“When we set out on the journey to name the next Lakers coach, we really had in mind concepts around innovation and challenging ourselves to be forward-thinking.”
The Lakers know JJ Redick is an unorthodox hire.

JJ Redick spent the weekend connecting with Lakers’ players, sources told @JakeLFischer.
Redick left the impression he’s going to value positional versatility, three-point shooting and playmaking for lineups that can optimize LeBron James off the ball.

More on this storyline
“It was really after I interviewed for the Toronto job last year that I knew that I wanted to be a head coach in the NBA,” Redick said. “And so the last year, I spent a lot of time talking to coaches, talking with GMs, picking their brains. … I just felt like this is what I’m supposed to be doing.” -via ESPN / June 24, 2024
Lakers vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka countered by saying that “NBA head-coaching experience and NBA experience aren’t mutually exclusive things,” and praised the former shooting guard as someone who can be innovative, not just on the sidelines, but in shaping the entire organization. “I think in industry in general and in sports in specific, sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in patterns of being in a sea of sameness and doing the same thing that everybody else is doing,” said Pelinka, who sat next to Redick during the news conference. “But when we embarked on this search, it was really important for us to see if we could do something a little bit different. And quickly in our conversations with JJ, it was very evident that he had a unique perspective and philosophy on basketball and how it’s to be taught.” -via ESPN / June 24, 2024
Redick spent the weekend connecting with players up and down the Lakers’ roster over the phone, league sources told Yahoo Sports, explaining his vision for some of their specific roles. Redick left various players and their representatives with the impression the first-time head coach is going to value positional versatility, 3-point shooting and playmaking for lineups that can optimize LeBron James off the ball, sources said. -via Yahoo!
