Report: Redick Still Frontrunner for Lakers Coach, and Rich Paul Says Focus on Davis, not LeBron.

- The Lakers head coaching search is going slowly, in part because the apparent frontrunner still has a gig calling games for ESPN. Reports from Shams Charania (and others) continue to put JJ Redick at the front of the line for the Lakers, even while more interviews are set to happen this week, followed by another round of more intensive interviews as June rolls around. Marc Stein reports there is even chatter around the league about who the Lakers might target to be on Redick's staff. (Hint: It includes guys who are theoretically in the running for the head gig, which feels at least potentially a little ambitious.)
Nothing, at the least, has been said/done to dispel the idea that it's Redick's job to lose. Maybe that changes as the interview pool widens. Keep an eye on what leaks -- in multiple directions -- after guys like David Adelman, Micah Nori and Chris Quinn sit down for a rap sesh with Rob Pelinka.
Meanwhile, Rich Paul is on the record saying the Lakers really should be focusing on Anthony Davis in this process, not LeBron James. Which is true - AD is going to be a Laker, almost surely, longer than James. It's also another tea leaf that points to Redick's candidacy, because Team James is going the extra mile to separate themselves from the perception that Redick would be LeBron's hire... which of course is required because people see that, you know, the guy is LeBron's podcast partner.
Finally, a report over the weekend said the Phoenix Suns plan to make a full court press on James if/when he opts out of his Lakers deal. Which he surely will. The notion of him going to Phoenix for a veteran's minimum or taxpayer midlevel (can the Suns even offer that?) or whatever is far fetched. But is it 100% guaranteed he comes back to the Lakers if he ops out?
HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
SEGMENT 1: JJ Redick is still the clubhouse leader.
SEGMENT 2: Rich Paul reiterates that LeBron isn't pulling the strings.
SEGMENT 3: We're sure LeBron returns if he opts out, right?

After Walton and Ham, why do the Lakers have confidence that they can pick someone off the street with no experience to do the job? JJ is a hire that's almost guaranteed to fail within 3 years.
Third times a charm? 😜
other candidates are not good enough, JJ on the other hand is an unknown. could be great most likely will be bad. Lakers probably think it's better to take the risk rather than settle for someone just decent.
Luke had several years of experience, and there are several successful coaches in the league that had no experience coaching.
Because JJ is significantly better than those guys.
Worked with Steve Kerr
if JJ is hired and is a complete flop i’m heavily considering that Rob is fired
I don’t understand how he still has a job
Jeanie needs to step it up too. She can veto this hiring!
Let Lebron do what he wants. Do not let his actions determine future
26:06 "It's in the 'hat family'..." 😂🤣 😂
Being a Lakers coach is one of the best jobs in the world. You work one year, get fired, and get paid still for 5 years. Who wouldn't want that?
I laughed. Very hard. AK
JJ Redick is not the coach for AD orLebron. He is the coach for the rest of the team. Lebron and AD are championship veterans, who don't need coaching. He needs to get the most out Ad, and Lebron supporting cast. This year, especially because Lebron and AD are playing in the olympics.
NYK would be an insane situation for bronny and James. Win win situation
JJ would need a heavily experienced coaching staff....
Go Lakers
I think reasons behind the Lakers FO being enamored with JJ Redick may have to do with the fact that he's yet to learn bad habits from incumbent coaches when it comes to substitution patterns (namely, robo-substitutions) and possibly not having a propensity to only put trust in older players (even though they may not be up to the task). JJ Redick has also spoken glowingly of young players like Brandon Ingram on multiple occasions (JJ Podcast 12/27/2020) and seems to have a good understanding of how to utilize his talent (see JJ Redick podcast 9/5/2023). BTW, Mike Krzyzewski's purported involvement may also point towards the Lakers FO possibly seeking a reunion with Brandon Ingram (another Duke product).
Why would a guy with experience who paid their dues respect a TV personality like JJ Redick who jumped ahead of everyone despite not working themselves up the ladder.
Lebron and Rich Paul has a stranglehold on the Lakers organization like their mobsters..
This is going to fail in the end and the Lakers are going to suffer this for years to come Doctor Buss is rolling over in his grave.
The Laker legendary mastic is gone with Lebron and company nothing can save this franchise Mrs Buss would be wise to sell the franchise.
Umm..newsflash the Lakers organization was in shambles b4 Bron or Klutch even got there. Jeanie messed up her father's legacy a long time ago...but as usual it's just easier to blame Bron & klutch right 🙄. Jeanie should've sold the team a long time ago. That organization is messed up and has been for awhile
@One_Black_Panther the 2017/18 season with a young caruso, hart, Kuz,, ball, kcp, bi and Randle was the start of something. They blew it up to get Bron and then even more to get Ad. Had they stuck with it instead of going after bron and we might have a better team now.
@@mikearrington1466 That team wasn't going anywhere. Young and promising does not equal championship caliber. None of the guys you named have gone on to become superstar players. The mistake was not moving them out for AD and LeBron, that was the right move. It was blowing up a team that you won the title with for Russell Westbrook. That team was long and athletic, defended like hell. And they blew it up because the Lakers are enamored with shiny things.
