The showtime Lakers are back... as a comedy show... But to be honest this a great financial decision on Reddick's part. He's going the Full Monty because even if he gets canned, he gets paid for years to come. He can go back to podcasting and he's gotten his foot through the NBA Coaching door, setting him up for future opportunities either as Head or Assistant, all brought to you by the Lakers. It's a win-win for Reddick whether it succeeds or not.
No tf it’s not??? Dude is getting $4 mill a year when it was already known that he was making far more than that through his podcasting network and media appearances, which will stop now. Monty got the biggest coaching contract in the league, THE LAKERS WILL BE PAYING MORE MONEY TO DARVIN HAM OVER THE NEXT 2 YEARS THAN THEY WILL BE PAYING JJ, WHO IS CURRENTLY COACHING.
Definitely not a win win for JJ, bro took the most high pressure job opening while not getting paid as much as Monty. The situations between the two of them are nowhere near comparable. Monty took over a team trying to get out of the lottery, while the Lakers have championship expectations year in year out whether its justified or not and its only amplified with Lebron James on the roster
@@GlizzieMcGuire It definitely is a high pressure job and Reddick will definitely already know this but we all know Reddick is overly confident, he's talked to talk, let's see if he can walk... actually he'll need to run for that championship lol But I said it's win-win because it still opens the door for him to other coaching jobs, we've seen head coaches become assistants and vice versa, it's a revolving door. He has his media company to fall back on, there will still be an audience.
@@StereoClassics People listen to Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson... since the algorithm has pushed his channel out there, there will always be an audience. Maybe not the same audience as before but an audience nonetheless
this is it, JJ wasnt a bad hire for the situation they put themselves in but the thing is, you should have never put yourself in this position! You shouldnt have bull5hitted ty lue and should have hired him to the contract he wanted and you would have had a quality coach during this "lebron" era
@@cjvos4516I doubt Lue being coach instead of Vogel changes much. Still win in 20, LeBron and AD still get hurt not having near enough time to recover with an extremely short off season in 21, and they probably still panic and get Westbrick unless Lue being coach magically gets Lillard wanting to come here and then Lue likely gets fired the same way Vogel did in 22. Used as a scapegoat for terrible roster construction and losing the locker room.
Here’s a fun stat: In the history of the nba, there’s been around a dozen head coaches who are former players hired with no previous experience (front office included, sorry Steve Kerr doesn’t count), and in that list only 2 of them were seen as good coaches, and 0 of them had any success with the team who originally hired them. Doc Rivers is the best case of this ever. And his coaching career started with blowing a 3-1 lead in the first round as the Magic head coach.
Larry Bird arguably is the best player that transitioned to coach apart from Steve Kerr. Bird coached the Pacers from 1998 - 2000 season. Made the ECF twice and finals in the final season.
Honestly can’t think of another college basketball player in my lifetime who got anywhere near as much hate as Reddick did. I expect he can handle the LA spotlight/hate (not that that + a podcast make him a NBA level head coach…)
@@eliyarrows2456why do y’all lie man Lebron has one of the lower usage rates in the league he has played off Ball for Dlo and Reaves AD had one of his best years PSA what star player doesn’t have a system in place for them u run your offense through your best player it’s been like that your decades 😂
I don’t understand why JJ wanted the job, bc there are so many things out of his control that he definitely will be blamed for. And when that happens, it’ll completely discredit his “high basketball iq” and the podcast. Like he has so much to lose with this move, I just don’t understand.
Season opener has got to be lakers vs. Celtics Lakers get to watch Celtics hang their 18th banner after they’re pitiful in season banner last season Everyone gets to watch JJ first coaching game to start the season
@@lakernation26 Fairweather fans in a nutshell. Some of these people claim how they supported the team anywhere from 20-40 years but LeBron ruined it for them? Lol lmao even.
In all seriousness though the lakers had a perfect team built around LeBron and ad during the 2020 championship run, a team built with experience shooting defense and length
2021 was better but AD and LeBron broke down just like the other three conference finals finalists in the Bubble did with the shortest off season in history.
@@CrazyxEnigma actually they were up 2-1 against the eventual finalists, until AD went down in game 4 with an injury. stop rewriting history to your liking.
Nobody knows if a coach will work or not, he's a new one but at some point new faces have to come in so we just gotta wait and see how jj will do in this role
Idk I feel like JJ doesn't have it to be a leader like he might be an offensive genius but I feel like some players still see him as a player rather than the coach
The logical step now is to fill the assistant spots with former head coaches or very experienced assistants. However, that might just backfire. Too many chefs in the kitchen and I wonder if said assistants will be frustrated with philosophy. I just look at Nash's tenure with so many experienced assistants and they had high turnover.
No tf it wouldn’t. He is currently playing in Taiwan and not at an all star level IN THEIR LEAGUE. How tf is he even playable in the nba? GO SIGN THE TAIWANESE GUYS WHO ARE OUT PLAYING HIM AT THAT POINT 😂
sorry didn't watch much lakers this season but darvin ham needed to 'find' the lineup of dlo reaves rui ad lebron? wasn't that the exact lineup that got them to the conference finals 2 years ago? how do you end up forgetting that lineup and needing to rediscover it again?
