Making sense of the Lakers potentially going after former NBA player and current ESPN broadcaster JJ Redick as the team’s next head coach.
The Los Angeles Lakers have made a significant move by parting ways with former head coach Darvin Ham. After two years of mixed results, the Lakers ' front office has decided to steer the team in a new direction.
Although Redick has zero coaching experience, there is no questioning his basketball IQ. Whether you're hearing him on the broadcast or listening to him on his podcasts,"The Old Man and The Three," or his other podcast with Lakers superstar LeBron James,"Mind The Game." "It's presumptive to say James wants Redick, but the two share a common view of the game and a natural trust. Unless the Los Angeles Clippers scapegoat Tyronn Lue for yet another Kawhi Leonard-less postseason, Redick seems the most logical choice."
Even before the 2023-2024 season, Redick was a hot commodity to join a coaching staff as an assistant. Redick turned down multiple tenures, most notably the Boston Celtics. The 39-year-old told "I could be helping Tatum win a championship. Instead, I'm trying to figure out how a nine-year-old can beat a 2-3 zone,"
