Bad D'Angelo Russell News For Lakers, JJ Redick Now Even Closer To Being Named LA's Head Coach?! 

Facts one of them has to go they are horrendous defensively and we won’t win another title with those two in the backcourt

Get rid of both of them... Cash in on Reeves

💯....

@@jurmain2true Reaves is 25 we gotta take a gamble and trade him odds are he’ll turn into a Jordan Clarkson but with another team not with us

The new big. Andre Drummond. 😅

💯💯💯

I'll take Donovan

I agree I'm not his biggest fan but when he catches fire he's on it

Where were these 3s in the playoffs he shot 31% after shooting 42% all year

No experience. Pretend he’s not white. 😉

You're fuccin crazy then or a LeBron fan. Smh

They have so many guards already, it's such a fake destination

Orlando has 17 guards, I don’t see how this makes sense

orlando is not signing fultz back, cole anthony is gonna be free agent…. ther need is shooting n playamaking… banchero said it in his exit interview that they need a player that will score and help facilitate the offense… they have 60 mil in cap space that they need to spend on someone… dlo fits that team perfectly

​@ka21REASONZ D'Lo doesn't play defense wears out his welcome everywhere, way too inconsistent and cares to much about his style then his style of play ..think about this The Lakers moved him to sign LBJ, wThe Nets moved him to sign KD, The warriors traded him for Wiggins , The Wolves traded him for Conley all improved without him..

​@@hilamadventures4060 acting like half of the league cares about defense

I think Rondo got some legal issues rn

​@@fours5844He can do both as an assistant coach.

Like Dwight Howard, Rondo has some pending legal problems they need to deal with. Rondo even more so with his pending Supreme court decision issue. No thanks, no more drama. We got enough.

nah, he got legal shyt goin on an cant be a coach in the association w/ all that drama.

JJ would probably hire guys like Rondo

Can you do a better job?

Handy is more off a developmental coach 😅😅plus he already said he doesn't have any plan to be a nba coach

I’d rather hire JJ as an assistant.

Handy dosent want to be a head coach and Rondo had legal issues

They fired Handy who should of been the Head Coach instead Darvin Ham who had no clue of what he’s doing. Reddick? Spare me!

Front office and ownership is the weakest link for the Lakers

@@manmo0808 Where’s the queen of mean Anne Robinson when you need her since she hosted the game show Weakest Link

@@PatrickDoran2319 😂

Choke sports run that organisation

1+ > 0

I Finals appearance > 0

Pat Riley is a top 5 coach of all time. I'm pretty sure JJ won't be anywhere near close as a coach, and it might not be even completely his fault. Today's player culture has far less accountability for superstars. It's always change the coach or the supporting players. Magic and Kareem were a lot more coachable than today's players. When Lebron complained in Miami, Riley had Spoelstra's back. Lebron left. Magic and Kareem were built differently. They didn't make cryptic social media posts about how they should be valued or respected more by their teams. It's just different now.

It might be time to get a new GM. This is getting silly

​@@PsyFiChannel🎯

What serious team is going to offer him big money over multiple years lol

Thing is, he's been here before. A team makes love eyes at him, he goes there, gets traded a year or so after. From BK to GSW to Minn to LAL... he's better off declining but re-signing with LAL then going elsewhere. It prevents LA from sign-and-trading him this way. I think that is his play but I also think he might take Orlando's offer but it'll backfire if he does. I think.

@@stakesishigh577 Magic

@@GreatestCreation909 I can see him going to the magic especially if they offer multiple years.

Basically it’s magic or bust Magic going after a lot of players Paul George Monk Klay Beasley Also interested in Simons via trade

He's not an idiot Atlanta wanted way to much he didn't have a choice unless he wanted to get screwed

Facts dlo fooooled the fakers😂😂😂😂

@@CaliBuddzZz He brought in Westbrick....he's an IDIOT!

He tried!

This is insanity!

The same way Max Christie is having a breakout season and Austin becomes an all-star - delusion.

Whoever said that must be drunk on cheap liquor. JJ has no coaching history at all. I really don’t understand how he could be mentioned with coaches like Cassell, Borego etc let alone Riley!!!

@@bigtimelakersfan5836 Borego is just as ass as JJ but with experience

That's the delusion management lives in these days. Smh

They say Pat Riley potential

Don't gabe enough for him

Too late. Malik has found another home. He loves playing beside his best friend.

