When JJ retired from basketball he said it was because he "wanted to spend more time with his family". Then he started 3 podcasts, got a talking head job at ESPN and now flies around the country broadcasting games.
Money talks louder
Nah. Both sides likely realised that too much of each other is a bad thing
He’s a pro athlete.they are obsessive people, only way you train 24/7…
Much of which can be done from home…so he has the opportunity to spend far more time with them. He didn’t say I want to stare at my wife/kids all day for the rest of time. Also, priorities aren’t static…they change constantly based on a variety of factors. When retiring it’s quite likely he was keenly aware of how much he’d missed family wise, now that he’s been more immersed it’s less of a concern. Finally these dudes tend to be hyper competitive….they’ve defined 25-35 years of their life by competing on the highest level and doing everything that entails. Then they take a break and they miss it so they look for the next outlet. The implication that somehow JJ was lying is completely ridiculous. If some 8 year old says they want to be a firefighter do you call them out when they’re an accountant at 40?
@@jackjackthompson5771that and millions of dollars. Athletes are jones
He can bring Shannon Sharpe, Kendrick Perkins, Nick Wright and Gilbert Arenas as his assistants on his coaching staff. LOL.
Rajon Rondo 💜💛💜💛
he's already on the klutch payroll, might as well add another job title
LeBron is the greatest of all time.....at getting coaches fired.
The Lakers fired Phil Jackson. Stop hating.
If Magic Johnson as the vice president in the basketball operations for the Lakers could not choose the head coach obviously LeBron can’t choose the head coach for the Lakers.
LeBron did not want to play for Luke Walton, Frank Vogel, Darvin Ham. He did not choose these men.
LeBron needs to go to Dallas, San Antonio, or back to Cleveland.
LeBron asked them to acquire Kyrie Irving. They did not. LeBron asked him to hold onto to Rondo and Dwight Howard, they did not. He needs to leave, they are not going to aquire his son whom he wants to play along side. Magic Johnson told us all who Rob Pelinka is.
Ham didn't take the Lakers to the WCF last year. The players acquired in the mid season trade did. Just look at his record before. 😆
My son went to Wake Forest when JJ Redick was at Duke. I hated him more than any player alive. But listening to him on TV I’ve completely lost my hate for the guy. He’s smart, has great insights and is pleasant to listen to. It would be a shame to lose him in the broadcast booth.
Steve Nash only failed in Brooklyn because of the personnel. James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant. Anyone who blames Nash must be delusional if they watched games and/or followed the Nets' news and season while he was there. Just since it came up ...
I think, they should make Lebron player coach like Bill Russell did. Then see who they blame when he loses.
Steve Balmer can pay more for Tyronn Lue than any other team
Lakers and Suns aren’t losing due to coaching. It’s incompetence from management and ownership plain and simple.
Jay Mohr is available. Did you see him in Jerry Maguire?
True
As JJ likes to always take the players' points of view, let him be a head coach, and see if that's how he still take that perspective...
As a Celtics fan, I hope they hire JJ Reddick as their coach, use a draft pick, preferably a 1st round ond to draft Bronny and resign Lebron to a 3yr max 😂😂😂
I hope the Fraudtics never win another championship again! 1 championship in almost 40 years 😂😂😂😂😂
He could do it. If he gets fired he could always come back to media anyway
Damn, Bron got another one! 💀
He still has gone thru as many coaches as Kobe

@@rashardstallworth9240 Exactly. These folks want to blame the players and absolve upper management. That’s crazy
As a Dubs fan, don’t do it JJ! The media gigs you got are SO much better than sitting on any bench! Trust! ❤
Well even if he fails miserably he can still get all of his media jobs back because the two don't tided together at all, how many fail coaches keep getting media jobs, JJ has nothing to lose at this point, he will gain tons of experience and exposure, he will be more in demands after coaching the Lakers.
Brilliant.
