While it's a bad coaching career choice, still a good financial choice for himself 🤣, will coach for 7 months, Lakers doesn't make it to the playoffs, JJR gets paid and play golf for the next 4 years...
Idk man jj may not be able to help the lakers. But everytime jj talks ball even when i do not agree with him i can usually understand his view point. Not all nba players have basketball IQ i think JJ does. Monty williams is a good coach but i wouldnt freak out over not getting him.
This is the dumbest coaching hire in recent memory. He has literally no experience and didn't pay any dues. Meanwhile. Mark Jackson and Sam Casell still out there with no job. The lakers fans will be brutal. If they start out bad, they'll probably fire a m after a few months, but this is all on Lebron
Topline sports good commentary good analysis. Only the Lakers hire JJ Reddick, no coaching experience whatsoever a former player and announcer. Oh yeah, he has a podcast with who? With LeBron James. You could think is a good hire, I don’t he’s inexperienced and it’s gonna hurt them somewhere down the line. You know Detroit fired Monte Williams, who was available. He’s a veteran head coach who is least been to the finals once as a coach. He was available and this is what the Lakers come up with. So don’t expect anything big if they avoid injuries and you got a 40 year old player that you’re gonna give a three year contract to oh yeah by the way, you probably son. All it is is just too much. JJ is going to be a yes man to LeBron. That’s it.
It's JJ Redick bro lol, but yeah, I actually like the hire. It's a bit of an outside-the-box hire that I actually think can work because of his knowledge of the game and relationship with LeBron. JJ is a very smart guy and when you're a role player like JJ was, part of what helps you stay afloat longer is your understanding of the little things of the game. Since he couldn't rely on top level talent like the stars of the league could, he had to be more of the detail-oriented guy to help him on the court. I like the hire bro
