2024 NBA Offseason

Reddick could be great.

Any retread they could possibly hire is not getting the Lakers where they want to go.

Yeah, based on his analysis in games and on his podcast, he knows his stuff.

It's just a question of whether or not he can translate it into the game.

With the available coaching candidates being re-treads and guys with no HC experience...he's as good a choice as anyone I suppose.

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah hard to tell who's more homer among him, Wiggy, and DJ

DJ is head and shoulders above anyone....and many others who should be in next tier.

But you don't need to be a Cavs fan to think this story is a little out there.

Yeah, can’t for the life of me understand why Lakers fans would be upset at this.

Hurley isn’t coming. There isn’t a better option out there.

Reddick could also suck. But it is worth taking a chance on him.

 

[Gman]

It pains me to say it... but the most likely outcome in L.A. is that it doesn't matter who the coach is, they're not coming out of the powerhouse West regardless... a total blow-up in 1 or 2 seasons is all but inevitable.

Wait... that didn't hurt at all.

I mean, I disagree he's for sure a better option than any of the retreads but agree could be as good or better. Hell, he might be better than Hurley.

 

[wildturkey]

Couldn’t agree more

Just because some other players stunk doesn't mean the criticism of Luka isn't valid. People got wound up about Windy's comments but everything he said was true.

 

[DJ]

So Dell Curry wanted Steph on the Knicks when he was drafted?

LOL.

 

[DJ]

And who did.....the Knicks draft? Jordan Hill.

And the Wolves missed on taking Steph twice, selecting Rubio and then Flynn.

He is an unknown.

That is better than a known commodity who is mediocre.

Can't speak for other Lakers fans, but this feels like another "we'll just fire him in 2 years" type hire.

I'm hoping that they will do what they tried to do with Hurley and give him years and money that shows they believe in their choice.

 

[fightinfunbags]

This is the squeeze to get the last little bit of money out of the Knicks. He is definitely a Knick. The Knicks president Leon Wood’s kid is OG’s agent. It will get done. Seems pretty gay and incestuous if you think about it so completely on brand for the Nova Knicks and their big gay boat ride.

Redick would be great? No head coaching exp, hell he doesn't even have any assistant coaching exp. LOL.

Another guy similar.... got the Nets job....Steve Nash. Didn't turn out so well. Fired pretty damn quickly.

Borrego did a good job with Charlotte....he managed to.get that garbage franchise 43 wins a few years ago before they fucked up and fired him. Let that sink in for a few minutes.

Everything non Sixers is gay to you....

LMAO.

 

[bksballer89]

Steve Kerr had no Coaching experience and he is a 4x champ

 

[fightinfunbags]

LMAO.

I mean when you’re always gargling jizz yeah. I’m gonna call you gay DJ. Put down the penis, bro.

I said could be.

Could.

Yes. He is very knowledgeable and he has a vibe with LeBron, which is pretty important for the short term.

You are too hung up on experience. He has tons of experience in locker rooms. He will learn on the job to be sure.

Steve Kerr had no coaching experience before the Warriors hired him. That worked out fine.

Reddick is a basketball lifer.

Borrego just seems like a meh option. Lakers need a home run, not a slightly above average coach.

Reddick could be a home run

Kerr also had Alvin Gentry and Ron Adams to lean on, 2 experienced NBA coaches. Redick is not going to have that,

Come on, man. Every novice coach is not going to be Steve Kerr. That's like calling every 6-7 to 6-9 PG the next Magic......casual fan shit.

I didn’t say he would. I said could

Comparing JJ Redick to Steve Nash is casual fan shit.

Steve Nash is a very odd person. He is not relatable. And after he retired, he was away from basketball entirely until he took the Nets job.

That is not JJ Reddick at all.
And why can’t Reddick have experienced assistants?

There was no chance Nash was going to work coaching Kyrie and KD.

This has a chance.
