He could be a great coach, I like his IQ a lot but we are the Lakers man. We dont need rookie coaches and JJ dont need that pressure

We all know its just a ploy. JJ will be so frustrated with the team with the lack of 3 pointers, hed fire himself to suit up for the boys and help

No thanks.

Having a good BBIQ as a roleplayer doesn’t mean you deserve a shot at HC—most of the best current coaches never played professional basketball:
Malone
Popovich
Spoelstra
Nurse
Synder

JJ or Rondo as assistants would be fantastic.
Head coaches, probably not without any other coaching experience at any level.

Hed be perfect as an assistant but the head coach should be a veteran

Kenny Atkinson is the guy imo hes a good xs and os guy and got rave reviews in BK he brought in a hard working team first culture. That Nets team looked pretty together those 2 yrs before KD and Kyrie came.
He woulda been nice long term if KD and Kyrie didn’t push him outta BK.

I’d love if he’s an assistant

From one rookie coach to another even rookier? Nah
Mazois
Need a very experienced coach.

This is the silliest take. JJ makes comfortable money with what he’s currently doing. Why would he jeopardize all that to take a job that he’s never done and he may not be good at? If his team does not do well, all the blame would be on him as a rookie coach.

Let’s be real if Lebron wants JJ to be the coach- he’ll be the coach. He has all the leverage in the offseason.

If they think he’s the best man for the job – hire him.
Hire whoever you think is the best person for the job, period.

Coaching LeBron is a death sentence, JJ would be much better to take the Charlotte job with no expectations than LeBron the coach killer.

Yes please. I am a big Redick fan. 100%. This is a high risk, High reward. But at least he isn’t a dumbass. Let’s try it out. It’s worth the dice roll.

Coach K has gotta be bored of retirement by now…proved he could coach Team USA…

JJ is smart but like Nash, rondo, Luke they just don’t have that commanding presence. If it’s just about Xs and Os then bron can be coach. We don’t need a coach that doesn’t have enough life experience to control the egos 14 millionaire athletes.

He would be amazing next Steve Kerr

Taking a rookie coach and installing him as head coach of the Lakers would be like taking a 25-year-old MBA student and making him CEO of Microsoft. This is NOT the environment to smooth out a STEEP learning curve and gain experience on the job.

Reddick is a trap coach pick, i know lebron is an amazing basketball mind but the coach should have some experience in the role. If not we will be stuck in a rookie coach problem/drama