Monk is a liability defensively

@@anthonybrown6574no lol he’s leaving sac

Monks getting 20 plus

Facts! This wat im saying. If im dlo im being selfish.

Preach. 👍 Should have completed a mid-season trade involving D'Angelo Russell. Now D'Angelo has that "Player's Option" as a weapon to leave the Lakers and the Lakers gain no assets

He’s not in the driver seat of anything teams just watched him fold two years straight after all of these different teams in the playoffs. You can bet that these other teams are looking at the league as wide open right now next year there isn’t a favorite to win I believe there are a lot of teams who can win the championship next year. The Denver Nuggets are not going to be the same team anymore, I think wide D’Angelo Russell screw himself teams are going to win. They’re not looking for people who can’t handle the pressure.

​@@basketballgod2791 In that case every player who failed to make it to the finals folded as well

Who?

@@PossMcLeod Micah Nori

JJ as a player! Really was not that good. And as a lifelong Lakers fan, this hiring will put them back another 2 years. The blueprint for winning has been shown this playoff run. Must get younger and have 1 or 2 big two-way wing players.

@@PossMcLeod Rob needs to reach out to BRIAN SHAW 1st He was Phil Jacksons assistant coach during the Kobe/ Gasol years

@@SK-ph3pn who is that

That's what I said BEFORE the Lakers reacquired him.

I wouldn't say that if the magic take him who are the teams with a legit star level guard in the east. Bucks and Knicks. I think he actually flourishes since there isn't as much pressure as there is in L.A.

Keep dlo...they better keep dlo

@@blairbryan4040- He only ‘flourishes’ in the regular season. In the playoffs, he’s unplayable, inconsistent trash (most of the time). Ask the Lakers, Timberwolves, & the Nets.

@@disintegrateallhumans3067 ​@disintegrateallhumans3067 Lakers nets there was pressure, wolves in the west. Magic there zero pressure to perform

Good take. Bob Myers is available. He's on ESPN everyday. The GM for Timberwolves, also has an out clause in his contract, that allows him to leave, since A Rod group, didn't buy team

@@josephmcintyre752 🤞

pelinka deals won a title n 2020 and lakers went to the wcf last year. if that is awful, then wait till we get anther gm and fail to win a title and you same whiners will complain about the new gm being awful

@@cooper2132 to win a title with 2 big athletic centers & then swap them out for 6'7 Trez to spite the Clippers, & a beyond his prime, flat footed Marc Gasol is why we didn't repeat. That & AD getting Hurt in the Phoenix series which was out of everyone's control. Then nixing both the Kuzma & Trez for Derozan or Buddy Hield deals which would have allowed us to keep KCP & the 22cd pick only to trade all of our depth along with the pick for Westbrook. Not to mention not retaining Caruso when we had the $ to do so in order to give THT a boated deal when he didn't contribute to our teams success because he had a few decent games then turn around & trade him the following year for Pat Bev, on the same team with Westbrook 🤦🏻‍♂️then instead of retaining Bamba & Beasley if only to have their contracts as tradable pieces we just let them walk for nothing & we can't replace the 29 million in cap space that those decisions cost us. It's just 1 questionable move after another. The 2020 roster happened because of Leonard closing the Flippers, not good GM skills or we would be stuck in a bad deal with a always hurt Leonard instead of any roster depth.

Literally

He was solid on offense in the regular season. Sorry but we need someone who doesnt forget how to play when the playoffs arrive. Dak prescott of basketball.

But that’s terrible asset management. You can’t replace his $$ because the Lakers are already over the cap. So if he walks you can’t replace him with an equivalent player.

@@manmo0808exactly

Because either the other candidates are not good enough, or are already taken early like Coach Bud to the Suns

@@DaleRojoDecaf I find that extremely hard to believe but okay

Because they are incompetent. Lakers never valued coaching. Besides Phil, they haven’t ever had a solid coach since Pat Riley

@@majormarketing6552 Frank Vogel was a solid coach, championship coach...and then they traded for Westbrook. Hows Westbrook going for Ty Lue? 😊

​@@DaleRojoDecafhow's frank going for the sun's? FIRED

He's been linked to Orlando. He really would, be good for that team

Agreed. Young is a nightmare in defense comparing to DiLo.

If they do, they need to be placed in remedial classes.

What candidates are you speaking of? Lue will be resigned by the clippers. Name a few....

