Lakers to Appoint JJ Redick as Head Coach with Veteran Support
The Los Angeles Lakers are making a bold move by hiring JJ Redick, a recently retired player turned media personality, as their new head coach.
Despite Redick’s lack of coaching experience, the Lakers are committed to surrounding him with a robust support system, including the addition of multiple former head coaches to his staff. Scott Brooks, with his extensive head coaching background, is a top candidate. The Lakers are also considering Rajon Rondo and Jared Dudley, although Dudley’s current commitment to the Dallas Mavericks following their Finals appearance may pose a challenge.
Redick’s appointment comes after a careful consultation with Lakers’ star Anthony Davis, ensuring the team’s alignment with the new coach’s vision. The Lakers are hopeful that Redick, with Davis at the helm of the roster, will lead the team to success in the coming seasons.
