How Interested Are the Lakers in JJ Redick Compared to Other Coaching Candidates?

- The Lakers don't seem to be in a massive hurry to get something done vis-a-vis the coaching search, since two big names are off the market (Mike Budenholzer, Charles Lee), one isn't likely to get there (Ty Lue) and the only other open job belongs to the Washington Wizards. Meanwhile, oft-named candidates are still occupied, whether that's David Adelman (Denver), Micah Nori (Minnesota), or Sean Sweeney (Dallas).
Or, of course, JJ Redick (ESPN).
Depending on whose reporting in which you want to focus on in any given day-and it should be said, the usual suspects are all doing good work of solid reporting, even if/when some of the reporting doesn't completely match-the Lakers have a high level of interest in Redick, particularly. It's no surprise, given his relationship with LeBron James and what has been a very high profile ascendence into the future coach ranks.
Some reports say the Lakers are currently leaning into Kenny Atkinson as their primary "experienced coach" candidate, with Redick as the primary "new guy," even while the most sought after assistants are still there.
To be clear, all of this is based on the reading of tea leaves, but it's easy to see how if the Lakers really have put Redick at the front of the line, and really are looking at this at least to start as more of a binary between Redick and Atkinson, then it probably means they really want Redick. Is that smart? Is that how it's going to play out?
Lots of questions still to answer!

This is the most Lakers storyline ever. I Swear this is a Fantasy basketball team sometimes 😂
Brian is saying JJ is gonna be this and that, but proving ni reasoning as to why he thinks so 😭. yapper
The Lakers just completed an up and down season that the L.A. fans, the majority of the press and two 40 to 50 million dollar a year players seemed to have blamed solely on Ham. Now Buss and Pelinka are really truly considering hiring a Podcaster that has only coached his kid and a bunch of 3rd or 4th graders. I am a long time Laker fan but this right here is CLIPPER like behavior. If this coaching hire doesn't work out then Pelinka needs to pack his bags with the next fired coach no matter who he hires.
You had a chance to observe this team on the floor for 1.5 seasons under Ham... Does he deserve the blame he's getting?
What do you think?
.... Don't go by the national media at large... Trust your eyes...Ham was horrendous is a blindingly inescapable fact... Don't you agree??
@@Murali_bala13 Re- read my post and tell me where you incorrectly assumed I was defending Coach Ham.
I feel like I clearly stated that following the hiring of an inexperienced head basketball ball coach with the hiring of a coach that has only coached his own kid and a bunch of 3rd and 4th graders would be Clipper like or basically bush league. Pelinka needs to go if this coaching hire does not produce results.
I think what Brian is saying is Rob Pelinka is dumb enough to fall in love with a podcaster with no prior experience as our coach. No offense to podcasters, especially with all the great discount codes I've gotten over the years.🙌
The fact the he's even getting interviewed is wild. He drew up a couple of plays on a podcast now all the sudden he's head coach material?
He's was on that podcast with their franchise cornerstone and favorite of the owner. @@JB-sc1tg
Steve Kerr was the same when he was handed the Warriors coaching job.... So I think experience is overrated
Kerr was sun's gm casual
I think rajon would be an insane coach, but from what I have heard him say he doesn't sound ready
Rajon is as good a name as any at this point. Kenny Atkinson did well in Brooklyn before he got railroaded by the front office so he might be a good consideration. Actually he might be the best.
JJ as a coach will make the Lakers laughable.
Duke players normally make good coaches Jon scheyer is doing great at Duke
It’s better to laugh than cry
And why so?... He is no different than where Steve Kerr or Phil Jackson or Greg Popovich or Ty Lue or Eric Spoelstra were at the beginning of their head coaching tenure... All 3 won a championship in their 1st or 2nd year coaching... Ofcourse all of them had mostly a strong support staff assisting them
Dude all those had gm or coach experience not some Podcaster an tv personality
@@cheetahturner4576 not really...JJ is not just a TV personality, he's a 15yr NBA vet widely recognised as one of the brightest minds with an obsessive passion to study the game... Also Get your facts right....Phil and Pop were assistants for a season, Spo and Lue were understudies to Riley and Doc, Kerr was in the front office...but JJ is an NBA vet and possibly has the full backing and support of LeBron and AD that can cover any coaching inexperience. I also said JJ needs a strong coaching staff backing him.... These are elements of success. Great coaches have to start somewhere.... and it's not like we have proven alternatives.... And pls don't tell me Mark Jackson and Atkinson... Those are laughable failures of coaching...
