The Lakers considered a wide-range candidates, including making an offer to UConn coach Dan Hurly, before circling back to Redick.

Jeez, I really was right about a Lakers head coach story every single day for the rest of our lives.

Just tell 'em how much you hope they pick Bronny at #17 and the job is yours JJ. The whole league hopes they pick Bronny at #17, as do I.

This whole JJ/LA thing has brought out something petty in me. I have never had a strong opinion about Redick... solid players, smart, long career, good for him, but I would sell a kidney for him to take the job and bomb. I'm not sure why; but there it is.

Was it actually an interview or a twilight Dinner with Jeannie Buss & Linda Rambis at Yamashiro?

I honestly have no idea why he would do this over his meteoric rise in media where all he has to do is hangout and look good all day without any serious responsibility and probably make more money than coaching.

And, oh yeah, the Lakers organization is a clown boner.
