I absolutely want JJ Redick to get the job just so he can get fired like everybody else..
Lmao greatest thing I read all morning
😂😂
But all 10 coaches who have been fired haven’t won a ring since so who’s the problem
@@abzda1700Lakers head coach is a different expectations!
If you can coach Lebron you can coach the whole team, JJ hasn’t done that!
Hiring JJ would allow LeBron to LeCoach.
He was coaching anyway
@@crownrolle139so he has more rings then Jordan
They’ll work together as it should be
@@maurice2245 oh that's funny!
@@hmu958 what’s funny about that can’t coach would be a fool not to take advantage of Lebron’s understanding of the game
Lebron is great but coaching him at this point is a fool's errand. Dude is uncoachable. The fallout would hurt JJ's media brand too, not worth it
JJ is an easy scapegoat for him. rookie coach - made a lot of mistakes, not Lebron's fault!
Would you want darvin ham coaching your fav team?
LOL, "great"? As a clown?
I agree with your sentiment, but I would not put him into great category. Greatness comes from working together with an organization and coaching. All of the greatest players in the world in the NBA was elevated to greatness by coaching. For me, LeBron James is the top of very good.
Being very good in so far as he has only won championships with the greatest coaches of his time. His being uncatchable should be a serious discussion point but due to his savvy manipulation of the media and literal collusion with his organization working influencing peddling with the NBA prevents such wide base discussion. At least, the media Talking Heads know not to talk about it.
Even the player I consider as the greatest human who ever played basketball in Wilt Chamberlain did not reach greatness all by himself and had to work within two great coaching season to get his championships in 67 and 72.
All 10 of his previous coaches have 0 rings without him Spo had 12 years to coach a championship still ain’t won
if JJ Redick become the Lakers coach, Bronny will play 30+ min every game. JJ will be just a puppet of Lebron.
Exactly
Its Coach. Not GM. Coaches dont draft players
@@umbreonpokemon8190 He didn't say JJ would draft Bronny. People in the media (and fans) are just assuming that Lebron will use his powers of persuasion to get his son drafted by the Lakers and also get JJ to be the coach. Two separate things.
@@umbreonpokemon8190 I didn’t say jj will draft bronny. Lakers will. And if Lakers take JJ as the coach, Lebron will use his influence to give Bronny play time.
The problem would be the *second JJ Reddick actually has to do his job instead of just what LeBron wants to do, and that bromance would die on the vine.
Next season is going to be the same or worse in LA. Guaranteed!
How come no one is talking about Mark Jackson is the hate that real
Not the brightest coach tbh.
He is has been
@@YoungMaster_626 defensively ye. things he says on tv on the game r concerning ( i forgot what he said) but it left with this impression
cause Mark won't kowtow to Lebron
Mark Jackson would be worse than Darwin Ham
Hi Colin, how about make a James Borrego podcast? To open the minds of the people about him. I don’t like how people are treating him. He overcame obstacles with Hornets.
JJ could never be a coach. Despite being well respected and being an incredibly known person in the league for his savvy, he wore a hat backwards on a podcast. Come on now, a backwards hat?!
he needs to grow up a little. he's not ready to be a head coach. maybe an assistant
Really....a backward hat is the reason for rejection???.... Dude...😂
Nice job using Colin’s own takes against the hire. I cracked up at this.
@@Murali_bala13Colin used this exact take as to why Purdue wasn’t a good leader for the 49ers
@@Murali_bala13 It’s a joke from a previous take he had hahah.
Talk to Nash about taking on the challenge of an arrogant superstar as a first year NBA coach....
Jason why can't you apply for the lakers coaching position? Are you not old enough ?
Watching from Guam 🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺
If this guy says its a bad idea.....it means its a great idea. Lakers hire JJ now!
TBH I don't think LeBron would respect JJ. They are friendly doing a podcast, but JJ was a role player who had one-move: shoot the corner 3. He was fantastic at it. He couldn't defend, small hands, t-rex arms, and had no moves. I don't think JJ would stand up to LeBron...he'd be afraid of him.
What does that have to do with coaching? Most of the best NBA coaches were role players. Some of them never played in the NBA…Spoelstra, Chuck Daly, Popovich, Mike Malone, Frank Vogel, Mike Budenholzer, Nick Nurse to name a few (14 rings). Some of the data shows that, superstar players, historically don’t always make the best coaches. Of course, Bird, Kidd maybe Doc (questionable), had success, but Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, KC Jones, Steve Kerr were all role players. Count the rings during their coaching tenure (23).
Those coaches Have won 36 of the last 43 Championships.
The Lakers know how they need to win. Rebound, Defense and Limit the turnovers. If JJ can show them data that proves this is how they win, it could work out.
