Was thinking Al Attles won a title for your Dubs as a player/coach. But didn’t realize he’d hung it up as a player a couple years earlier.
That was the most 70s team ever. Like Semi Pro level. The late 70s Bullets too

I am reading that JJ Redick may actually become the LA Lakers next head coach. If this happens if I was a Laker fan I would be sick and tired of Lebron. JJ is a smart basketball guy but has never coach a game other than his sons little league team. Not to mention of course Lebron will navigate to get his son on the team. Lebron is making the Lakers his homeboy franchise. This is not how the leagues best franchise should be treated.

I don't like the move for LA or JJ. JJ is on pace to be the best analyst the NBA has to offer. Why be medicore at something when you can be great at that

Not sure lakers is a good move for a first time coach with no experience

It is the worst situation possible.

The only reason this is even a rumor or possibilty is due to his relationship with lebron

He is a candidate but I gotta think the FO goes with somebody with experience after the Ham fiasco.

Because he may never have this opportunity to coach the Lakers. Once Lebron is no longer a Laker I doubt he would still be on their candidate list to be the coach.

It isn’t about that.

Yes, players need to be held accountable.

But the Lakers can’t just run it back after how the season played out.

And it is a lot easier to replace the coach than it is to replace LeBron and AD.

Yeah I still attribute this more to the actual players than the coach but I get it this is professional sports, coaches get all the blame

It's just a dumb idea all the way around

Best franchise? 7 coaches in 14 years says a different story.

It’s literally always the players, both good and bad.

The league wasn't made 14 years ago. What I was trying to say was it is the leagues most valuable franchise but I fact checked myself and its actually the GS Warriors that currently have the highest valuation in the NBA at 7.7 Billion.

A lot of that value is the state of the art new arena the Warriors built with their own money. Lakers owners are not rich like most owners. The Lakers are their only asset, most owners the team is a side hustle

I suppose that relationship with Lebron is why he already interviewed with Charlotte. Everything is Lebron's fault.
