Will the Lakers have patience with JJ Redick? | Chris Vernon Show

basketball wise and him being in the league for as long as he has and all that kind of stuff um this a he’s a smart guy and he’s got a good relationship with the people that matter most on that team and I don’t think that it’s I I think he could be a good basketball coach it would not surprise me at all if he’s a good basketball coach all of the outside stuff is the stuff that would be at least concerning and and that is you never know how a coach is going to react to severe criticism and for the first time second thing is being LeBron’s coach has been a entirely thankless proposition you will get no credit you will get all the blame that’s just been for every coach along the way um except for maybe tyo but even Eric spola if you go back in time you know history remembers this differently they tried to run him out you know I mean and he’s been and I think most people would consider him as good if you lose with LeBron on your team you’re horrible and if you win you just got to be LeBron’s coach ask Frank vogle Frank vogle was gone within two years of winning a title for God’s sakes Darin H made the West finals with a team that had no business being in the west finals um and he’s already gone right so that’s the thing and the biggest thing is the politics of it all so it’s like whoever’s got the owner’s ear that day and if you read like how they kind of came to JJ reick it’s very like okay bro who calls the shots here right he’s a rinka he’s a genie bus because like two the stakeholders had all met with JJ reic and all this stuff but the only ones that met with Dan Hurley were Rob binka and jeie bus and jeie really wanted Dan Hurley but then you have Linda rambus and Kurt Ram it’s like like how do you negotiate all that and the other one that was weird it was like Genie really wanted Dan what but then they only offered 70 million if you really want Dan Hurley 70 was never getting it done right so it’s just all it to me it just reads like a too many cooks in the kitchen who do I have to align myself with here cuz I know pinka he ain’t the guy that’s going to sit next to the owner and when things turn to crap says it’s the roster and I got to fix this roster he’s the one that’s going to say it’s the coach cuz we know he’s GNA say it’s the coach because he said it’s the coach twice three times already yeah you know like that’s always and it’s like who who has that power right is it Curt and Lim to rambus when they talk to Genie bus like who do I have to align myself with here you know what I mean like who’s calling the shots you know you know where else is is like um Texas I’ve had coaches tell me like that there’s a lot of great things about the Texas job but the pro I had one guy who was uh a candidate for Texas turned it down and he was like you don’t know who you have has the juice that’s right it’s like there’s too many people there’s too many boosters and if your buddies with this booster then this booster hates you and it’s like there’s just too many it’s a real thing to navigate and it’s difficult right well even in that one it said the one of the reasons that the JJ thing is because of Mike sheski like what the hell like okay that’s fine but it’s like nobody thinks it’s weird that you might have asked Mike cheski what he thinks about this situation right but the fact that that is like one of the people you consult on right like that you could theoretically Genie bus could talk to mik sheski who she has a relationship with because her dad tried to woo him years ago she could walk away from that going you know what I think we actually really need to hire JJ reck whatever when maybe Ro pinka is like you know what James burgo might be the best fit for ad and the rest of the guys and whatever it’s like I don’t know man you wonder who’s got the juice and that’s what JJ’s going to have to figure out because there’s going to be the first article that bill platy right saying this is what you get when you hire a guy that’s never coach a basketball game yeah and he’s super online too so he’s going to like try to clap back to people and they’ll call him LeBron’s friend they’ll say super onine when it gets tough it will be really bad right and you’ve got a two and six stretch in eight games it’s because it will happen because you’re dealing with the team whose best players are LeBron and AD who and during an 82 game regular season they’re going to take a stretch off where they’re not going to be that and Darin H experiences there’s no honeymoon bro when you coach a franchise like that they believe he can be Eric spoler and Pat Riley well that means you that means you have to live through the mistakes and the growing and Y and so I was talking to Ben about this earlier cuz you know this I know this that means they have to at least hear it they know what they know what people are saying oh you just hired LeBron’s podcast buddy to coach I if you were Genie bus or rambus or anybody who has juice in that would it make you say we have to be patient with this otherwise I know it’s going to be mocked that’s right we have to let him see this through yep wherever it goes we got to write it out right I I wonder if that helps JJ R everybody says at the beginning though I know it’s harder to do than it is it’s easier to say than it is to do you know the other one people say this about is like uh rebuilding or uh yeah going through a rebuild it’s like all right we’re going to you know we’re going to move this guy for picks and it’s going to be hard but like the pay everybody’s like okay yeah I know what we’re doing and then you get in the middle of it it’s like this sucks I know and there’s a look there’s a coach that’s about to get paid $65 million not to coat right right that’s how bad it can suck the Chris Vernon show presented by Caesar Sportsbook live weekdays at noon
