For the sickos who like to watch, Wednesday’s @LockedOnLakers pod, on YouTube! The Lakers are reportedly “zeroing in” on JJ Redick. As opposed to… this entire coaching “search” from minute one? @LockedOnNetwork @LockedOnNBAPods

Wednesday’s @LockedOnLakers podcast! The Lakers are reportedly “zeroing in” on JJ Redick as the next coach. Yeah, no (bleep)! Could he end up a good hire? Yes. Has this process been strong? Doesn’t feel that way. @LockedOnNetwork @LockedOnNBAPods

The Lakers are hoping to convince James Borrego to join JJ Redick’s staff as a lead assistant, per @jovanbuha (m.youtube.com/watch?v=3wK1Br…).
Borrego, Sam Cassell, Scott Brooks, Rajon Rondo and Jared Dudley are all assistant candidates in play to potentially join Redick in LA. pic.twitter.com/2SR0q3KLM9 – 7:30 AM

The Lakers hiring JJ Redick is a great move. Lots of talk that he has no coaching experience. Neither did Steve Kerr. And look how that worked out. – 7:06 PM

JJ Redick said on an ESPN conference call that his production company is “co-producing the NBA’s version of Drive to Survive” for ESPN and Disney, along with Fulwell 73.
“It’s an eight-part docuseries and will be out later this year.” – 1:50 PM

More on this storyline
An interesting discussion point if nothing else about the Lakers’ widely perceived top candidate: As a season-ending awards voter thanks to his broadcasting jobs, Redick elected not to vote for Davis for either first or second team All-Defense this season. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 5, 2024
Jovan Buha on JJ Redick: “The Lakers have made it known, as well as Klutch Sports CEO and Davis’s agent Rich Paul, that this should be more of a Davis hire than a LeBron James hire, given that LeBron may only play another year, two years, three years max in the NBA and Davis is signed for another four years with the Lakers.” -via YouTube / June 5, 2024
Adrian Wojnarowski: The Lakers also own the 55th pick in the June draft. The Pelicans have until 11:59 ET on Saturday to inform league of their intentions. The pick is the final of three first-rounders the Lakers owed the Pelicans in Davis trade. -via Twitter @wojespn / May 31, 2024
For weeks, Redick, 39, has garnered the most buzz for the Lakers’ vacant head coaching position in league circles. Though no final decision has been made, and the Lakers still have steps in their coaching search, all indications are Redick is the emphatic favorite. As The Athletic previously reported, the Lakers are infatuated with Redick’s potential and view him as a Pat Riley-like coaching prospect, according to league sources. -via New York Times / June 5, 2024
Get Up: “Do I think it’s going to be JJ [Redick]? Probably. Is it going to happen at the end of the finals? Probably. Is it a done deal? Not to my understanding.” @WindhorstESPN weighs in on the Lakers’ coaching search 👀 pic.twitter.com/EPTosY1z61 -via Twitter @GetUpESPN / June 5, 2024
Additionally, there is the matter of Redick’s coaching staff. Assistant coaching candidates will include Borrego, Cassell, former Laker Rajon Rondo, former Laker and current Dallas Mavericks assistant Jared Dudley and former head coach and assistant Scott Brooks, according to league sources. If the Lakers hire Redick, they’d prefer to have Borrego and Cassell on Redick’s staff as top assistants, according to those sources. The Los Angeles Times was first to report the assistant coaching candidate names. -via New York Times / June 5, 2024
Redick’s primary competition throughout the process, at least over the past couple of weeks, has been James Borrego. The New Orleans Pelicans associate coach and former Charlotte Hornets head man met with Lakers stakeholders last week at the team’s practice facility and was impressive during his meetings, league and team sources said. Davis and Borrego briefly overlapped in New Orleans before Davis’ rookie season, and the two have maintained a solid rapport. Both the Lakers and Paul acknowledge that the Lakers should make this hire with Davis in mind more than James, which is part of the reason why Borrego has been so strongly considered. -via New York Times / June 5, 2024
