked under Gregg Popovich with some title-winning San Antonio Spurs teams from 2003-10, then latched on with the Pelicans. He was an interim head coach with Orlando after Jacque Vaughn was let go in February 2015, then linked back up with San Antonio for 2015-18. He served as the head coach of the Charlotte Hornets from 2018-22, and then reconnected with the Pelicans.