It's not gonna take no damn month half to hire a coach. I see a coach in place at least by NBA finals or before
No JJ Redick Please!!
And why not?
I don't understand why your show doesn't have more subscribers, keep working hard.
JJ gonna be the coach... LeBron wants it, nuff said. They're even discussing free agent/trade targets on Mind the Game Pod... Markenan, Trae, Klay. ***HOT TAKE*** when LBJJ is LeCoach continue the podcast!!! 😅🤣😂
Kenny Atkinson is a real coach with the nutz to get in that organization and bring them into the 21st century. JJ is Rob Pelinka, pretty, smart and a kool kid friend of a major star for the franchise. I suspect JJ will be loved by Jeanie as he will look great at Laker events she attends. Max Christie, Rob, JJ a charming and bespectacled Bron will be Jeanie and Linda’s dream guests at their next Laker house party🫤👍🏿
Unless it is lue not sure there is a better option, is there?
JJ Redick knows his X's and O's, has high basketball IQ, & can hold players accountable. I'd choose David Adelman. But if the Lakers choose Redick he could pull it off if he has an experienced assistant coaching staff.
Everybody that started on that Duke championship team is either a head Coach right now or Gm! Brand, dunleavy,scheyer and jj reddick greatest duke player of all time
Grant Hill an Lautner stay off weeed
I listened to the entire podcast. It didn't even seem that was a podcast primarily about Jj Redick, as the topic heading seem to indicate. However, what is glaring, is the omission of Mark Jackson as a potential candidate for Lakers head coaching job, among a long list of names you mentioned, even though you do not like him as a candidate, he deserves a mention like all the others mentioned. Now that the podcast is ending in the last minute, i now see why his name wasn't mentioned.
Yes, we all have our preferences, and good thing Lakers front office won't be listening to you to make a decision. It's a fans podcast, and we expect at least objectivity.
The reason we don’t talk about Jackson as a candidate for the job is that no outlet anywhere has reported the Lakers plan to interview him, far as I know. There’s interest from a segment of fans, but that’s it. When we talk about Jackson, it’s in response to that fan interest. But that’s why we don’t include him in the rest of the conversation. If that changes, and he becomes a more legitimate candidate, we’ll include him. BK
Mark Jackson is an asinine choice... Darwin Ham himself is measurably better than Jackson.... Stop it.... Thank God the Lakers front office is not even considering interviewing him
They need JJ to put on a jersey and SHOOT he the same age as Bron. 🤷♂️🤣
Fascinating = Their favorite word 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
JJ also played under Coach K at Duke
Assistant coach for sure n rondo and keep handy and find a defensive assistant coach and then add a serious coach
Could have had lue and had Kidd right there on your bench, so many blunders by front office in brons laker era, could have been alot more successful
Kidd wouldn’t have stayed on the bench if he could get a head coaching position
Out of those two of JJ and Atkinson to choose from, I'd prefer the experienced coach and pick the latter. My preference (and ultimate dream) would be for Jeanie to actually get an experienced head of basketball operations that has a grasp of running an organization and get Bob Meyers to call all the shots. That said, it's just a pipe dream. She is too comfy with what she has and JJ has LeBron's blessing, so I expect this to be the choice.
I would argue that JJ playing experience trumps being an assistant who never played at the NBA level like McVey or most NBA assistants that are candidates.
Well, this will be their fourth coach in five years. Clearly there are issues with the process.
JJ interviewed with the Raptors last year and Charlotte recently, so he's been turned away twice. I do think the dynamic with Lebron makes the Lakers job a better fit for him coaching top vets.
Yeah the issue with the process is lebron
@@coreypasley7537exactly. Much love LeBron, thank you for your service but I can't wait for this era to be done
@@coreypasley7537how so
PLAYERS LBJ AND AD
NOT PROCESS
PLAYERS LBJ AND AD
NOT PROCESS
Why not JJ? Andy the Lakers hired Rob Pelinka to be their VP and GM of basketball. And that's the problem.
I agree with Brian. Jj will the interview.
Lakers are the only team intrigued with JJ
From those JJ is best solution for la Lakers. U be lucky if he's your coach
And of course he gonna get good assistant coaches don't worry at all 👌😁
Maybe knowing more from being in meetings and putting together practice schedule may be a detriment, especially if your head coach model wasn't that successful. Sometime guys, lack of experience can be a refreshing clean slate. JJ may be more innovative and a much better game strategist. A little harsh on Mark Jackson, have to disagree.