You had me at trex arms. I laugh out my latte
Darvin ham didn’t stand up to Lebron
JJ should hope they don't offer him the job, because he can't reject working with Lebron as coach, and then do a Podcast with him. But he also takes the job and fails (very likely) then Lebron will grow to hate him and not do the Podcast anyhow. JJ should have taken a lesser team job to really see if he could be good at coaching
Put Jason on ESPN sheesh this dude's got great takes
JJ will be 2nd to Westbrick as the worst move in recent Lakers' history.
I don't know about the Lakers, as a Bucks fan I'd take JJ over Doc in an instant.
He should start as an assistant coach like every other great coach has. If he can’t start as an assistant he shouldn’t be hired as a head coach. J Kidd is flourishing now AFTER he left the bucks job and assisted under a head coach at the Lakers.
I wish AD would focus on providing more assists. Points and rebounds are not enough. I want AD to control from the center like Jokic - with assists, points and rebounds.
Y’all second guess too much. It’s obvious JJ isn’t a good decision.
That’s the smartest guy I’ve heard on CZcams In awhile
i thought they were talking about jj mccarthy
When is this NBA sitcom gone stop JJ Reddick lol smh I know Anthony Davis saying when is this dude gone get out the way
The Lakers are not a experimental organization. They are a tried and true organization with coaches and players. They will trade for a superstar in a heartbeat. Going with JJ makes no sense.
Wow can we have some realistic sporting news out in the world or simple integrity, Lebron James is and has been for several years now a legit coach killer. It doesn't matter who the Lakers Coach is , if Lebron James the narcissist is on the team and upon failure, he will not take accountability and will throw the coach and teammates under the bus.
dan quinn also wear backwards hat colin he just got a hc job
you can’t lean on AD every game to be the best offensive and defensive option. Need an elite big to allow AD to focus energy on O
Sam Cassell. Should be the new Lakers coach. A million reasons why he’d be a really good hire for both now & after Lebron is done.
Darvin Ham was supposed to be the guy to hold the team accountable but to be fair, LBJ basketball IQ will over trump anyone that’s the hc imo. Not all of them
Hold accountable all he did was make excuses he never once called anyone out
Ham was ok til everyone on the team realized he didn’t know what he was doing and then he lost the trust of everyone,elites don’t have tolerance for incompetence
Lakers is a tough market & organization to be a head coach to be fair
Everyone forgets Steve Kerr?? He was in the EXACT same position.
He had been an executive for the Suns so not exactly the same
Kerr was on championship team after the championship team under Phil and Pop. Played with champions and had Pop and Phill as his mentors. How is JJ on that same level. You should delete your account
Just be the playing coach and GM, you're already the invisible GM anyway!
Collin please! Coach JJ is the only one we want. JB & Lebron would love love
“Coach JJ = Bad idea” is exactly why the Lakers are gonna do it
I wouldn't mind if they hire Frank Vogel back as he won them a championship before Westbrook cost him his job
They don’t need to choose a coach based off of trying to win a championship, right now for the sake of LeBron’s final years. The Lakers aren’t winning a championship anytime soon but they can hire a coach that can establish a culture over time ala Coach Spo.
Please don’t run the same 5 out offense that Ham ran !! Hire JJ damn it
J. Bilas & Johnny Dawkins were COACH K's actual assistants at Duke University.
JJ was only a good perimeter shooter.
I think if anyone can figure it out and get the system for them right it’s probably JJ. I don’t think it’s gonna be just another coach because you need someone with some respect in that locker room
Dude you just said he’d be an exec or coach and you think it’s a good idea literally last week
lol typical colin cowherd. Thats why I stopped listening to him years ago. He flip flops literally every week
Lol refusing to just say Bron's stat padding
How the hell do you have coaching talent having never held a coaching job.
The problem with jj is LBJ IS PICKING HIM AN THEY HAVE A PODCAST TOGETHER AN LBJ ONLY GOING TO PLAY 2YEARS LEFT AN WHAT ABOUT AD DO HE GET A SAY IN IT
I really think the Lakers should look to the AAU system for the next coach. AAU is all about NO DEFENSE, FLASHY HANDLES, HIGH-FLYING DUNKS, FELXING AFTER EVERY PLAY, GENERATING INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS, NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR STAR PLAYERS, NO ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ROLE PLAYERS, INFLATED EGO...
Oh wait, that's the NBA.
Why not hire Arenas for the job? He seems to know the resolution for every problem facing a team on any given night and the NBA at large. Imagine those post-game media sessions- it would be straight fire!
Kerr, Jackson, Popovich, Riley were all assistant coaches before they went on to have HOF coaching careers. I feel like there is something to be said for experience. Regardless of talent and intelligence, people need experience on the job.
