NBA coach critiques Lakers' decision to let Jaxson Hayes go

A Western Conference coach has criticized the Los Angeles Lakers for their decision to let backup center Jaxson Hayes leave during this summer's free agency. The team has made significant roster changes, but questions remain about the adequacy of their center rotation, particularly with the signing of Collin Sexton instead of retaining Hayes. Hayes, who averaged 6.2 points and 3.9 rebounds over his three seasons with the Lakers, has signed a two-year deal with the Utah Jazz. The Lakers acquired Walker Kessler and various players to reshape their roster, raising concerns about the depth at the center position if Kessler sustains an injury.