Kobe was labeled a coach killer 😳
Hey Rich, if you think that's brutal what is going on with NFL Network and ESPN? Your move.
J.J. is good at taking basketball perimeter shots & talking tbe talk.
Note Jay Bilas & Johnny Dawkins were Coach K's assistants at Duke University.
Slick, smart and charismatic. 10k suit, slicked hair, Italian made shoes and a Rolex.
Is there any other place he should be than Lakers head coach?
Has sold out written all over the script.
The Rondo mention would be interesting & more likely than JJ
Steve Nash? And where is he now? haha smh
Darvin Ham is a great assistant coach.
He would get a whole world of new content
They got all they could handle from the Lakers? Is Rich on the Lakers payroll or something? Denver beat the Lakers 11 games in a row and the Lakers won exactly 1 playoff game against Denver in two years. The media just loves the Lakers for some reason.
I like JJ. The NBA is the only league where you can hire a coach who has 0 real high level coaching experience and the media acts like it completely rationale. Imagine this in the NFL.
If JJ were to coach, it would be an East Coast team. He's from Brooklyn
He's technically the coach and gm
Maybe for 30-40 mil guaranteed- he can always cone back to media
Bron didn’t pick ANY OF THESE COACHES. He asked for Tye Lue when he got to the Lakers. They told him NO ! And thats was the last coach he recommend. Yall always lying 😂
25 Coaches since they moved to Los Angeles and recently they have gone into overdrive at firing coaches every two to three years And make no mistake LA can't pay a coach big enough money to get the big names
I don’t think anyone in their right mind would go there
Nothing against J.J. but has he even been an assistant coach before?
Ham Sandwich 🥪 got fired?
JJ: "Thanks but no thanks"
i think the fact the lakers could have won but didnt actually was the reason he got fired
If you think ham was a good coach and did a good job , then you obviously aren’t a lakers fan and obviously don’t watch them every night . Because most lakers fans online have been calling for him to be fired since last year .
Reddick needs a new career, so yes, Coach the Lakers.
Maybe Bill Belichek should coach the Lakers.
I think he's too smart to go to that Lakers situation, but I could see him going to another, younger team.
Why would Lakers hire a Kobe hater?
Steve Nash? He was never a Lakers coach.
If Magic Johnson as the vice president in the basketball operations for the Lakers could not choose the head coach obviously LeBron can’t choose the head coach for the Lakers.

Won’t surprise me if it’s Reddick. Lakers is working to get Bronny behind the scenes. So the question that lies is did they fire Ham to bring in security for Bronny’s LA Legacy? Remember, Bron started at Cleveland and LA is where Bronny is starting his legacy….
So by having JJ as Bronny’s 1st HC it would bring in a good coach for Bronny’s Generation from the place of coaching and communication.
Wow...
I heard JJ has some allegations coming 👀
LeBron should just pull a Bill Russell and coach the team himself at this point
Was that the coach or GM that decided not to make deals at the deadline?
Facts
Yeah if JJ wants to get fired. When it comes to Lebron, if you’re hired to be his coach you’re hired to be fired.
There is only one person on the planet who can adequately coach LeBron according to his standards, and that man is LeBron James. Make him a player/coach. Bill Russell did it, and won a championship. Let's see how good LeBron really is.
LeBron was drafted BEFORE JJ Reddick.
He can always comes back to broadcasting if coaching doesn't work. But it's not everyday you get to coach LeBron James. Dude, imagine all the stories he can tell from coaching LeBron until he retires.
In season tourney banner😂😂😂😂😂. If Minnesota keeps pounding Denver. May/may not happen. But if Denver loses in a gentleman’s sweep also … Does that make the loss to Denver … look
Worse for LBJ and the lakers ??😮
The hard gig isn’t being Lakers head coach, it’s being Lebrons head coach
i knew dravin ham would be fired
If LBJ can choose, TY lue would be the one last time. Come on! Stop!
