Boys basketball is remarkably similar to NBA I’ve heard

Lakers NEED to get PG and Draymond. The podcasting on that team will be insane. Maybe we’ll win another IST with them, another banner sounds great.

JJ Redick’s ego will reach unprecedented levels if they are actually good

Lakers what a joke of a franchise.

My wife went to high school with JJ, small world. Hopefully he’s less of an arrogant dick now than he apparently was back then or this won’t last long.
He seemed tolerable while on the Sixers, but he was also being overpaid as a gun for hire shooting wise so it’s hard to know.

A professional coach with no coaching experience?
This will work out swimmingly.

If someone is throwing money at you, do you tell them to stop?
guacdoc24
He also says he doesn’t give a fuck what y’all say about him 🔥

There should be a Before and After coaching the Lakers meme cooking up somewhere soon

He really needs to stay off social media. This is gonna go from cute and self-aware to a disaster real quick if he stays this sensitive
staffdaddy_9
I hope he does great just so everyone can fuck off. Who knows if he is gonna be a good coach, but he’s a smart guy who clearly knows ball. Y’all act like it’s just some nobody off the street. This is hardly the first time a former player without coaching experience has been hired. I think Larry Bird and Steve Kerr did okay if I remember correctly.

Boy they better win some games or JJ’s trademark condescending personality is gonna get old real quick

So what? Chauncy Billups had never coached in the NBA and….and….you know what? Good luck next year Laker fans.

This is how I know the majority of people here are some hating ass mf.
JJ Redick is the personification of everything this sub supposedly likes and he still getting hated on

Let’s stop pretending like an NBA coach is anything more than an overglorified babysitter who has to manage different personalities.

I’ve already seen too many headlines about this and he probably doesn’t even have a Lakers polo yet.

Is LBJ going to really listen to JJ?!
NoWayNotThisAgain
I feel like this is going to be a clusterfuck of epic… and comic… proportions.

JJ:”Im inexperienced!”

This guy is such an ass, he’s perfect for LA.

Yeah but he’s coached at the college level before, right? Or at least high school, surely.

I don’t think him not coaching in the NBA before matters that much as far as players strictly caring because of his lack of NBA coaching experience.
Where it will matter is if he just isn’t a good coach.
His team will really buy in depending on how he treats players. Yes, I know it’s not fair to compare the best current coach to every new hire, but look at Pop’s career. Didn’t give a fuck if you were Tim Duncan or the 12th man. You aren’t getting special treatment.
Where this especially applies to the Lakers is the fact that their new head coach as A FUCKING PODCAST WITH LEBRON JAMES.
In any field, relationships with your employees matter.
Outside of that, of course just being able to make in-game adjustments.

So if this fails and JJ looks amateur after 2 years it’s gonna be hard to take the Jeannie Lakers serious
panamaquina
oh he sooo funny
FCHWPO9
He’s about to get out-coached by ‘plumbers and firefighters’
CountOff
His media availability is gonna be so good when they lose and reporters ask him *those* questions
PocketFullOfRondos
He’s going g to be insufferable either way and I’m going to enjoy it.

Yes, JJ, yes. And the fact you are coaching the team The Logo played on, during a generation of players you openly mocked and trashed, just makes it more a stab in the heart.

LOLakers haha

Lol I love it. Go get em JJ
DeviantDragon
If he’s anything like Jason Kidd who went directly from player to head coach (no break in between in Kidd’s case between retiring and coaching vs. 3 years off for Redick) then it could work out. I know the org and the fans are notoriously impatient but if he can make the playoffs and win at least a series I think it’d still have to be considered a decent hire right?
