After the firing of head coach Darvin Ham, the Los Angeles Lakers are looking for a suitable successor. One candidate in particular is causing a headache.
According to “The Athletic”, there are currently three candidates among the Los Angeles Lakers’ favorites to succeed head coach Darvin Ham.
He was fired after a disappointing season, including a first-round exit in the playoffs (Game 3 between the Mavericks and the Timberwolves on Monday night live on ProSiebenMAXX, ran.de, the ran app and Joyn). Now JJ Redick, James Borrego and Sam Cassell are on the shortlist for the LA franchise.
In addition, Sports Illustrated reported that the Lakers “are excited about Redick’s potential, according to league sources, and view him as a Pat Riley-like coaching prospect who could both help the franchise in the short term and lead it for years to come.”
Pretty optimistic when you consider that Pat Riley is one of the most successful coaches in NBA history.
Redick as a sensitive personnel issue
Redick’s personality is delicate anyway. He is currently running the podcast “Mind the Game” with LeBron James. Observers fear that if Redick takes over, LeBron’s influence could be too great.
JJ Redick played in the NBA for 15 years and has been a successful podcaster for several years now and is now also a co-commentator on “ESPN”. During the current playoffs he comments alongside reporter legends Mike Breen and Doris Burke.
