JJ Redick an option for Lakers coaching job?
Jovan Buha: What happens with Darin Ham? Do the Lakers end up dismissing him and moving on? How quickly do they move on another head coach, and which coaches will become candidates? A name that is interesting to me is JJ Redick, given he is one of the front runners for the Charlotte Hornets job. He seems to be the hot name on the market I think of Steve Kerr when he was picking between the Knicks and the Warriors, and I think JJ Redick, if he does not get the Hornets job or he does not choose to join the Hornets, I think he would be an interesting candidate. He’s got LA ties, he used to play for the Clippers, he used to live in LA and most importantly he has a good relationship with LeBron James given that they are currently podcast partners on the Mind the Game podcast. That would be interesting, going from podcast partners to player and coach…

My thoughts on why I think JJ Redick is too big of a risk to appoint as Head Coach for the Charlotte Hornets.

More on this storyline
Jovan Buha: Again there’s a lot of unknown factors in terms of would the Lakers have interest in JJ, would he have interest in the Lakers position knowing all that comes with it, would LeBron want him as his coach, is LeBron going to be a Laker moving forward… Before the aggregation army comes after me I’m just reading the tea leaves here and just looking at who’s the number one coach candidate on the market right now, it is JJ Redick, and if the current options are the Hornets, the Suns and the Lakers, I think it is easy to talk yourself into the Lakers being the most attractive situation. -via YouTube / April 30, 2024