He say lebron and anchor.amd defense?😅
dont do it JJ
It’s gonna be like Steve nash
Here’s the thing who is on his staff. Who is even available. We said the same with Darvin and he didn’t have a great staff.
JJ and Lebron would hate each other lol
It's no risk for Lebron actually. If they succeed, then Lebron's gonna get all the credit for winning despite having a rookie coach. If they fail, the JJ will get all the blame for being a rookie coach. It's a win-win for Lebron.
3 and D guys and a shooting big man. Both stars are just OK shooters
the lakers aren't thinking about winning, they are just thinking about pleasing LeBron
Usually ended up winning like when they got him Davis
The Lakers won when no one else wanted to play (2020) they got to the WCF last year but these young teams are only getting better. I know Lebron is still really good but idk there is a negative playing with him and at some point I don’t know when it’s worth it
Wow your friend knows basketball
Since Colin says it's a bad idea....it must be the best idea for the Lakers.... That's how wrong Colin usually is....😂
Oh look. A klutch sports informercial for JJ.😂😂
I understand him having no experience as a head coach or even a assistant coach is 100% definitely a legitimate concern. However i think the one thing JJ has that the other candidates don't have is Lebron's full respect. JJ would not hesitate to call Lebron or AD out or look any player in there face and get on them if needed. He's a former player, crazy high basketball IQ and having Brons respect is huge. The team will want to follow him. Ham could not yell in someone like Lebron's face. I have no doubt that Reddick would hold every player accountable and Bron would have no issue with it.
Also Reddick being young and again the crazy high IQ, well respected someone who could be a coach in league 20+ years. I see a lot of similarities between him and Steve Kerr and i think Reddick would be a great coach.
Chris Quinn, David Adelman, Micah Nori are the other candidates i would strongly consider if they don't hire Reddick
JJ is actually extremely accountable and says whatever he wants no matter if it "hurts someone's ego". He's done this on ESPN and other interviews. Calls out Stephen A and if you remember he called out Kendrick Perkins for his trash take on the Jokic MVP last year, Perkins saying the voters were racist and JJ straight up yelled at him for saying that. He's done it straight to LeBron on their podcast as well. He made fun of LeBron for complaining about no foul calls, so if he can call out LeBron he can call out anybody.
Lakers higher JJ redick they can go kick rocks.
Laker coach JJ will fire up the ratings and a losing season.
We all know who is the REAL Coach
Sam Cassell 👍👍👍👍👍
I think the Lakers are in deep doo doo if they sign Lebron to 150milllion/3yrs. I suppose giving Bronny a roster spot isn't that big of a deal. Maybe he would be the rare outcast who elevates his level playing with Lebron. But let's be real. Lebron has been a super demonstrative teammate the past few years. When things aren't going perfect, he lets the whole world know. He lost confidence in his coach, im his teammates and they all felt that. The pressure, the scrutiny. It didn't help his cause. Lebron needs to be a better leader and actually bring the team together. I cant see AD being as healthy as he was this season. If he plays 65 games next season id be shocked. And LaBron will be around the same number. They need an experienced coach like Byron Scott, Marc Jackson...someone Lebron will respect and someone who won't let Lebron undercut them. He doesn't get to decide how many minutes he plays so he can get his damn stats. They need his ass fresh for the playoffs. Hiring JJ for me, means they miss the playoffs. I don't see that working out too well.
Backwards hat+head coach=bad idea
jj was a door bell as a player and he will be a door mat as a coach
Everyone doesn’t resonate with Lebron. This has the potential to have the opposite impact.
He's a bad idea for the league....
You start on the bench behind other assistant coaches...
JJ is not a risk
It’s funny this guy mentioned JJ Radick coming in with LeBron and identifying the teams problem/weakness.
The first of which you would have an inexperienced head coach then the second would be your second best player is 40 years old and he’s calling all the shots and playing no defense when he’s on the court. As previously mentioned 40 years old. He’s not worthy of a max deal. He’s not worthy of an extension. This time is done.
And as for drafting his son, the nepotism shouldn’t be this obvious. Secondly his son average less than 10 points a game. He’s only 6‘1“ tall. Those type of players are a dime a dozen, and he’s had heart problems, not even two years ago. I’d be worried of that.
For those of us that remember Reggie, Louis and Hank gathers.
So a rookie coach one of the premier franchises and all of sports as his first job where do you go from there?
They already tried this with Luke Walton !!
I'd love to know why luke walton, steve nash, and jj reddick get these hc jobs with zero qualifications.
Lebron wants to run everything in Lakers, he only need a fallguy when things go south.
