Lakers are zeroing in on JJ Redikk to be the next coach of the Lakers (Shams)

[Black Mamba]

Let the Ham hate go.

fukk no that hate is everlasting Hamas is close to like the cp3 trade and I’m still pissed off about it

 

[Voice of Reason]

I hate this move for the Lakers and I hate it for JJ. I mean this dude has a great thing going. Got a successful podcast, you one of the lead analysts on ESPN. And from following JJ for a minute, he and his family love living in Brooklyn. And you're gonna throw all that away for a 2-3 year stint in Los Angeles? That's like the worst job to take. Enormous pressure. And why the hell does the Buss family keep listening to Bron and his camp.

LWO wanted Ham fired because he was the worst coach of all time so..... This is what you get...good luck

I don’t believe LeBron had much insight into this, but I wouldn’t be surprised out of what was a pretty piss poor pool of options the Lakers assembled, it made sense to go with the one LeBron is connected with

This dummy right here would watch Bron pissing on him and think that it’s rain

I gave the Lakers front office too much credit. I didn't think they would act like a mom and pop any NBA org. They are supposed to be THE Lakers. That shyt really left with Jerry.

This is pathetic...

They did consult with Coach K as an advisor.. which I think is funny in itself the fact that they are reaching out to him for their coaching search

I mean who exactly is the one who says “we gotta get Coach Ks opinion on the next guy “.. is it Rob? Jeannie? Linda/Kurt? Magic?

This is classic corporate shyt though. You know who you want to hire so you retain the consultant that is most likely to recommend the person you wanna hire.

No doubt.. it 1000% came across as this , and then to leak it in a story like “we even got Coach K involved and he pointed us in this direction!”

 

[UpAndComing]

I just don’t think JJ would be a good coach. He knows his X’s and O’s but coaching is more than that.

Jeff Hornacek, Derek Fisher, and Steve Nash scarred me for life how terrible they were.

Yeah JJ seems more like the GM type.Same with Nash.I bet he'd probably make for a better GM than coach.Just like James Jones in Phoenix.I could never see him coaching.

Facts. Brad Stevens the GM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Brad Stevens the Coach

Giving a 39 yr old that much power over your team is wild.

Honestly based off of the “unknown” lol.. it’s a stupid way to look at it, but it’s true

You don't say.

 

[THE 101]

Who do you guys think will coach the Lakers in 2026?

Bronny
