Lakers target James Borrego emerging as potential favorite to become Cavaliers head coach
NY Post
Three weeks after firing head coach J.B. Bickerstaff, the Cleveland Cavaliers appear to have a top target for his replacement.
James Borrego, associate head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans who is a target of the Lakers after missing out on Dan Hurley, is emerging as a favorite in the Cavs’ coaching search.
“James Borrego … he’s getting momentum in Cleveland,” ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported during “Get Up” on Monday. “He’s expected to interview there early this week as a potential leading candidate developing with the Cavs.”
Bickerstaff coached the Cavs for four-plus seasons, ending his career with a 48-34 season and a second-round playoff loss to the Boston Celtics.
He joined the organization in 2019 and made the playoffs twice during his time with the team.
Borrego stands out due to his NBA head coaching experience, having served as interim head coach of the Orlando Magic in 2015 and full-time head coach of the Charlotte Hornets from 2018-22.
