Get Rondo on that staff with Terry Stotts and Dudley. that would be nice. I dunno much about sam Cassell as a coach but sure, why not.
Make sure to keep Rondo around in case JJ doesn't thrive =P |

I like that staff in terms of who they are as people, especially Rondo, Dudley and Cassell. Could use some more X's and O's acumen/experience. |
Brooks is a former NBA coach of the year and the only one with HC experience. Why leave him out when he could be the best…including JJ…of all of them?
I would have been most pleased with Monty but he’s probably chilling still getting paid by Detroit (and Phoenix?), with assistants Brooks, JJ, Rondo, Cassell. We could take advantage of JJ’s innovation without risking his inexperience and possible “know it all” stubbornness. Anyway, at least they didn’t wait until the draft like before lol!

Typically, the issues for new coaches tend to be:
Game Management - when to call timeout, substitution patterns, lend game plays, etc.
Practice Structure - being productive because there isn't adequate practice time during the regular season.
Stupid Human Tricks - Player X's 1st Baby Momma is fighting with Player Z's 2nd Baby Momma.

He would bring in more than $162M for the Lakers in that 3 years. How often can we say anything we buy would increase in value?

Just a heads up: Just because Jeanie and the Organization are interested in bringing back LeBron doesn’t mean that LeBron has the same thought process from all reports I have gathered is that he is gonna take his time to decide what he’s gonna do in FA, I think he’s gonna meet with Philly and Cleveland there is no sense that LeBron coming back is guaranteed |

I’m not too bowled over by that initial AC list. Would like to have Rondo and not really any of the others.

Mazulla and Lue paid dues as an assistant.
The right group for JJ would be Fisher, Nash, Kerr. And even Kerr had front office experience before making the jump.

Things about to get Redickulous.
Riley, really hoping for the best and o hope dude is flanked with some assistant studs, even if we can’t get our hands on a Dud.
One of them absolutely, positively, serendipitously better be our defensive dynamo X&Ds guy that knows without a shadow of a doubt that AD not only works at the 4 the best but has been wasted all these years playing rim protector when the brow should have been allowed to spread his wings out on perimeter. Please…pretty please bring that guy to JJ’s bench. If it’s Rondo, Cassell, SVG, whomever…just get him here ASAP before we turn the Brow upside down #ASAD

JJ Redick becoming the Lakeds HC does seem to give us that sense that it gives good odds on LeBron coming back but it doesn’t look that way, JJ Redick is more of a Anthony Davis hire |

JJ is smart. He can learn on the fly quickly. He can figure out things like "how to stop Jokic" quicker and easier. That's what we need rn. We don't really need him to develop anyone.

Because the NBA is the next level. Look at how many people were super successful in college then couldn't translate into the pros. College basketball also emphasizes systems while in the NBA individual talent goes a lot further. |

This is not about JJ.
This is about Pelinka. He has had his chances many time. He has made this a circus.
First, he could not sign Ty Lue.
Second, he picked Vogel but he fired him too soon.
Third, he brought in Ham which was a joke.
Fourth, he could not close Hurley.
Fifth, he signs JJ.
This is a circus. |

You sure that's what we need/want? Most reports have the Lakers wanting a guy tha can develop the young guys.

I like AD at the 4, but i don't know how I feel about LeBron playing defense at the 3. |

^I think Bron will do alright, particularly if we do find a legit rim protecting 5 that’s not Anthony Davis. AD will cover Bron in any age deficient tendencies that may show up with dude playing defensive 3.
Btw it looks to be a 4yr 32m deal…
| Quote: | Seven weeks after firing Darvin Ham, the Los Angeles Lakers landed on their next head coach on Thursday: JJ Redick, the 15-year NBA veteran turned podcaster and broadcaster, league sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell The Athletic. Redick is signing a four-year deal worth in the neighborhood of $8 million per season with the Lakers, according to sources briefed on the deal. – via New York Times
|
| Quote: | Quinn: Not at all notable but hey, just kinda neat. JJ Redick is getting $8 million per year to coach the Lakers. 20 Years ago, the Lakers offered Mike Krzyzewski, Redick's college coach, $8 million per year to become their coach.

Quite some coin short of a 6yr 70m deal…

I feel like 32M is an over pay too. Need to see the new average. I know coach pay has increased with the Monty deal resetting the market.
