Dan Patrick wonders what type of impact the Los Angeles Lakers new head coach JJ Redick can bring to the franchise as well as how the former player will handle all the scrutiny that comes with being the head coach of the Lakers
I've got a feeling JJ might not even make it through the year. Once the Lakers start struggling to be in playoff contention, LeGM won't be happy & he'll look for a scapegoat to blame to absolve him of responsibility. So JJ could be pushed aside for one of those experienced assistant coaches they hired
anyone that says LeGM clearly doesn't pay attention to what the Lakers do lol. they'd have Kyrie, Ty Lue, and probably Derozan if they actually did what he wanted them to do lmfao
also why wasn't Ham fired at any point last season when it was evident LeBron was fed up with him prior to the halfway point? "LeGM" would of had him fired even earlier since the players knew he was an awful coach
He'll handle the criticism the same way he handled the criticism of modern day players, by disingenuously twisting numbers to spin a false narrative like he's a business analyst for a soulless corporation.
If you coach the Lakers and LeBron or his son aren't winning right away or even playing well, you have just become the Steve Bartman for the franchise. I don't think LeBron or Anthony Davis have enough in the tank to make any type of serious run this year.
Not even Phil Jackson could save these Lakers. They'll be lucky to make the play-in gonna be a wild ride for JJ good chance he'll get chewed up and spat out
I mean I believe jj attitude going to rub players the wrong way I think he the first player that retired and got a head coaching job maybe 3 years out the league... so the players going to look at him like he still a player and not a coach ijs one of them players mite try him when he try to talk crazy ....
There are 200+ players in the NCAA right now that are averaging less than 5 points per game just like Bronny...none of them will get drafted because there dad is not LeBron.
JJ Redick is gone in a year, good riddance, be his own man, how is that going too happen when LeBron is on his back, telling him what too do, the Laker’s have gone from the Laker’s too the Sucker’s, they Suck
JJ will be paid handsomely to go down with the ship. The Lakers have no great assets, an old Lebron, his son, and a broken AD. JJ will be paid well to keep his hands on the wheel right now. But the beauty days are over.
