Lakers formally interview JJ Redick
The Lakers hosted former player and current broadcaster JJ Redick on Saturday in their most formal interview with him to date, with multiple members of the organization speaking to the former Duke star about the team’s head-coaching vacancy. The step is an important one for Redick, who has been a central figure in the team’s coaching search as an external favorite, a presumed frontrunner after initial contact at the NBA draft combine and now as potentially the final candidate to meet with executive vice president and general manager Rob Pelinka, owner Jeanie Buss and other key Lakers figures.

James Borrego is “gaining traction” to become the Cavaliers’ next head coach, per @wojespn (espn.com/nba/story/_/id…).
Borrego landing in Cleveland, while JJ Redick secures the Lakers’ gig is the likely result.

More on this storyline
Despite internal pushback the Lakers were conducting an open and wide-ranging search, rival NBA executives repeatedly linked the Lakers to Redick. The team’s pursuit of Hurley, in part, showed that the Lakers’ search extended beyond the known candidates. -via Los Angeles Times / June 16, 2024
JJ Redick would appear (stress: appear) to have reclaimed his previous standing as the favorite to land the Los Angeles Lakers’ coaching job — assuming he wants it — in the wake of Dan Hurley’s decision to stay at UConn. As one source close to the process put it to me Friday: “You know who is getting the job.” -via marcstein.substack.com / June 15, 2024
