Lakers’ Coaching Search Heats Up
The Los Angeles Lakers are actively seeking a new head coach, with JJ Redick emerging as the top contender for the role. Redick’s deep basketball knowledge and connection with LeBron James through their podcast make him a strong candidate.
While Redick is still under contract with ESPN, the Lakers are exploring options for their coaching staff. Experienced coach Scott Brooks and former Lakers guard Rajon Rondo are among the names being discussed. Rondo’s championship history with the team and rapport with key players like Anthony Davis and James could be advantageous.
Other notable figures such as Sam Cassell, James Borrego, and Jared Dudley are in the mix for potential roles within the coaching staff. Cassell and Borrego were initially considered for the head coach position, while Dudley is currently an assistant with the Mavericks. The Lakers’ decision on their next head coach and staff is anticipated post-NBA Finals, with Redick likely at the helm.
