Is JJ Redick The Frontrunner (Again) for Lakers Coach? Plus, Dan Hurley Talks Money.

The Dan Hurley Saga is over, sort of. As the postmortem continues on this relatively short but extremely interesting chapter in Lakers history (people still talk about Coach K turning them down 20 years later), there's still the matter of finding the coach for next season.
To that end, you'll never guess who is, reportedly, back in front...
Or maybe you will. That's JJ Redick. He's set to meet with the Lakers this weekend, and if the Celtics finish off the Mavericks in Game 4, could be in a position to be hired pretty quickly. This is a good space for the Lakers to be in, all things considered, because the disaster scenario would have been to go after Hurley unsuccessfully, but then lose out on Redick (if that's the next choice) or even James Borrego, who is reportedly getting far along for the gig in Cleveland.
But the Lakers can now credibly turn to Redick as a second choice behind a "c'mon, it's a no-brainer" first option in Hurley, without hurt feelings.
As for Hurley, he went on the Dan LeBatard Show (as well as Collin Cowherd) to talk about what went down. And while total transparency was probably not going to be an option on the table (and may never be) he was more candid than you'd expect. What did he say about the offer? About the prospect of coaching in LA?

Doesn't matter who they get for coach. the problem with the Lakers is in management

@mattosso7676 11 күн бұрын

The problem is that the Lakers keep mortgaging their future to win now. And BECAUSE they are trying to win now, they keep trading away draft picks, which are young, cost-controlled players. But Lebron doesn't want to be a part of a rebuild. And Lebron and AD aren't enough to get them another title by themselves. But their salaries make it impossible to put a decent supporting cast around them. So instead, they spend every year struggling JUST to make the play-in tournament.

The reason JJ is still meeting with the Lakers and isn’t rejecting them is cuz he has no choice if he wants to be a head coach. He has no leverage. Unlike a coach with coaching experience.

BK. Timeshare in Florida? Why, we have beaches in Los Angeles. The beaches and streets here are not under water. The NBA Tv schedule for the finals killed all the momentum for the fans. Boston off for what, 10 days. Dallas off for a week. Three days off between games. If it wasn't for hurley and JJ, What would NBA fans have talked about? I watched 20 minutes on a podcast of Hurley. The whole interview was from his Campus office. He never once looked into the camera. He mentioned that Rob took him to Manhattan Beach. Probably the Condo next to Ireland is owned by the Lakers. Rob then took Hurley to the Lakers Facility in an Industrial Park in El Segundo. At this point the Mrs. was ready to return to LAX and a trip home. JJ just wants a ring.

Why was ty lue not hired

@dmac93065 11 күн бұрын

Let's assume it's true that LeBron is pushing for Redick. LeBron also pushed for Ty Lue and Mark Jackson. She said no to the credible head coaches and seems intent to hire the bum. Why is that? Well, we've seen that Jeanie is cheap. Jeanie likes to pick her coach's staff. Jeanie likes to micromanage them by sending Kurt Rambis to monitor coaching meetings. Then Jeanie and her friends pick players they like, not ones that fit a coach's scheme. Instead of doing what a good owner should and hire smart basketball people to run the organization. Jeanie's power mad feminist mentality won't allow her to stay out of the way. She's trying to perform roles she isn't qualified to assume. Unless one of her brothers takes the team away from her, it's always going to be a mess. But LeBron is there, so it's always his fault even when it's clearly not.

Any truth to the reports the Lakers only employ a quarter to a third of the scouts other teams employ? Years ago when Jim Buss couldn't land superstars one embarrassing criticism was that the Lakers rejected analytics. It was allegedly so bad the lakers not only refused to create an analytics department they didnt even have staff dedicated to analytics. If theyre stuck in the Prime Magic or Prime Kobe era as an organization, they're never going to land a credible head coach. It also explains why they'd waste MLEs on players like Kendrick Nunn and Gabe Vincent.

For the price of a vet min contract the Lakers could have offered $15M a year for 7 years, $105M. Cheap owners are destroying the Laker legacy. We are the laughingstock of the NBA. Please Jeannie, if you care about the Lakers, sell the team.

Bullshit!! You don't offer a mf 100 million who's never touched the NBA floor. Your willing to pay a dude who's only coached kid, not grown men, kids. The same amount of money that someone like the coach in Miami who has NBA championships that kinda of money. Come on you can't be that gullible. Name how many college coaches has been successful. Really only one and that was Brown who coached the 76ers. You dudes get caught up on the social media hype train and don't use that brilliant brain you have. They offered him the right amount of money. And the only reason he's using it as an excuse because it's easier than saying I was scared of the pressure from the job. But you do not under any circumstances give $100 to a mf who's never coached at the NBA. Most college coaches fail. Or just be average. People be looking for so hard for something to complain about. He dont want to come f*** him and we move on.

I’m going to beat a dead horse, and no I have no actual dead horse to beat, but Celtics have 9 deep that can as Tatum says “guard their individual yards” the coach does not matter as much as not having two horrific perimeter defenders as your backcourt. Phil Jackson could come back with Pat Riley as assistant and you still will not win a ring if you don’t change that this off season🫤

The Lakers’ job is appealing but they must have forgot about the taxes in LA….. you can’t offer someone almost less than what they make currently for a high profile job like that. The stress incurred along with the 10% tax on everything you do here in this city. Schools being 60k a year, house would be millions so property tax on that and then the 14% capital gains tax he would have if it didn’t work out and he didn’t stay here… 6 million a year after taxes is not a lot for the lakers when Connecticut is so much cheaper to live in…. If six years was what they were comfortable with, and they really believed this was their championship coach, this championship legacy, billionaire company going after what they really wanted should have offered 6/85 million…. Didn’t happen let’s hope our next coach instills defense to get the fast break going… and Lebron can play only 30 minutes a game because he and reddick are filming their podcast during the game and we are running over everybody because Vando is a sniper like Kd haha….

And the way they threw Frank Vogel and Ham under the bus just like that scares off the great coaches. I feel like the Lakers blew it not giving Hurley a blank check smh. Sell the team Jeanie!!!

You may be correct that in the end, Hurley wasn’t gonna leave regardless of the offer, because there were simply too many forces connecting him to UConn. But that doesn’t change the fact that the Lakers’ offer was nonetheless too low to put Hurley to as hard of a decision as reasonably possible. Both things can be true. AK

Thats dumb as f*** smdh We have such a cry baby base. Not everyone is built to be a Laker.
