Woj: Lakers hire Redick for HC

[WuTang_CMB]

Read on Twitter

Redick is signing a four-year deal worth in the neighborhood of $8 million per season with the Lakers, according to sources briefed on the deal.

Redick interviewed for the Toronto Raptors’ top coaching job in 2023 and the Charlotte Hornets this year. He has never coached professionally — his only coaching experience to this point was with his son’s youth basketball team.

lol

Yikes

Lakers really got rid of one of the biggest game changers in NBA history in Alex Caruso, let their biggest threat get KCP, got rid of a good role player in Kuzma, added a horrible fit to their team in Westbrook, washed Melo, Ariza, Augustin, horrible coach in Ham, abandoned the center position to make AD play a position he hates..... all because of AD getting injured in 2021 where they easily go back to back

Kind of interested to see how he does. He was a candidate for Toronto last year.

I think if Joe Mazulla can be a head coach who can win a title, JJ could also be a high level coach. It seems like having a ton of experience is not always needed. Mazulla wasn't a guy with a ton of experience, especially not in the NBA, but he found ways to connect with his players.

Reddick is a good communicator. Let's see if he ends up a winner, or pushed out in a year or two like Steve Nash.

Yeah, I'm interested to see how he does. Should be fun to see if we missed out on a potential good coach, or if he was just overhyped (most likely).

[PushDaRock]

Wonder if he keeps doing his podcast

[ArthurVandelay]

Are you **** kidding me?

Who saw this coming?

Anyone?
Anyone?

lol

[SharoneWright]

Worst job in the league. Glamorous, sure.

But the dude had such a long runway.

He got the Hurley offer! Lol.

[alpngso]

Really interested in how this experiment turns out since he was up for TO job last season

[Nebuchadnezzar]

What a disaster. Surround him with experience? Lol, if you have to state that explicitly about assistants, you know your head coach is in trouble.

[Basketball_Jones]

Nice. Hope he’s better coaching then he is commentating because that was awful.

[mtcan]

Was thr JJ hiring an ethical hiring? Will he do some ethical coaching?

[alpngso]

4/32M. They saved 40M by not paying Hurley and giving the job to a former player/podcaster w/o zero experience

[NBA Sheady]

Redickulous.

[Mak]

Lebron got his guy, he will have no issue controlling him or blaming him when the time is right. Lebron is basically coach manager now and will be in charge of whatever they do, while Redick and other will do all the prep.

[Kobe Anunoby]

Nice. Hope he’s better coaching then he is commentating because that was awful.

One can only hope our Alvin can find a landing spot somewhere else. At least JJ wasn’t as bad as alvin who makes our broadcasts unlistenable.

[canz55]

I'm shocked JJ didn't have the wisdom to not pursue this. He seems like such an intelligent guy.

He must know this will go badly for him and he doesn't mind the payday. At the very least it's content for his podcast.
