  1. Lebron so powerful he basically helped JJ get the head coaching job with no experience and his son drafted in the 2nd round despite not performing like a top performer in college.

  2. JJ Reddick is an excellent hire. Don't get it twisted.. Let the reporters ask what they want, JJ will answer them easily. He's very smart and knowledgeable in the game of basketball and will do better than expected. Maybe even shocking the world ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ™๐ŸฟโœŒ๐Ÿฟ

  3. Lakers starting 5 for the 24/25 season should be LBJ, AD, Wembanyama, Klay Thompson and Donovan Mitchell. Than just draft Bronny and fill out the rest of the roster with the best mix of vets and rookies that you can for each position. If you can find a way to land Caruso, Gary Trent Jr. and Covington while keeping Max Christie, Gabe Vincent Rui and TP, you dominate for the next decade.What team in the league could beat that squad in a 7 game series. Just that starting 5 would probably 3 peat and possibly win 4 or 5 championships consecutively. LBJ just needs to stick around for 3 of them so he can pass Jordan in rings to end the debate of the GOAT.

  4. Had mentally adjusted a while ago to JJ getting hired. Now I choose to be optimistic and wait n see as a fan. Anyways experts in media (including here like Sean) were so wrong about Ham hire, our supposedly great last off-season.

    If this fails and gets Pelinka fired finally, it would still be a successful move. ๐Ÿ˜‚

  5. Would rather hire a new coach than recycle another head coach from another team that was fired .
    Good luck jj and rondo. Just be better than darvin you'll be good.

  6. I think a young coach was the right hire. James will opt in, and hopefully sign a lesser contract. Meanwhile, a young coaching staff can develop the young payers. Remember the Lakers were horrible in the past, maybe ten years, they came back to compete for championship. Look at the stats from years past. The Lakers have had lows before, several times, and always come back. Only thing I will say is the Lakers are no longer an elite landing spot, but as life long Laker fan, just build for the future. No to Young, he is very inconsistant. Like Rondo, Handy, and Cassel as coaches.

  7. The hourglass is obviously for JJ Reddick. Only a matter of time before heโ€™s fired. I think thatโ€™s what Trey Young is talking about, or means anyway. Would be nice to have him, although defense is the biggest concern.

  8. JJ >>>>> Goofy Hampockets. Theres no good coach out there. Might as well a new coach with better brains and feel for the game than bald man last year. Surround JJ with Rondo and coaches that recently got fired/with nba coaching experience for sure these coaches would take less load than to be a hc again.

  9. The Lakers are a JOKE!!!
    They have been a Joke since 2018!!!
    I was a Lakers Fan since 1985 all the way until 2018!!!
    They Destroyed everything West-Magic-Kareem-Kobe Built…SAD!!!

  10. Everyone in the comments saying this is horrible lebron runs the lakers all that bs yโ€™all stay on that side when the lakers win big this year donโ€™t try and come back

  11. So they waiting and dragged out the search just to hire the same guy from the beginning that most ppl didn't want.

  12. JJ either gonna be the coach for the next decade or out in two years after LeBron. No in-between.

  13. With the choice of Reddick, the Lakers just assured Boston 3 more Championships. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Reddick – if he is the real deal – should have at least coached grass roots like a college team – to at least get a feel for the job.

    Good Lakers. You will definitely need it.

    PS – how fun would it be if Butler joins the team? LoL

  14. ya are so positive about this hire……. Sadly, the Lakers are running by LBJ and held hostage by him and the Clutch…….what's next? or is Brownie coming soon as an addition to the roster………

  15. just call timeouts when you supposed to call them and start the right players he will be fine! Just stick to the basics this team has vets

  16. Be lucky to even make the play in, what a terrible hire, maybe worse than Ham, how low can the Lakers go? ๐Ÿ˜ข

  17. Lmao Sean has been incorrect about Ham and JHS! Idk how you canโ€™t love this Reddick hire! Watch when he does great at coaching people are going to be so quiet

  18. I expected that Ryan will go crazy if the Lakers hire JJ. He looks stressed out and emotionally unstable. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  19. Jj being in this organization and being so knowledgeable really puts me at ease for what decisions this team can now make