Ham sucks and while he wasn't the only problem he was the biggest. He was an idiot and never took responsibility for his own failings it was always the players fault or the other team was "a helluva ball club". If JJ can call timeouts, use his challenge and get the players to run the system instead of freestyling stagnant ISO ball in the second half he will already be an improvement that's how low the bar is.
Nobody knows? We got 1200 foul calls last yr , majority on offense alone. Last 2 seasons we was guaranteed playoffs spots. Jj will make coach of the month and playoffs 1st season. Did I mention media coverage +++ in off-season.
You will not know this is not gonna work, but who’s gonna turn down the type of money that the Lakers are offering and another thing they might as well a baby at this point and give him a clipboard and say get the job done little man because this is horrible
Lakers fan here. DLO is good. However a bad fit for LeBron and AD on court because AD and LeBron handle the scoring while dlo doesn't defend and needs the ball to create or he's out of rhythm. If he was an ice cold spot shooter okay but a lack of length and vetsality on defensive end makes old LeBron and oft injured AD look bad on defense to.
I think JJ will be a good coach but this Lakers team is falling behind in the West. They might start a rebuild a couple of years down the line and let Redick focus on the development of young players they eventually draft.
Truthfully, the Lakers head coach doesn’t matter. LeBron has always been the head coach on every team he’s ever played on. It’s all about who LeBron wants, in term of a relationship.
What it's about is if this experiment is even slightly successful, Lebron wants to put on his resume that he took a rookie coach and his rookie son to the victory column and that only ads to his list of reasons ad to why he crowns himself the goat. That's what it's all about. Why else would a front office hire JJ when there are other more deserving, obviously more qualified and experienced coaches
What if and im just spitballin here. But what if Lebron got JJ hired as his guy but then leaves for a better team. Gets his guy a job and he leaves for a contender might be a win win
The fact JJ has been viewed as a Pat Riley potential by people in our FO screams incompetence, massive copium or both. I think JJ can be a decent coach... one day it sure as 💩 ain't going to be right away. All I'm hoping is he's better than pockets Ham which is an incredibly low bar. Everybody is already talking about how LeBron is the real coach and JJ is his guy and that's exactly why Pelinka hired him imo. If this goes belly up like it has with every coach since Phil Jackson retired in 2011 LeBron gets all the blame instead of Pelinka for hiring him in the first place and keeps his job.
The real winner is Rob Pelinka. This guy put this roster together with LeBron and skates by for another year or 2 until they inevitably fire JJ and then hire another scapegoat/coach and put another few years of salary in the bank. Meanwhile Lakers fans are happy about this?
JJ made a mistake it's one thing to befriend lebron from the outside but when you apart of whether he succeeds or fails you can very well be his enemy if things don't go well.Once you start losing that diva in him gon kick in and start making you more of a scapegoat then you actually are and not just him the media under his jockstrap and the lakers organization themselves who are just as untrustworthy as he is
It's making a mockery of the game. Putting a rookie coach with no qualifications into a team and then expect them to contend for a title. That thinking is so last decade. Trying to turn a team around using the same players is laughable 😂😂😂
The Problem for The Lakers has not been Coaching. The Problem for The Lakers has been The Players. This Laker Roster lacks Versatile Players. The Lakers need to Trade Players that are Unable to Shoot and Defend, and Replace them with Wings and a Center, that can Shoot 3’s and Defend Multiple Positions. LeBron will only be able to be at his best, if He has “ Shooters “ to Space The Floor. Otherwise, LeBron is Going to Have to Do EVERYTHING, and eventually Burn-Out or Get Injured Quicker.
You hit the nail on the head regarding the roster issues but coaching was absolutely a problem. Ask any Lakers fan who had the displeasure of watching this team every night. Ham sucked and lost the locker room pretty early. It's pretty damning to have your star player say publicly to the press during the playoffs that they don't know what they're doing on both sides of the floor. Edit: Exact quote: "We have stretches where we don’t know what we’re doing on both ends of the floor."- Anthony Davis. If coaching wasn't at all a problem no way AD would've ever said this.
Lebron just does whatever he wants and throws his teammates under the bus. Theres not much coaching to be done, other than benching Lebron and actually playing basketball instead of flopping and complaining to the refs all the time.
I know it wont work. If you need more evidence of that, Rondo will likely be an assistant because he is AD's 'guy'. So, will a team with one of the worst owners, a incompetent GM who is only good at not getting fired, A zero exp. coaching staff, and aging star players with inconsistent role players in what might be the most competitive the West has ever been, do they have a shot? No. Likely, with Memphis/Rockets back to full strength and Wemby second season the Lakers wont even be in the playoffs next year.
That just shows how toxic Lebron is . The Lakers can't find a coach? With all the great coaches around? They have to look for podcasters and college coaches because no coach want to deal with LeDiva and be the scapegoat
