[Charania] Redick described a system molded around this roster, focusing on elevating Anthony Davis’ involvement, particularly late in games, and alleviating the constant ballhandling duties on James by utilizing him more off the ball.

He gotta explain to AD why he didnât think he should be all defense
Meant to link the article too. [Here it is](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5578883/2024/06/20/jj-redick-lakers-hire-inside-story/?source=user_shared_articleInsidetheLakers%E2%80%99decisiontohireJJRedickandhowheshapestheirfuture).
Sounds like Trae young to me
Someone tell AD he needs to assert himself as the leader late in games. Demand the ball and dominate
Automatically I love using data over preconceived notions. Itâs like how we had clear evidence of what lineups worked, evidence for how the Lakers won more the higher % of set offense they used, etc. And they you would see Darvin go out there and never run our best lineups and just let the team wing it, completely counter to what the data said to do. Not a huge analytics guy but I love it if JJ is going to pay attention to that stuff.
I really think this means we can ditch the two skill guard model and go with more defense in the lineup.Â
Weâve got nothing to lose anyway. This squad was not going anywhere. Iâd say LFG
Film room about to be Redick doing this type of shit:
Just win the season opener plz
As long as we don’t default to drop coverage which eliminates any advantage AD provides defensively like Pockets made us do, we’ll be fine.
I cant take any more negativity so i’m going to cope and remain optimistic for this It cant be worse than ham and there is a non 0 chance redick becomes a goated coach.
>alleviating the constant ballhandling duties on James by utilizing him more off the ball.
Every first year Lebron coach has been saying this for about a decade
Analytics coach means weâre going to be putting up damn near 50 3s a game. All I can do is pray we get shooters.
GET AD THE BALL IN THE 4TH. Finally.
Keep edging me JJ
lot of positive stuff. also expectations are pretty low so a good start to the season could be really solid to help ingratiate him to the team and fans.
Itâs almost like he understands todayâs game & our roster?!? Imagine that
Spo utilizing Lebron off-ball was amazing – I would watch some tapes on that. I know that personell was different but tbh Heat-Lebron maybe the one of the best versions of Lebron imo
I hate hiring him, but i like his mindset.
While it can be a problem to have someone that can only coach one way no matter the players or the era, the truth is just a few coaches are able to do a good job running a single scheme, it would be a huge surprise if you find someone able to adapt on the fly quickly being competent running a myriad of schemes.
My faith on him is -3, but again, I like his mindset. Nowadays with all the information and advanced analytics a head coach can become obsolete quickly. If for some miracle JJ becomes the staple of the contemporary head coach, Pelinka will look like a genius.
Ah. Iâm in the bargaining stage already. Great!
Kidding aside, he doesnât have experience but he clearly knows the game and understands players.
Weâve seen what guys with âexperienceâ (Walton, ham) have turned out to be so Iâm not as upset or excited about the hire than how o felt when we hired our previous coaches except maybe Vogel because I thought he was an actually proven commodity.
Interested to see how he runs the team.
Ok I like hearing him address AD being involved late in games…excitement is slowly growing
Ok hold on he might be the right guy
All that sounds great but it really comes down to the front office bringing in the right guys. Ham tried to do the same shit but they had no choice but to ride Lebron almost every single one of those of wins.
My hope is that JJâs criticisms of AD will lead to him pushing Davis to be better and building more around himÂ
Im happy that there wonât be more empty âdawgâ talk or âhelluva ball clubâ
I donât think JJ will be a problem it will be on Rob Pelinka to give him the pieces to work with so it would benefit Lebron & AD
One can talk to talk but much harder to walk to walk.
When will these Lakers learn? Smdh
Lmao⌠LeBron off ball. The man is 40 years old. At best he can stand in the corner if heâs not the one using his energy to orchestrate the offense.
Rob: Ok the score is 71-71, the opposite team goes on a 15-0 run. Your hands are in your pockets…what do you do?
JJ: Uh…call a time out before the run even starts?
Rob: …youre fucking hired.
We donât have a secondary decision maker or ball handler thatâs good enough for him to stay off the ball. If we had one Bron probably would play off the ball more
Good luck. Iâll love my team just as much as I have since 1977. Go Lakers!
i am going to OD on copium this summer
keep it coming
Is this the basketball version of how analytics is used in baseball?
While in theory this is nice, who in the world do you trust to do the decision making if LeBron is off-ball? Especially if DLo is leaving. Rivers?
I want to know what plan he has for Reaves on the court. Every single time this team was great Reaves or Russell were great, but they never managed to work well together.
It can’t be a coincidence, when the team is good, Reaves or Russell were good.
