“I’m told LeBron James is not involved in the Lakers head coaching search…James has made it clear that this is the organization’s decision, he’s had no conversions with the Lakers about JJ Redick.” @ShamsCharania on the #Lakers coaching search

He’s involved but not really involved. I’ll explain it to you later
Same dumbass “JJ is the front runner”
If true, this is a big W for the anti-JJ brigade
Both sides making sure they’re not “held responsible” if JJ flops lol
Idk. I just have feeling it’s all hot air. I see us going for Adelman or Nori. Maybe even Cassell.
well there you go…you don’t have to hire Lebron’s podcast buddy…if he’s not involved in these decisions Rob you have a clear path to make the right choice…no Kkutch pressure at all ..
If he’s got 1 year left, 2 max I doubt he’s been involved as much as we think

Well, let’s see, LeBron is projected to retire in 2 years. Of course LeBron input is crucial but this is all on AD. He will be our star moving forward. Lakers want a long term coach and satisfying your star should solidifily that.
idk I just feel like the JJ hype is a smokescreen and they’re going to end up hiring Nori or Adelman
LeBron doesn’t have to talk to the Lakers. Rich Paul is talking to them.
bron put the ball in their court 💁🏾♀️ stop hiding behind his name & make your front office decisions in confidence. FO hired frank & scam and this time will be no different
& maybe lowkey conspiracy hat but I think bron waited this long to even say anything (via his agent) to give jj, a friend, time to make his own decision or figure out what’s going on. so they must’ve had a discussion already
Pipe dream
Hc: Adelman
Assistants: Hollins, Nori, Rondo, JJ
Sure sure sure
Cool so hire Adelman or Nori instead.
I’m pretty sure JJ won’t be hired and this is just good press for him that he’s even being mentioned in the conversation to be a coach.

There is no benefit to LBJ saying he’s involved. It’s like there are no benefits to GMs admitting a player is on the block. These insider info are non-story as it does not prove of disprove anything.
He’s involved. However he doesn’t want to be the final decision maker. Wants the front office to own the move.
“It’s your team. I mean, I definitely have a guy in mind, but I don’t wanna influence you. It’s your responsibility, I mean uh, decision. I trust you. But don’t f*ck it up.”
(not) LeGM
Sure buddy
LeBron James isn’t involved, but a guy named JeBron Lames is.
Windhorst said this last week, where have y’all been
He’s so checked out anyway. Can’t wait until the Bron era is over. Go ahead and downvote.
wink wink
I think he doesn’t want to get blamed for “picking” a coach that ultimately isn’t given a decent roster and gets scapegoated by Pelinka again
LeGM is always involved
He said y’all not about to put this JJ Redick hire on me lmaooooo
That’s Rich….Paul.
Sure, Jan.
This should all be on AD. He’s still on contact and is the future of this team, with or without LeBron.
Yea just like he had no decision in the Shabazz Napier pick. Just because he doesn’t have a say doesn’t mean they’re not influenced by him.
He definitely doesn’t want his stamp on any coaching decision after they threw Vogel under the bus, and hired an inept assistant coach that probably cost the team a chip.
I’m sure he’s telling the truth. The dude’s career is almost over and he has nothing left to prove in the league.
