JJ Redick agrees to become Los Angeles Lakers head coach

[Ef-man]

Perfect sense, select someone with no coaching experience to lead team; don't change LA :lol

Lebron must be staying.

Lebron must be staying.

With Reddick only getting $8M per year, with who knows how much guaranteed, he is just a cheap placeholder.

They'll eat him alive.

[baseline bum]

Should have stuck with his podcast, he'd have gotten bigger than Bill Simmons. Now has to give that up for a year before LeBron blames him instead of himself for trading all their talent to get Westbrook and gets him fired.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

I think it's a win-win for both. Lakers get a face and a name friendly to LeBron. JJ gets a big time coaching job he wouldn't have sniffed at elsewise. Who knows he may be great. But I'm praying for gasoline on the dump fire personally

[Ef-man]

What will be interesting are the assistant coaches JJ will select.

I hear Derrick Fisher is available if they can pry him from Crespi Carmelite HS.

...just hopes it turns the exact same dividends as to when we pried him outta Utah.

tee, hee.

^that was a dirty deal

Without a doubt.

We don't do that we're at 16 tonight and Kobe ain't quite as at rest.

It came out of New York with Stern granting it. Who knows what Utah got for doing it in silence. MSM wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

:lol JJ getting a HC job before Sam Cassell

[Tyronn Lue]

I can't believe the Lakers didn't approach Doris Burke about the job since she's so basketball savvy.

...and Sam did me a solid here and ran Cotton Fitzsimmons right into the shitter...once and for all.

She's Jake with me and would be about as effective as Redick will be.

Can't get more savvy that Reggie Miller and Cheryl Miller; that snub hurts more.

Especially since they're Black, but the Lakers got James so nobody in their right mind is going to go after the Lakers on that issue, yet.

Lebron just paid him 8M to draft his burden son then go back to podcasting.

They’ll be lucky to make the play-in

[Bill_Brasky]

I like this guy. Lakers may have stumblefucked into an actual coach.

[Brazil]

:lol Lakers

honestly I first thought he would be another LeGM scapegoat but Reddick is very close to a lot of current players and is a student of the game, so he wontbe out of touch with today’s young players

He also has a great relationship with his superstar, and that’s very important

But the Lakers are rin by a bunch of clowns, so who knows :lol

He's going to do what he's told. He'll toady to the front end (including James) grateful just to be an NBA head coach for as long as it lasts.

Buss ain't walkin' thru that door. Jackson ain't walkin' thru that door. Stern, yes, Stern ain't walkin' thru that door. Nobody is walkin' thru that door. We're bereft. We're bankrupt on every level cept $. We are and have been unmoored/set adrift for many years...and honestly? Since Cuban invaded our set-up and put a stopper in the bottle on it forever more. We squeezed out that double with Kobe and the COVID give-a-way with James, but we're fucked.

Who would be dumb enough to take on the job more difficult than herding and juggling cats?

Redick has accomplished more & been more influential in his career than any player he's currently coaching.

Changed the position and broke racial barriers during ACC heyday.

JJ changed the game. Lebron lost a bunch of finals on numerous teams

Which player never missed the Postseason


Redick has been a winner everywhere he's played including College. Which Le odd name never accomplished.
