Brian Shaw Leaning Towards Warriors?
- Updated: May 21, 2016
It’s no secret the Lakers head coach coach Luke Walton has extended an offer to former Laker Brian Shaw to be an assistant on his staff. Many people believed that Shaw would return to Los Angeles where he has won five championships as a player and a coach.
Adrian Wojnarowski of the The Vertical reported that Shaw may be leaning toward the Golden State Warriors as an assistant instead of the Lakers. Here is an excerpt of Wojnarowski’s article. You can read the full article here.
“Another potential candidate – Brian Shaw – had been hopeful of getting the Warriors’ top assistant job, which he found preferable to accepting the offer to join Walton with the Lakers, league sources said. Shaw is a Bay Area native and still lives there.”
“Indiana had pursued Shaw for a return to the Pacers, where he would’ve been the top assistant on Nate McMillan’s staff, league sources said. Shaw has ruled out the Pacers, sources said.”
If Shaw does indeed take the assistant job in Golden State Walton will have to resort to another candidate to help lead this young group.
