The Lakers signed! This is the first player! The Mavericks fragment +1

According to Marc Stein, the Lakers hired Jeremy Hallthorpe as the team's physical fitness coach.

Fans who are familiar with the Mavericks should know this name, right? !

Holthorp was the Mavericks' athletic fitness director and won the NBA's best physical fitness coach in March 2021. The number one person in physical training? !

Holthorp has been playing for the Mavericks since Nowitzky's time.

However, in 2024, Hallthorpe was fired by the Mavericks. Along with Hallthorpe, the sacked were Player Health Management Director Casey Smith and massage therapist Casey Spangler.

These three people are all very close to Doncic. When Doncic first entered the NBA, they played a positive role in helping Doncic adapt to the NBA and Dallas life.

Later, after Doncic was traded by the Mavericks without warning, some rumors also spread that the Mavericks fired these three trainers and masseurs at that time because they were dissatisfied with Doncic's professional attitude, and felt that these three were overly "indulging" Doncic and could not supervise Doncic well, which led to Doncic's playing style being trapped in the "comfort zone" and not being able to make improvements.

After the Mavericks fired these three, Doncic expressed his dissatisfaction, complained privately that "the team drove away everyone I like", and then paid for it out of his own pocket to hire a full-time training team, including Slovenian national team strength coach Ainz Machek, Real Madrid physiotherapist Javier Barrio Calvo and nutritionist Lucia Almendros.

Then the relationship between Doncic and the Mavericks became worse and worse, and finally the big deal that broke out last season.

After Hallthorp and three others were fired, the Mavericks experienced a wave of injuries in the 2024-25 season. Remember

? ! The season that just ended, the Mavericks' injury was so high.

This season, the Mavericks used a total of 47 starting lineups. Because there were too many injuries, the number of players in the team missed 363 games, almost twice the number of last season.

shows the importance of these people!

Now the Lakers have brought Holthorpe to Los Angeles again. Do you think there is no reason for Doncic in the middle?

The Lakers' tradition!

People around the boss of the team and the people they like can gradually find their place in the team

" said their current general manager, Perinka, also worked as Kobe's agent before becoming the general manager of the team.

So, there is no suspense about the Lakers' various operations this year? ! Doncic is the boss of the Lakers next season, right? !

Smart, who the Lakers signed before, was also what Doncic wanted.

Your taste!

In fact, not long after the season ended, the Lakers issued a recruitment announcement for the recruitment of physical fitness coaches, but the requirements may be too high, so they have never found a suitable one.

Recruitment content:

1. Annual salary of US$200,000 to US$250,000

2. Job content: Tailor the physical training plan for each player to improve his or her performance on the field and maintain the best physical condition. This position requires implementation, supervision and timely adjustment of player training plans throughout the year. In addition, players need to be motivated to strictly complete strength training requirements. You need to have teamwork skills, adapt to irregular working hours, and be able to travel away with the team for a long time.

This high requirement, generally annual salary can only be solved by "internal recommendation", but "internal recommendation" is probably not something that can be solved by an annual salary of 200,000 to 250,000 yuan, right?