Go outside the box and hire JJ, he has as much NBA experience as any assistant coach. He is intelligent and bred for success.
Could Mind the Game have been, at least a segment or two, to put JJ as the next head coach! Knowing Ham was going to be gone.
Lakers gonna sign JJ and Bronny then trade all their picks again. Get the popcorn ready for this dumpster fire.
If Doc weren't snatched up by Milwaukee over the winter I guarantee the ink on the contract would have been dry by the time Hams firing was announced on ESPN
Nori, Adelman and JJ will only be as good as the team personnel. Ham was behind the eight ball with personnel. These guys are all dependent on the front office getting a point guard who can produce consistently, team health and a bonafide big man that can also be productive. The Lakers need continuity, not sure if that word exists in the Lakers front office lexicon.
Mark Jackson or Kenny Atkinson. Let JJ focus on his podcasts. Mark Jackson would be hungry to prove himself again.
As long as JJ position AD as 4 I'm good. Any coach candidate who set AD at 5 is an automatic NO.
Why can't we convince Coach K to lead the Lakers?
FYI, a Lincoln is worth 2 Jeffersons and a George 😆😆😆😆😆
i don’t give a fuck who’s exciting or not. the lakers need to hire the best guy, and i don’t think the lakers have proven they know how to find that.
Steve Kerr was a broadcaster. With NO prior coaching experience. Spo wasn’t a lead assistant. He did video… Not saying JJ will hit, but if he does I can’t wait to look at the comment section who seems to know anything about JJ.
Edit: Of course, it’s risky. But I would contend that with a coach, it might actually be good to let LeBron and AD have input. LeBron has only “picked” one coach in his career. Truly. That was Ty Lue. In Miami, Riley came down to coach on their Wade title run.. So everyone forgets that he was on thin ice the whole time. (Bron left Miami because he wanted to return to Cleveland… that’s really the FULL reason.) Those guys might know more than us… just saying.
Also agree with the idea of JJ just being in the building. That would be awesome.
Riley replaced Van Grundy not Spo
Yes, but Kerr had years of executive experience in Phoenix before he was hired as a head coach. That matters. I'm not against the stars having input (you're correct, they should), or even against the idea of hiring Redick. I'm just looking at the process and what's being reported to this point. Ultimately, I think they widen the net, but if Redick is already near the front of the line, it'll be up to others to jump him. Appreciate the comment! BK
If Becky Hammond is a real candidate... I wouldn't be mad at; she's a champion as a player and coach, and she seems to be all about winning and holding players accountable (i.e., telling ol girl to lose some weight 😬) Some franchise is going to do it why not #1 franchise in nba history 🖤💜💛
I like JJ , he's a great basket ball mind but it just seems wrong for somebody who's literally never had any coaching experience on any level to land a Head coaching job for an NBA franchise let alone the LA Lakers !
You probably shouldn’t brag so much about 24,000 subscribers, considering Lakers nation has 500,000
Coach JJ is a done deal if Lebron wants it. Offense will be based on transition threes. AR, AD and DeLo need to practice their corner three's. Coach JJ told Lebron, shooting three's is all about the Math. We Will see if Lebron wants to buy in on an offense that shoots a lot of threes. If Lebron hires Coach JJ, they will rise or go down together. Bros. it's showtime.
Is Andy allowed to talk?? Does Brian ever stop talking my god
Which one is Andy
I like you guys a lot, but, today, Brian has talked himself into a corner on Redick and the hiring process. All indications are that there will numerous candidates interviewed.
I agree. There was a lot of "if" in what I was talking about. I suspect in the end (and said so) that they'll interview the assistants as well. My point was twofold - first, if as a couple people have reported the Lakers are looking at those two as leading candidates, I do think Redick will absolutely get the job. But even if they widen it out, and again, I think they will, if Redick is receiving a sort of early most-favored status, even if the other guys are good it could be hard to overcome. I hope the process looks pretty conventional by the end of it, and think the odds favor it. But JJ is the sort of quasi-celebrity star coach in this cycle, and the Lakers love that. And he will kill the interview, in part because he'll know how to talk in ways Pelinka will like. Appreciate you watching, and the comment! BK
I hope the Kamenetzky brothers read this, but if the Lakers have already decided they want Lebron for the rest of his career then they mine as well hire JJ, if it doesn’t work out fire him and hit the rebuild button like you would be doing when Lebron leaves anyway
Absolutely not I don’t think LeBron has that much into forcing the coach choice. I think it’s more AD team now!