If they hire Reddick I'm selling my 40+ years of Lakers fandom on ebay. They both ignored all the coaches who have been successful all have assistant coaching experience, not a boring podcast. No not all the players will be with it as long as Lebron is cool. Experience is what they need. They need Mark Jackson but whatever, Lebron and Dlo aren't ready for that type of accountability. That's a shame, Lebron gonna be in his 22nd year and hasn't seen that kind of accountability since Ty Lue, and before that Riley, and before that Silas. I hoped Lebron would retire but since he won't at least make sure Klutch sports hasn't totally taken over the franchise by hiring Reddick.
Lebron should opt out and sign a bargain for someone and win 3 more rings 😂
i have another coach jay wright
Rephrase: lakers is a risk to its next coach
I don't care if JJ coaches the Lakers or not, but I think if he is a top candidate for the job, then the Lakers either don't value the importance of a head coach (because it really would be hiring a guy off the street) - or they fired the last guy without any clear direction on who the next guy would be. Neither direction speaks well to the leadership or the overall vision in the organization. JJ being hired by a team in the lower third of the league makes more sense than one that has superstars on the roster that have been sending the message that they are trying to win now.
100%. At one point Colin's guest says something to the effect of, "Look, Darvin Ham learned on the job too…" Yeah - and he got fired after two seasons. You can learn on the job with a lousy team in a small market. Not on the Lakers.
@user-qp6wm4bg1i Yeah, it just seems like an unnecessary gamble on a developmental head coach, when the Lakers and LeBron could probably attract just about anyone that is available.
Yep, and even look at Steve Nash as a good comp. While BK isn’t a small market, smaller following and still got canned. It’s the way of the NBA now.
I can't believe this is a real thing. Embarrassing.
Lebron could’ve averaged 10-12 more
Points. Nonsense!
Very bad idea
Lakers do not like to pay coaches. If lebron wants jj the jj will be coach
The only person who can coach lebron is himself.
LeBron will push him under bus as usual when the Lakers get knocked out early
JJ is the latest DEI hire this has to stop 🛑 Blah blah blah for 4 minutes just be honest too many people tip toeing around JJ he is a lightweight and would never be given this opportunity based on merit
No respectable coach or serious assistant would want the job unless they want a pay day as they'll probably get fired after year 2
Might as well hire JJ , its a clown show and he's what they can get. Coach isn't the problem, its a bad roster.
true. they aren't going to win no matter who they get, so might as well make LeBron happy.
tell me one thing darvin ham did well and brought to the lakers. its weird to me that everyone can identify darvin as a scapegoat but nobody seems to be able to point out what it is that makes him so good
roster is decent, is the "system" because lebron wants the ball, wants them to run plays so he can run to the basket. when lebron didnt play, AD, Dlo and austin were great together
The lakers are a bad spot for him to start his career. The lakers aren’t gonna compete for years and that’s even if LeBron doesn’t regress and Davis stays healthy, which LeBron is 40 as everyone knows.
Their is not a caoch on this planet that can hold lebron accountable.
If JJ wants and takes the job, he's probably going to end the season with a head full of grey hair.
Who is this guy wit all these excuses my goodness lol
Excuses for what
@@maurice2245 why they lost its the coach it's this it's that
@@thetruth3732 well it’s a a reason for everything he’s supposed to say what he saw just cause people like you are to ignorant to understand everything he’s saying doesn’t mean he’s making excuses because the team ultimately hired the coach and signed the players
2 years to make perfect decisions, lebron not accepting just anything
Lebron wants someone he can control
Rondo>Reddick
Lebum needs to retire along with his corny fans😂😂😂😂
Only a weak owner like Jeannie Buss would even entertain idea of hiring JJ.
PLEASE HIRE JJ REDDICK LAKERS! I swear next year will be so amazing to watch if the Lakers do this I think even better then the Westbrook season!!!!
Have no doubts. If JJ is the coach, it is Lebron coaching not actually JJ. Loser decision by the org. Lebron needs someone that makes him actually play defense and stop whining.
Lakers are stuck no good coaches a available
Why not just get Lebron off the team? That solves a chunk of the problems, no coach problem, no blame game, no "Lakers need to do this", no Bronny problem, no jj question, more cap space, brighter future
Lebron isn’t a “little selfish”, he’s very selfish
Bruh look who lebron has won with at coach, this is fake outrage. Lue has been choking his ass of on the clippers, last laker coach just got fired from the suns after losing in the first round with a big 3 and he won a ring with lebron. Lebron got mike Williams to the finals and kobe hated that man when he coached the lakers. It doesn’t matter if they hire jj because if lebron is on the team healthy they will make the playoffs. They can fire as soon as lebron retires, this isnt the nfl where coaches matter the most. Jj just has to know how to call a damn timeout the end
Im gonna say bulls**...Lebron buys into coaches just until everything doesnt go well and he begins to pout and be passive/agressive. We have seen this BS a million times with him, and Reddick is no damn different
1st?