I know the Hornets have been one of the worst franchisees in the nba for a while but wouldn't it still be a better option for JJ Redick? An exciting rookie in Brandon Miller and no pressure to win any time soon so plenty of time to learn the ropes of the job for a year and build up. The Lakers are under the most pressure because of Lebron and the media. It's a win now team and if you don't you get fired.
The Lakers fired Phil Jackson. What they’re doing now has nothing to do with LeBron choosing a coach.
If Magic Johnson as the vice president in the basketball operations for the Lakers could not choose the head coach obviously LeBron can’t choose the head coach for the Lakers.

@@rashardstallworth9240 Rob Pelinka assembled the 2020 championship team so you can't say that he doesn't know what he's doing.
Lebron only had 3 head coaches as a laker bruh.
The future new scapegoat of lj.
JJ does not have any experience as a coach. Just having knowledge and mind for the game does not mean coach will be successful. Ty Lue is not coming and clippers won't let him go. And now matter which coach Lakers hire, with the incompatible role player and roster around Lebron and AD, it is not going to solve the issue. Pelinka is and has been the main issue.
So Lebron will be on his fourth coach in 7 years? Who would have thought that?
Seriously, wtf does Redick know about coaching?
Good riddance of LeBalco James.
NBA been rigging games for LeBalco for 2 seasons now with that insane free throw disparity.
Darvin Ham is the newest scapegoat baby.
LeBalco has fired more coaches than he has championships!!

If JJ gets hired the Lakers Front Office is a complete clown show. Lol why dont you bring Shannon Sharpe and Nick wright and Gilbert Arenas as assistant coaches 😂😂
Magic was labeled a coach k!LL3r - Old Man LaDiva is not above reproach
This is Lebron again. Clutch sports wants JJ
Look at how many coaches lebron has been through …..
Flourishing?
JJ would be making the biggest mistake of his career/life going to the Lakers.
His entire reputation would be destroyed by the media. The media NEEDS him to leave and go to the Lakers.
JJ has shown how Illiterate fools are running propaganda and shtty naratives to benefit their greed.
JJ has brought back the real love of sports to all of us. I loved basketball as a kid and watched the media destroy it, like how they burned down KD when he went to the GSW.
Everyday it was perpetual naratives saying how sorry and pathetic KD was. Now he left and he one of the greatest again. What a load of BS.
No way l.a. would make jj their coach
Yeah I feel terrible for the guy making $10 million over the next two years to watch games from his couch. I feel so awful for him in fact if I could trade places with him, I would.
From his yacht….but still, people have egos…money doesn’t replace everything but i feel ya
@@jackjackthompson5771 ya I’m sure having your pic plastered everywhere with the word fired stamped across forehead isn’t the best feeling in the world
What did JJ redick win?????????????????????????
A young white barely retired player who's had no coaching experience being the Lakers coach let alone any head coach would cause so much backlash, but it lebron's pick so it's ok.
Will they just hire Mark Jackson already. Hasn't he been blackballed long enough. He took an 18 win team to 50 wins and hasn't gotten 1 bite...
Maybe he's too competent, and would actually expect to coach and not be Lebron's next fall guy? I can't imagine Lebron would be down with that.
JJ is great on the mic He can comeback to the media whenever he wants.
If his dream is to coach he has to take that job.
He needs to coach a young team who will respect him .. he won’t get that in lakers land….
Tbh I think the only reason they are considering jj is because players respect his view of basketball. It’s certainly not because of his past coaching record lol, that doesn’t exist. You got to have some serious respect by your peers to be hired without a resume.
I have no problem with J.J....always liked him? But this was obviosly a pre-meditated move from LBJ from the beginning? He recruits people that he considers "friends" instead of the qualified? Its the same thing when LBJ was piecing players up to play along side with him from various teams (CAVs, Heat, Lakers) and as soon as things didn't go well with fellow teammates, LBJ would turn on them then have them traded? This is a pattern here that he continues to live by....which always ends up in a detrimental situation for the opposition? Why does the league continue to give LBJ such power to make crucial decisions that always ends up messy and unsuccessful? I thought professional sports was about hiring the best, qualified people for the job, not "podcast buddies"?