@@dunkindonuts215 Sam Cassell, James Borrego, Micah Nori, David Adelman.

@@kevincantal4646 I'll take any of these candidates over JJ Redick any day. Unfortunately, the FO will probably make the wrong choice once again.

💯

Great and fair breakdown about dlo. You really can't trust him

These are valid points. I'd just like to point out, these factors were know, when they traded for him.

Lol this is why I laugh when people want DLo gone so bad

Please explain how you see that??

@@doubleaj672 haven’t you noticed this fan base likes to overate every young player the team has, I’m a laker fan but not delusional into thinking Christie can even play a role next season, Dlo was literally the lakers 3rd best player last season 😂 to think that Christie can even provide anything close to that is delusional

@@doubleaj672 9 NBA Seasons in. D-Lo has always played things as "a little too cool to care." He's supposed to be the 3rd best player on the Lakers. Results for the 2023 Sweeping loss vs Nuggets? 93 minutes in 4 games and scored 25 total points. He shot .341% FG for the series and just .183% from the three for the series. In 2024, he played 184 minutes vs Denver in 5 games and scored 71 total points. For one game he scored ZERO points in that series. He was .346% FG and .289% from the three in the 2024 Denver series. After getting swept and humiliated in 2023 by the Nuggets, LBJ and A.D. showed up to give the Lakers a chance. D-Lo wasn't up to it. Again. Max Christie is a big guard and should have been given a chance when the "veteran" was off on his game.

@@BaumgartenFilms - I concur, DLO was problematic against Denver. Fact. However, he did pretty good up to that point! You said Christie has “more heart”. That makes no sense. How??? I can agree that Christie should have been given a shot, but more heart?? He’s not shown ANYTHING that resembles “more heart”. I’m a LAKER fan since Magic’s rookie year, but your statement is a bit too much bro.

Max ain't it🤣

Or they believe that NBA fans are actually stupid!

They have confirmed interest in him

No one wanted DLO at the trade deadline. Don't you remember the Hawks game when the fans chanted we don't want you while he was shooting free throws

@@Balla68they didn’t want his player option… no teams trade for a player that has a player option at the deadline… bc they are is a huge possibility tht the player doesn’t resign…. so now you waisted a valuable asset

Dejounte can't defend either. Atlanta got worse defending after signing him. There's a video on RU-vid about it lol

@@GreatestCreation909 Sorry but that isn't true and even if he was an average defender he is 10 times better defender than Russell who doesn't even try

@@starshipcaptain4753 and d disappears always in the playoffs lake show would have beat Denver last year if he could have shown up

@@richardgreene7329 Totally The Lakers backcourt is good offensively but is a joke defensively and teams know it

Neither did Pat Riley when the Lakers hired him. They actually have same background.

Nor did Phil Jackson when the Bulls hired him after firing a popular head coach - Doug Colins

Who the fck are these?

But then you lose all that 3 point shooting

@@tocadadj2951 DLo is a streaky shooter that is atrocious on defense which is why he is not the right fit to be the Lakers starting PG. The Lakers would be better off with a PG who is just a decent shooter but an elite and physical defender. Defense and size wins championships.

@erikkdane8485 Same could be said of Reaves. But man tough to lose any of those two. When D Lo is on he is good entertainment. Love watching the Lakers play with his effortless 3 point shot. Same with Reaves. Dude is hard worker and smart player but cant seem to be able to play D. Not because of effort but its just physical limitations

I say Mark jackson asst.sam cassell phil handy

Anyone but JJ Redick please.

Pretend he’s not white my guy. 🤔

​@@quiara25 so what?! But since you mentioned race: the last 7 championship coaches were all nerdy white boys: Kerr, Nurse, Vogel, Bud, Kerr, Malone... Not Byron Scott/Ham "man up" kinda of coaches

Quite genius tbh😂

Absolutely. Now he can play the sideline

This is what happens when you put profits above winning. Jeannie pretty much sold her soul to Lebron until he retires. In the meantime the franchise will stay in the media sphere and selling merch and she also capitalizes on Bron's farewell season. As business, makes total sense but the Lakers will continue in Play-in purgatory. smh

They have to say that because so few candidates actually want the job.

@@gugy68Peace! Bingo she sold her soul…

​@@gugy68 sell her soul lol this is basketball not the holocaust

​@gugy68 what happens when Lebron leaves? You trading Lebron? What the lakers were before he came
