The 15-year NBA sharpshooter seems poised to take the head coaching leap.
It appears that former 15-year NBA shooting guard JJ Redick, who's emerged as a media force in the podcast and broadcast spaces since retiring in 2021, is at least one of the top prospects angling for the Los Angeles Lakers' head coaching gig. L.A. team president is looking to hire its fourth head coach since 2017.
To be fair, given the competition level in the Western Conference, the aging Lakers have had a respectable few years. L.A. made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals in 2023, and won 47 contests this season before being quickly vanquished in the first round of the playoffs. This result prompted Pelinka to fire his most recent hire, Darvin Ham, after just two seasons, but the club's personnel seems to be the problem.
During an appearance on Peacock's "The Dan Patrick Show" with the titular journo, ESPN's Brian Windhorst speculated on a prospective timeline for a potential Redick hire.Head Coach, he doesn’t see it happening until after the Finals being that he’ll be a part of the broadcast team on ABC.
Redick is a largely unproven commodity. How he'll do leading a team fronted by 20-time All-NBA forward LeBron James and nine-time All-Star center/power forward Anthony Davis remains to be seen.
