Two Duke Basketball legends have been involved with the Lakers' head coaching search, with one quickly becoming the top candidate.
As one of the largest and highest-earning professional sports franchises in the world, the Los Angeles Lakers usually spend plenty of time in the news. With a superstar like LeBron James on the roster, that time in the spotlight only multiplies. But now, the Lakers are in the spotlight once again as they search for a new head coach, and some Duke basketball legends are being linked to the search.
Redick was named as one of the initial top candidates alongside Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue, but a link between the former Blue Devil sharpshooter and the Lakers had quieted down since the initial report. Now, things seem to be heating up again. The link between Redick and the Lakers would make sense, with the 39-year-old recently beginning to co-host a podcast with Lebron James. James is set to test free agency this summer, but the expectation is that he very well could return for another go in Los Angeles.
