Sigh, back to the Redick talks… at least do more due diligence/interviews with Adelman, Nori, or other potential coaches first lol.

Celtics go 3-0 up, we hire 3 point shooter Reddick. Kill me now.

He better be pat fucking Riley that’s all I’m gonna say

Shams was right all along.
Woj did something sketchy with the Hurley stuff.

Strong performance? What will he do? show Rob and Jeannie how to do podcasting as a coach?

This has been a bad week for Lakers nation

-A college coach rejected us
-Celtics close to winning 18
-Jerry West passes away
-Now we’re seriously considering a podcaster with no experience to coach us.
Feels bad man

Have we tried unplugging the front office and then plugging them back in?

This front office reminds me of my two year old. No matter how many times I tell him he shouldn’t pee in his underpants, he just does it anyway.

If at work my boss hired someone with a completely absent pedigree of prior success in related positions, I’d wonder if I’m in the right organization. Hiring this schmo off the street has to rankle the feathers of everyone who has paid their dues to the Lakers. Why be a scout for the Lakers when all your hard work is squandered by the dork with a podcast when it’s time to actually play the game?
The players you vouch for will never turn out as well, your own KPI’s are going to look wretched, and you’ll be fucked when it comes to finding another job at another organization that is actually competent, valuing results over flash.
This is how/why brain drains happen. Sell the team, Buss family. It’s been a great run, but it’s over.

I know most are disappointed with the Hurley situation, but don’t forget the top tier NCAA coaches have very very little history of success in the NBA.
You have a much better historical track record with former players, GMs, commentators, and video guys.

Woj finally got a Redick scoop. He must be so happy.

It’s clear the Lakers want a “outside the box” hire. They want the high risk, high reward hire. It’s why the are not going to hire Burrego, Adelman, Nori, Atkinson, etc even tho they are much safer hire. They don’t want safe. Both Hurley and JJ are high risk high reward in their own way although it’s clear Hurley was the much safer choice for obvious reasons.
EtheMan12
Don’t hire him for Jerry’s sake.

The better question is, who wants the job at this point

I’d imagine this is just a formality now lmao. We got our man and I hate it.

If AD is cool with it I’m fine with it.

The way the Lakers move make me think they have no sense of urgency. Isn’t the draft coming up in two weeks? Wouldn’t you think it be wise to have a head coach hired and assistant coaches figured out in way advance before the draft?

Woj posting this after perpetuating that Hurley bullshit is so slimy.

Why not just go after a qualified assistant over someone players don’t like and someone that has no experience? Figured you could do that and just fire him after a year like you normally do.
_Aracano
he wouldn’t be getting this far if AD wasn’t open to him being the coach LOL
Toolazytolink
We getting a Podcaster as a coach? This is going to be and utter disaster or a new banner.
IdkWhatsAGoodName699
Pls no.
JJ is offensive minded. He’s flopped on his analyst takes on defence (as seen by AD non vote) and he’s never been good at D in his playing career.
I know we have AD, but an offensive coach with some defensive semblance of knowledge on bball D will be a huge help. That brother AD needs help on D and we can’t rely on 40 year old Bron to be that help while also being the offensive engine.
Unless JJ is hiring experienced assistants that have a good track record of organising the D, I don’t see it working if he becomes coach.
Only positive I see is he was a player who would need sets run for him to score, and he played with CP3. He should have gained offensive knowledge from those things. And he is from his playing career, an expert at role players getting catch and shoot open 3s. We could use that.
I have demonstrated my phd in yapology. Good night y’all