BRO IS MARK JACKSON STILL ALIVE??? DID HE MOVE TO JAMAICA??? LIKE WHAT HAPPENED HAVENT HEARD ANYTHING?
What would it say about the Lakers if a guy who was rejected by the Charlotte Hornets becomes the team's next head coach?
Fact is…who else is out there?
How about frank 😆
can you get a take about the byron scott suggesting why not make lebron the coach.. he has a point anyway, and as a coach he can just sat himself more and transition to retiring... the mind the game thingy just want us to notice he has so much of the game IQ, thats why ham cant have the respect becoz lebron knows more than him "give me the board" lmao.. im better on this idea than this JJR coaching
What other candidates lolz
hire a coach who can put together a plan to contain jamal murray and joker !!!
The lakers need to learn from the past. Can someone name a first time head coach with no coaching experience other than Steve Kerr that had any success.
Phil Jackson, Greg Popovich, Ty Lue, Eric Spoelstra....is that enough names for you?
That's 19 championships between them....!!!!
@Murali_bala13 ty lue had experience as a assistant coach and I should have added in the last twenty years
Marc Jackson???
No just no.
36:05 Mark Jackson is one of those old school heads who thinks this NBA is not as good as his NBA . That's why he can't be coach of this NBA .
I disagree with you m. MR JACKSON HAS A BRILLANT MINDSET ABOUT THE NBA. HE'S HONEST AND HAS A WHOLE LOT OF WISDOM..PAY ATTENTION!
I like his common sense PROBLEM SOLVING"!
It’s not and if you don’t think so you know almost nothing about basketball
I already left one comment on this video. I wasn't gonna leave another comment but I don't think it's a good idea to tell people that you want to watch and listen to you that you don't care about what they think.
We didn’t say we don’t care what viewers think. We absolutely do, which is why we always encourage people to leave comments, which we often weave into the show. What we’ve said is we don’t care if viewers disagree with us. That’s a different thing, and totally fine. AK
@@LockedOnLakers Okay, thanks for clarifying. I appreciate it.
I’d be more interested in JJ coming to shoot some 3’s
David Adelman, Mark Jackson, Kenny Atkinson or dark house Chris Quinn from Miami. JJ Redick is now more of a bad reality TV show...it's the "I hope he transitions like Steve Kerr." And he could be more Steve Nash.
JJ Reddick would be a complete disaster. Not only is his podcast relationship with him a conflict of interest, but he has absolutely zero experience. Id be better off with him as an Assistant Coach.
Why would the Lakers consider JJR as a coach when they already gambled on a rookie head coach in darvin ham??? Darvin has assistant coach experience for at least a decade and you really think the front office would consider another rookie head coach with no coaching experience even as an assistant coach??? Thats moving backwards which makes no sense at all to consider JJR. Just because he has a podcast doesn't make him a candidate. Have we learned from the Steve Nash experiment in Brooklyn with no coaching experience to lead a team?? Come on people!!!!
Because he's someone Lebron can relate to and will respect and listen to genius.
All cause 1 rookie head coach didn't work. Doesn't mean another won't
Nash almost won a championship and he was undermined by other outside issues that was out of his control
Reddick isn’t Ham
@@gregorybrown5419 exactly same way just because one experienced coach fails doesn’t mean they all will fail
In my universe it was only till recently that reddick now has 1 D maybe I’ll go back to mine loving the multiverse tho 😂 swore it was reddick but then again maybe I just don’t be reading 😂
I don't know for a fact if Ham is a bad or good coach. I do however, know that Ham behaved at times like he didn't know what he was doing;
No time outs
No challenges
No fire
Questionable line ups
Hands in pockets for too long
Ham does know how to coach. He doesn't even know how to counter a zone. Took him 1 whole game to figure out how to counter zone defense.
No to ROOKIE coach please Lakers!
Wtf would lakers bring back Vogel. Wtf would Vogel come back? Ya stop with these ridiculous takes. JJ will get the job
Only Lakers fans think they can mistreat a coach like they did Vogel, to then expect him to come crawling back to do it again
Jj Redick 😂😂😂
Yall last names is why yall don’t like Mark Jackson. Has nothing to do with coaching.
Marc is overrated.