It's not Ham's fault LeBron is a lousy GM...
Nah he shouldn’t
y'all will imply ANYTHING to blame lebron lol.. nothing new.
Bron been holding my Lakers hostage! smh 🤦🏽♂️
Held my Cavs hostage too. Don’t worry it’s almost over.
@@user-hh6pb7ct5s knowing the Lakers they’ll let LeGm bring in Bronny too lol smh

@@user-hh6pb7ct5s4 NBA finals in a row and a championship.
LeBron had no power in Cleveland. He left the first time because one of the players was dating his relative and they refused to trade the player. He left the second time because he begged him to keep Kyrie Irving, but they traded him anyway. So, what power did he have? LeBron also begged them not to fire Mike Brown, but they did.
if you think these billionaires are going to allow the players to tell them what to do and you have a lot to learn about business.
If that was the case, LeBron would’ve never played for Luke Walton, or Frank Vogel or Darvin him because he didn’t want any of them to coach him
LeBron always needs a fall guy . Everywhere he goes
If the Lakers hire JJ, that will be a total humiliation on Jeannie and Pelinka for being controlled by Lebron. I hope she has some pride and don't do that.

JJ will fail gloriously for sure and make Luke Walton look like Phil Jackson.
It's not Ham's fault Lebron is a lousy GM...
Rondo
If the players that make tens of millions dollars and can't win should be held accountable! Firing the coach is the wimps way out!
That is because you don’t understand the game. The players do not assemble the team, the general manager does for the vice president of basketball operations does. They are all great players, but that doesn’t mean that they go together as a team. Then, each coach has their own coaching style, and they have to have players that fit their system.
For example, James Harden and Russell Westbrook play better under a Billy Donovan or Scott Brooks or Mike DAntoni type of system based on speed. Warriors, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George played better in a grit and grind type of system like Greg Popivich or Frank Vogel
Lose-lose if he goes to the Lakers to coach. First off, the Lakers suck. Their two players were relevant 10 years ago and the pay, compared to his podcast's trajectory, it is NOTHING. Coaching? Now he has a schedule of travel (which he lived thru) that is awful, and... why? Like why? Prove that he can get crushed in a spending free-for-all teams going all-in for one season instead of building a frachise? ... If he does, he is so arrogant that I'd feel honestly bad if I didn't post for him to absolutely not do that...
If the Lakers hire him as a coach, the Lakers will never win another championship. JJ is not coach material, never has been never will be.
Lebron looking for a puppet in case something happens he can throw JJ under the bus and not take any of the blame. will never ever be the goat no matter how many times he sits on top of the record books he top 20 will give him that, but there are 9 players better then him
JJ the Plumber, CZcamsr, TikTaker and LeBron’s ball boy doesn’t know anything about coaching but I think it will make great comedy.
LeBron James - the greatest monetary waste of all-time...
The only thing worse than a hater is a dumb hater !
If they hired a talking donkey like JJReddick (emphasis on the last 4 letters of his last name) as the next Lakers coach just because he's Lebron's holster, I'm done being a Lakers fan after 44 years. In retrospect, after Lebron very publicly pulled his strange jumping toddler tantrums because Ham didn't challenge a loose ball call, he was essentially done as the Lakers coach. Perhaps only if the Lakers beat the Nuggets could he save his job. In the Lebron era, being the Lakers coach has been the worst job in the NBA.
I left being a lakers fan after Lebum signed with them and I have not watched the NBA in almost 10 years I would not blame. You should also be aware they may draft brony James
Lebron you will never be the goat
Ty lue sucks what has he won without lebron
Lebron loses and it’s the coaches fault. Always. Dude is a fraud.
Duh