Lebron can get more money from the Lakers if he resigns. No way he signs with a team that he will not be credited if they win. It looks like Cassell and Borrego are for lead assistant options. The Lakers must interview Mark Jackson
What was Steve Kerr's coaching experience before GSW?
Gm for sun's but played under 2 best coaches ever in nba in Jackson an pop. Name coaches Reddick learned under?
@@cheetahturner4576
You can debate the nuance but you already see the point. I don't think anyone would argue that Kerr knows more or less than Reddick. They are both great.
His coaches good, bad, and mediocre were:
- Mike Krzyzewski
- Brian Hill
- Stan Van Gundy
- Jim Boylan (lol)
- Doc Rivers
- Brett Brown
- Alvin Gentry
- Rick Carlisle
I think he's a smart guy, good communicator, great insight, would need great assistant coaches.
I don't see LA working with any coach, not Kerr, Pop, Jackson, anyone, with this team as-is but I think JJ Redick would do as well as any coach on any team.
Steve Nash was a great player wtih great coaches and in end...for whatever reason, just didn't work. Game is like that.
@noahwald907 really I'm on his attitude not experience he seems to put alot people off as to smart for himself a locker room will see bs he talking
@@cheetahturner4576 Fair enough. Let's see what does or doesn't happen.
I think, this off season will be huge for pelinka, if they still struggle and unable to be in top 4-6 spot in the West and failed to even go to WCF, then it's good bye Pelinka.
Let’s see what NYK will do with the coaching staff Tim probably a good pick up, I forget how to spell but the old coach from the bucks as well I say bring jj in as a asst coach
Where is the mailbag?
Community section of the CZcams page. AK
When JJ is LeCoach he's gonna need a stretch big to play alongside AD. I could see him drawing up some nice sets for Lauri Markenan... 💯💯💯
C Wood will actually get used too, and lets hope Vando works on that corner 3 cuz we need his point of attack defense!
I cant see D Lo being on this squad next year... one way or another, and sadly Rui/AR prolly needed in any real trades. Along with all 3 firsts... we should demand Sexton back also in this deal.
Coaching is based on ownership whim times current popularity. All past coaches in Bron era except Vogel were The bright shiny thing. JJ is the guy, but will Bron be there and where is Bronny getting drafted, that’s what I’m on the edge of my seat about.
If Lakers front office let's him arm his staff guarantee he hire massive experience
The Lakers can’t draft,Develop, or choose proper coaching 😭😭
If JJ get’s the job I would seriously hire Nori,Borrego,Rondo and Jared Dudley and maybe Sam Cassel as part of his staff…
Lol
Two things:
AK said the Wolves were nutty.. and BK said, “Well they made the conference finals…” lol! Didn’t we last year? I know we hold ourselves to a higher standard, but I’m with AK.. if you’re nutty you’re nutty.
2. Why are we to assume a good assistant just doesn’t in any world want to be a good assistant in LA? Hell… the way everyone is talking about JJ, they’ll have a shot at head coach soon anyways.
Additional comment: Boston is a “great place” sure. But it’s better to some than others… take that how you will. Everyone loves LA.
No way should you give anyone more than a three year contract Coach or player
Dudley put a curse on the Lakers.
Borrego is the best option but if you like risks JJ is the choice
JJ 🎉one year
Not about Lebrun? Since when? That means he dipping out.
I can respect Ishbia tho
The grip.that clutch has over the laker s is ridiculous. LB AD and in the past all.the other players like kcp ...it's a conflict of interest to have lb signing players to a teams he's on. Others players knowing this causes issues as well, with every trade deadline that approaches lb is shipping you out..bc he needs more and more help as the years past. A max player needs an allstar team to get to the finals..hmmm
Kobe
GRINDER ....YEAH YEAH YEAH😂😂😂😂
Lebron to Suns would be a catastrophic disaster! Who will play defense???
Bronny🫣
JJ has no business being a head coach in the NBA, he wasn't in coaching.
If lakers really want JJ Redick as a HC.. Rob pelinka should surround him with assistant coaches that can help him to build more on AD & Lebron..
Best option for assistant coaches are Rajon Rondo, Phil Handy & a big man that can coach or help AD to improve his game specially on his skills & can always remind AD on what to do to help the team to win games.. Like what Mark Cuban did He a make a Legends Program which Tyson Chandler Mentor there Bigs to be better..
Hey if Lebron is foolish enough to stay in LA after Rob and Jeannie has proved that they totally incompetent to place good player's around him then he deserves to never win again.
James is leaving
Why do you think that ?
@@stanjohnson7849 …it’s just the energy behind it….Its seem like we are in for one last, “I’m taking my talents to….”
AD is a beta and klutch client. Cant fool me into anythinf LeBron is running the show. Telling Rich Paul what to say, AD what to say, and Palinka who to bring in as coach. Can't fool me. LeBron is going to get everything he wants including drafting his son.
