The funniest pendulum swing would be if Redick ends up being a good coach 😭

Totally…who doesn’t look at JJ Redick and think to themselves “man that guy reminds me of a young Pat Riley”?

plot twist: Adrien Brody is the new Lakers coach
Complexity777
Lakers go through coaches like it’s nothing and they don’t exactly have a great contending roster next year with a 40 year old Lebron as their anchor
I could see his being another Steve Nash situation, Redick could eventually be a good coach but not never get the chance if Lakers under perform next year
poeope
I’m personally looking forward to halftime of game 1 to be 100 percent about the Lakers and JJ.

I view him and someone who is going to get absolutely dumpstered for being patronizing the second the Lakers go on a losing streak

I dunno about that. Redick doesn’t have a mob boss vibe to him.

The Lakers think JJ is slicked back, when he’s really pushed back.

Is this like JJ’s PR spin? Seems like such a wierd talking point to push incessantly.

Pat Riley: white JJ Redick: white
Bah Gawd they are right! He is a young Riley.

Is anyone there old enough to remember a young Pat Reilly ?
brncct
I’m gonna say it.
They’ll hire him, he’ll struggle big time for half the season but they’ll figure it out and he will become the next Pat Riley and lead them to back to back titles in 2027 and 2028 (Riley went back to back in ’87 and ’88) with Bronny James as the back to back Finals MVP.
Save this post. Buy call options. Put it on your fridge.

If anyone is a young Pat Riley, it’s probably Quinn Snyder.

I love JJs content, but this is a bad idea. Zero coaching experience outside of his 10 years travel club. This is not going to go well for them.

In Redick’s defense, Riley was a Lakers broadcaster, then became a Lakers assistant coach for only one season before he became the head coach.
Redick could just as easily be Pat Riley or Steve Kerr rather than Steve Nash. Although having prime Curry/Durant or prime Magic/Jabbar on your team does help matters.
I think the experience of being an NBA player shouldn’t be so easily discounted.

they need to hire someone to help them stop themselves from drinking their own Kool aid

No coach is going to turn a team around without the backing of a good front office. Pops hasn’t been any good lately cause the front office hasn’t been able to put a good team on the floor. Phil Jackson won titles cause he coached the best players in history. Even Darvin Ham would win a few titles with those teams. Doesn’t matter who is the coach for the Lakers. The Front office is too stupid to put a good roster on the floor.

Sources: Lakers are absolutely smitten with JJ Reddick, can’t get over how “classy” he is when compared with his predecessor

JJ please just coach Lebrons team in Vegas. This pros don’t outweigh the cons at all here. Going to a play in team to try and win a championship and when that doesn’t happen you ruin your reputation. After that nobody will want to hear you draw up plays on your pod no more
Reverend_Tommy
No, LeChump is infatuated with him. Everyone knows by now that this is all about LeBron once again fucking around with the front office. I’m sure this also means the Lakers will waste a draft pick on Bronny to appease the biggest narcissist in the NBA. I hope the Lakers have a decade of rebuilding after this. They deserve it.
