Going from former player to podcast co-host to head coach of the Lakers sounds like a storyline 2K would make

[@gilolaes4725]

JJ Reddick going from 0 coaching experience to being the head coach for a team that presumably has playoff aspirations is...a choice.

[@jaysonmagro9131]

Can you think of other examples of this happening? Of the top of my head- Derek Fisher, Chauncey Billups, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash. I think Doc Rivers didn't have much of any experience when was hired in Orlando. Any other examples you can think of?

[@jaysonmagro9131]

I put some more thought into it...of course, Steve Kerr was hired with no coaching experience and he was the most successful of anyone I mentioned. Although, Kerr did have experience as an executive with Phoenix. Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Isiah Thomas each had no coaching experience either when they were hired as head coaches.

I'm starting to think this draft is getting underrated. Even though it doesn't look like there's much star potential in it there's quite a few good shooters, a good amount of guys that look NBA ready (as a role player) and a lot of raw prospects who given the right environment could develop really well.

The Jeff Green highlight dunks are really throwing me off. Why is the 50 year old man hitting baseline reverse dunks?

[@mtprice2099]

Because there’s players with way better highlight than start players like (lebron) but they’ll never get credit….

[@nycnow811]

How is Doc Rivers still getting jobs?!

[@brandonryce6801]

That's what I was thinking when the bucks hired him. Look, as a Celtics fan that makes me happy. But as a basketball fan, they were better off sticking to what they had than to move forward with doc as the new head coach

[@darthkobe73]

[@blablablaa14]

The problem for the Rockets/Nets trade is that Mikel is not resigning with either team. He wants to go to NY, it makes the most sense that he just walks there, which makes his value much lower

[@DaffyTaffy93]

Rockets don’t trade those picks back for bridges that’s not worth it

[@billy306]

Sources said today Hurley from UConn is their number one candidate

[@logotv7840]

Dan Hurley is probably the lakers next head Coach

[@hunterking6033]

I've been hearing guys talk about this draft being like if a normal draft started at pick 4 or even 8.

[@KLOTALKS]

People are going too far with it, it’s a pretty deep draft but it is defo not top heavy, for example Alex Sarr who’ll go 1, would probably have gone 4 last year

[@Twisterfrfr]

I'm glad that I got the privilege of watching Uncle Jeff Green postorize the NBA for about 6 minutes straight

[@coachvarnado216]

If the Lakers were a rebuilding team and they hired JJ Redick, there wouldn't be as much scrutiny about the hire. It makes sense for a rebuilding team to take a flyer on a first-time head coach. But for a team with championship aspirations, it makes less sense to hire a coach with no head coaching experience, no assistant coaching experience, no front office experience, nothing. If you are aspiring to win a title you would think that you would want someone who has at least some experience at one of those levels. Even recent first-time head coaches such as Steve Kerr, Tyronn Lue, and Nick Nurse who all had immediate success had experienced at least one of those levels. And even then we have seen situations like that fail, such as David Blatt, Mark Jackson, or Adrian Griffin. I believe JJ Redick could be a very good coach in the future, but I would like to see him gain assistant coaching experience or get a first-time head coaching job with a rebuilding team. Redick becoming the Lakers coach now seems like a match made in Hell

Dan Hurley is now the expected next Lakers coach

[@codycomer4623]

I don’t hate the idea of JJ making the jump to coaching in a vacuum, but I don’t think any coach in the world is gonna fix the lakers. AD is inconsistent and injured too often, and Lebron is a hoss, but he’s older and slowing down (again, still a really good player I’m not Lebron hating here). And there’s just not eneough going on with the rest of that roster to make a real title run in my opinion.

[@ShockwaveDawn]

At what point do you consider something a "rumor" ?

[@austintrousdale2397]

As Lebron's self - proclaimed biggest fan,he (and the Lakers organization) has lost his damn mind,if this is true. This is why when they fired Ham, who wasn't great, I repeatedly asked "Yeah,but to hire who?" This is insane.

[@ericmausbach1808]

Rafael Stone needs to be fired if he trades for Bridges, and screws the Rockets rebuild. The way the draft worked out this year, the Nets picks in 2025-27 have become more valuable. Rockets should only trade them away if they get a superstar in return....not Mikal Bridges.

[@RE1GN_BLOOD]

Rockets offered Green and three 1’s for Bridges and the Nets said no (allegedly). I’m not sure I’d trade straight up now if I’m Houston.

Jj reddick isnt a bad coach. A few teams like the hornets have tried to bring him on for interviews. Player coaches do work sometimes and jj is a very smart man

[@dbrownwind]

I’m sorry this is the same thing they did when they bought in Marvin ham. A first year coach but ham at least one championship with the Milwaukee Bucks so he has some experience as an assistant. JJ Reddick, doesn’t have any coaching experience. I mean, everybody will be falling in love with him in the beginning, but when the things get hard, he won’t be able to dictate to LeBron or Anthony Davis. They will have the same stuff they were in before. They didn’t get their experience, Coach who is available BUDENHOLZER. They should just let LeBron coach and see how he fails, he won’t be able to throw nobody else under the bus besides himself. The Lakers are fool and that’s my franchise that I like in the NBA that is.

[@radityapoerwanto7018]

JJ got too much to lose to be Lakers head coach

[@luisdavidseverino-qk5sy]

Lebron has never said that he wants JJ as a coach, yet everyone thinks they are picking JJ to appeal to Lebron Even Coach K is advising the Lakers, but still, the only comments are hate on Lebron. Now, if the JJ hire works out, they will shit on Lebron anyways because they will say that Lebron had nothing to do with the hire. Long story short, haters will hate, doesn't matter what he does

[@benwelch6554]

I like JJ a lot, but the lakers as a whole is just an absolute meat grinder and so difficult for any coach. Then you throw LeBron and the pressure with that in there and it’s almost impossible. JJ I believe would be great as a head coach for a young team where he can learn and try things and he’s got a young core hungry to learn with little expectations. For his sake I hope it works out in LA, but I think it’s impossible

JJ, don't take the coaching job.....i dislike the Lakers, so if they burn to the ground, I'll be there with marshmallows and wieners....but between your podcast work (which you are rather good at) and broadcasting (which if you are good at that) could give you more power, wealth, and influence than being the Lakers coach if coaching is what you always wanted to do (don't know, won't say one way or another), then start small and grow into it. i genius couldn't pull the lakers out of the mud and make them something quickly, heck if you start in the G-League or as an assistant to someone, you might be a legitimate coach by the time Lebron buys a team, and names it after himself....or just be a force online and be the next Pat McAfee....i don't thing the NBA has one of those yet
