"I will be very surprised if their next Head Coach is anybody but JJ Redick. Everything that I'm hearing is JJ Redick. From what I know he's doing some background, calling some assistant coaching candidates who might be able to join his staff."

Looks like Redick to the Lakers has some real traction to it. Haynes can get some stuff egregiously wrong sometimes, but he definitely has his sources
The Lakers are so lucky LeBron decided to stop their trajectory towards a complete clown show organization
Redickulous
Lebron when he desperately needs someone on the Lakers to hit an open 3
> “And I remember LeBron looking at me, and he said, ‘Don’t you ever get the itch?’ I said, ‘The itch for what?’ He said, ‘The itch to play again?’ I said, ‘No, I don’t have the itch.’ He didn’t ask any more questions, and I didn’t offer any more answers. But I know what it meant, and I always go back and wonder about what he was thinking at that time. He walked out scratching his leg like it was itching.”
Redick will either be Steve Kerr or Steve Nash. Only one way to find out.
With Lue extended, the other options don’t seem too appealing anyway.
I know the podcast is interesting but this feels crazy
if you fire darvin ham you could get anyone as a coach
you could even get JJ redick
I don’t understand the rationale of putting a former player with zero coaching experience as the HC
Assistant? Sure, the face of the team? Circus
What a clown show. Taking bets JJ will be fired in 2 yrs.
I keep hearing people say
“He’s smart bro he knows basketball, listen to him talk about the game”
That’s like the bare minimum. You think every fired coach in the history of the nba didn’t “know” basketball? Lol
After they fired Ham didn’t they say they wanted someone with coaching experience?
With respected NBA vet Kurt Rambis as associate head coach.
podcasting is a viable path to coaching
I want to laugh, but it’s hard to clown the lakers making a former long time nba sharpshooter player with no coaching experience their likely new head coach. It’s worked before
Lakers doing Lakers things
As a lakers fan this feels like a bad idea
Dude podcasted his way into coaching lol.
This will be the death of his coaching career, unfortunately.
I think this gonna be a disaster. Lol.
Lakers might be must see TV next season with JJ and Bronny coming in
When you hear JJ Reddick Lakers coaching news, does anyone else constantly picture the “This is Going To Be Fun” magazine cover of Nash and Dwight? Like we’re similarly on the tip of the hubris iceberg before a Lakers catastrophe?
I can see this either going incredibly bad or incredibly well. No in-between, and I’m concerned it’s going to be the former.
Give me one good reason to hire JJ Redick as a head coach of that team
meme team
Who are some possible assistant coaches? Rondo? I could see Rondo getting some experience with his guy LeBron, then when LeBron retires and joins the Vegas ownership group, they hire Rondo as the head coach
The solution to an inexperienced coach is to hire one with even less experience.
listen to jj’s interview with the uconn head coach dan hurley. you can tell that jj isn’t quite ready yet as he still looks very much like a student than a teacher. why can’t these guys just start off as an assistant like even for a year.
Oh they are 100% about to draft Bronny.
I hate my team
I have seen nothing from JJ to indicate he is qualified for this job. Never even been an assistant coach at a significant level. This is a total meme hire
I actually feel bad for their friendship.
It seems like they genuinely enjoy each others company and welp things are about to get complicated. Never mix friends/business
Going to be a huge mistake lol
They’re going to hire Redick and draft Bronny. What a completely unserious franchise.
JJ brings LeBron on his podcast and glazes him – congratulations, you’re the new coach!!!
LeBron being coached by a guy drafted 3 years after him would be fucking comical.
They are roughly the same age too.
JJ is fucked. The worst possible situation for a new HC.
Please take Doris with you
I heard that Darvin Ham and Frank Vogel are both available.
Lakers since 2020 “I don’t want peace I want problems always”