Because we're Jewish? Have Polish ancestry? Gonna need a little more explanation, here. BK
I know you guys are attached to Lakers by the hip. Being a Life-time Laker fan since 1965, the problem is not the coach, it's the owner who wants to make money over championships and a front office that is inept. Gone are the days of Dr. Buss, Jerry West, Pat Riley and Phil Jackson. Come on Man, Jeanie Buss, Rob Pelinka and the Rambiis, Kurt Rambis post playing career has been despicable and Jeanie trust him and his wife who is her bestie. Shit, hire Taylor Swift to be head coach, they Hollywood types will keep filling the seats and pay big money. The only way for Laker future success is for Jeanie to sale the Lakers to someone who has the money to build a championship. If Jeanie wants to save her dad's legacy sale now!
Neither Kerr or Spo had coaching experience.
Doc Rivers has tons and sucks.
Lakers are stupid picking up jj Reddick, he hasn't done shit another rookie coach,
This will end the Lakers... LeBron picks the Lakers coach😎😊😁😂🏀🏀🏀😪💯
If Reddick becomes coach im giving up my 40 years of Lakers fandom. Im already done with the Lebron experiment. Reddick would be the final straw. A damn podcaster with no coaching experience, and employed by a player on the team, disgusting.
I feel like Reddick is extension of coach K the greatest basketball coach ever
You are allowing Lebron to run the franchise to the ground. And in all these, he will never be accountable.
What’s Lebron doing? He’s on vacation not hiring any coaches
I swear you nuts learn a new word from national media and run it in the ground!! Accountable is the word for the day 😂😂😂
@dpjr6317 I don't know what you are smoking but Lebron played good this past season sir
If LeBron is running it into the ground, what was Jeannie doing when we were winning 20 games a year before he came?
You are not a smart person, I mean that sincerely
If JJ becomes coach, that's proof that they haven't learned their lesson
So sad. We couldn't wait to kick Darvin Ham to the curb due to zero head coaching experience, just to turn the reins to JJ Reddick with zero coaching experience..really?
Ham wasn’t fired because of lack of head coaching experience
@@maurice2245 he was a lead assistant coach. Darvin was labeled a rookie head coach when he took over last year, as he was well respected in the League.
Now, after talking Westbrook into coming off the bench, meshing 5 new players at trade deadline, coaching to western conference finals, and coaching through the play in tournament, he was criticized for rotations and losing locker room.
Don't have to get defensive guys,
Mark Jackson is an asinine choice. Period. A guy who has been out of coaching for 10 yrs and has been rather underwhelming doing colour commentary in broadcasting for the past 10 yrs, He comes across as worse on Xs and Os than even Darwin. That's a recipe for disaster. The difference between him and Steve Kerr was a 1st rd or 2nd rd exit team transformed into to a freaking Dynasty... With that coaching change....
So please....no Mark Jackson.. Not even an interview..!!!!!
JJ Redick is intriguing.... The Lakers most important need is a stone cold genius with Xs and Os.... Rest of the inexperience and locker room leadership gaps can and should be covered by LeBron and AD on this roster....
But yes, must have a strong and experienced coaching staff behind Redick.... That's what Steve Kerr did.... that's what Phil Jackson had when he took over the Bulls early in his tenure and we forget that's what Pop had when he inherited Duncan and Robinson team.
And let it be known that all of the above hall of fame coaches won a chip early without head coaching experience
We're not being defensive about thinking Mark Jackson isn't a good idea. We quite literally didn't defend our position. I just wanted to clarify what appeared to be a widespread misunderstanding about us laughing at Jackson, which we weren't, because it was inaccurately pissing off a lot of viewers. As long as people are clear on that one front, they can disagree with us all they want. Fine with us. AK
@@LockedOnLakers True, just because we question the coaching credentials of a person, there seems to be a direct misinterpretation that we're questioning their character... Mark Jackson, Darwin Ham, Frank Vogel are all excellent character, good guys.... Just perhaps not competent enough to coach the Lakers....
Jj coached 9 year olds. He was average at best. Now he wants to coach lebron. He should be ashamed.
Lol how do you know how well he coaches 9 year olds?
Does he know basketball or not,will he put in the work or not,will he hold players accountable or not,will players respect him or not mainly AD and Lebron
@Hy-BridAbroad He was on a podcast called Road Trippin' and he was talking about getting kicked out of a game, while coaching and he mentioned that they were 9 year olds.
Well, you have a Laker whose tantrums reminded me of a child younger than a 9year old.
