According to a story in the Press-Enterprise today, Brian Shaw and Kurt Rambis will be back as assistant coaches for the Lakers starting after the All-Star break. Shaw has been a scout for the Lakers the past couple of years, Rambis was an assistant coach under Jackson who was bumped up to the front office.
No word on what this means for current assistants Melvin Hunt, Chris Bodaken, Larry Smith and Mike Wells, but if I were them I wouldn’t feel to comfortable. Hamblen, on the other hand, wants people he feels comfortable with by his side.
