James has a quiet rep in the NBA as a "coach-killer". Whether there is any truth to the matter is a matter of discussion for years to come. However, at the beginning of the Redick era in LA, here is a historical list of James' coaches dating back to his days as a teen-ager in Cleveland.

Every head coach LeBron James has had in the NBA, from Paul Silas to JJ Redick

Some of LeBron James' former coaches landed on their feet. One of them never coached in the NBA again.

One thing is for certain, this is a win now move by Presti

They are likely to hand Caruso a massive extension so I wouldn’t necessarily call it that. He isn’t a rental.

They needed draft picks

Lots of draft Capital

This is the type of move you get from a GM that is trying to save his job.

Caruso is the type of player that literally improves every team in the league other than maybe the Celtics. The number of offers he would have been able to cobble together for him and THIS is what he gets is just mind blowing.

And the worst part is that he literally has to commit to Giddey long term this off-season so it is cap expensive too by the end of the summer.

$20 M a year isn’t massive by todays standards

You guys are way under realizing the potential Giddey has. Way under.

Interesting staff Redick is looking to put together. It'll be interesting to see how many he can get.

“Assistant coaching candidates for Redick’s staff will include former head coach and recent Trail Blazers assistant Scott Brooks, former Lakers guard Rajon Rondo, ex-Laker and current Dallas Mavericks assistant Jared Dudley and Cassell," wrote Shams Charania.

I actually like this hire for the lakers, which means I hate it. People don’t look at guys that are successful at whatever they do nearly enough.

Didn’t @Mecca say she was all over it?

It looks like they are rebuilding with Derozan but didn’t acquire any picks. I don’t get it. They aren’t contending. They are in that middle ground. Play-in territory

I saw rumors out there that Derozan was also on trade blocks

We then they are in rebuilding or tank mode if they trade him. At least that makes sense

As long as Legs has been at ESPN?

I bet they keep him. And Legs strikes me as the loyal type.

I don't think loyalty will matter much with Amazon and NBC in play. Legs has wanted to call games and have an expanded role for years now but ESPN never gave him the option. SVP specifically fought for him to be on his SC to break down film. Now if they give Redick's role as the lead analyst (JVG's role before Redick), I could see him staying. Because that role has the Finals. But if its just more of the same but with a handful of games to call added, I'd bet he'd leave, especially if NBC or Amazon offer him their lead

Yep.

This guy had a 15 year NBA career and there are people posting here who are more athletic than him.

He is a winner.

Makes me a little more comfortable with the hire.

We shall see.

 

[DJ]

Surprised Redick didn't call Stan Van Gundy. SVG was his first HC I believe. That would have made sense.

 

[DJ]

I guess he still could since those are all just candidates.

Hell of a trade for the Thunder. Giddey may have more long term potential, but Caruso makes them better today, and in critical areas.

40% 3's and elite defense means Caruso can play at any critical moment, and takes pressure off of SGA on the defensive end.

They got a player that’s similar to Lu Dort. Dort is one of their higher salary players. There could be another move coming.
