Cassell, Borrego Join JJ Redick as Early Favorites for Lakers Coaching Job. Plus, Coach K Advising?

- Things are shifting, at least a bit, as the Lakers begin their coaching search in earnest this week. Reports indicate that JJ Redick is still at the head of the class, but rather than former Nets coach Kenny Atkinson filling the role of "guy with experience as a head coach," the Lakers are more focused on former Hornets/Magic coach James Borrego. And joining them? Long time NBA assistant (and before that, long time NBA point guard) Sam Cassell.
Cassell, especially, is a new name for the mix and one that would, in theory, seem to check a lot of boxes for the Lakers.
The Lakers are likely to widen the scope of their search as the playoffs continue, and guys like Micah Nori (Minnesota) and David Adelman (Denver) become available for interviews, but who starts the race in front makes a difference. (Just ask teams who begin the season ranked 21st in the college football polls how hard it is to get to the front of the line.)
Meanwhile, the Lakers also have a list of qualities they're looking for in their next coach, and it's a very long list... of absolutely obvious things you'd want in a coach. Surely there are other, more technical things the Lakers want, but for the stuff they've leaked? Tremendous airspace for Captain Obvious to fly.
Meanwhile, they're getting advice from Coach K. About all their candidates? Just about (former Duke star) Redick? Who's to say? But the notion of the Lakers turning to someone like him is very on brand.

Lonzo Ball has a podcast now. Does that automatically make him a potential candidate for the Lakers head coach position? It doesn’t seem like Lonzo will be playing next season, so lots of time available. Former Laker, high level playing experience, knows LBJ. check, check, check. Trade for him and make him non-playing player coach.
Just say you don’t know ball bro. Aside from his relationship with Bron, JJ knows the game. That’s clear.
Man I can't wait to get my new Bronny James G league jersey 😆😆 SMH
They want a real coach not another stand a clapper with defensive first and no offense skills at all
Jennie Buss and org is running the organization like a 🤡 show. Very sad!!!!
Magic Mike PONY DANCE.. you're killing me Andy😂😂😂
I am so sick of Rob Pelinka and his whimsical ass thoughts. He literally comes across as Stuart Smalley some times.
Please not jj or sam this is a joke,two more scapegoats.
Bring in dancing barry.
Hopefully, Jeanie is just using all this as a ploy to actually get Coach K to close out the Lebron era.
Stop!🤦♂️
@@mrc302 😂 Why? We out the playoffs my guy
Great idea
Correction: Sam Cassell is still coaching. Currently assistant coach for Boston Celtics. Which makes him even more of an attractive hire. Perhaps Sam as Head and JJ as Assistant Coach?
You're right. Oversight on our part. In listing all the stuff about his resume, we should have noted that he's currently working. Good catch. AK
@@LockedOnLakers Bows to the floor , throws rose petals at your feet, for taking the time to bless my comment with a AK reply
Sam Cassells is not going to be the Lakers coach & who the hell is Borrego 😂 just go buy yourselves a LA Lakers JJ Reddick hat & relax your bald heads 😂
😂😂
When you address Sam Cassell, you address him as champion. 💯
Certainly. I noted all three titles. AK
Not surprising at all?he put in the work well respected I think he would be a very fine coach
Hey, talk to Brian with that one. As I said, I'm not surprised at all Cassell would make the list for serious consideration. AK
James Borrego would be a terrible fit. Sam Cassell could work as head coach. David Adelman is my 1st choice. If Redick becomes the head coach. I hope Rondo is on his staff along with some experienced assistant coaches.
Most likely, he will be gone, in 2 years if hired
Andy, at 24:01, your argument was weak. What was the insinuation? That Bronny James is not even good enough to get meaningful minutes in the G-League? Or that Bronny doesn’t have the potential to earn those minutes in the G-League? 🤦♂️
another rookie coach?? jaja - lakers need a winner coach, experienced coach, with championship experience, lakers need to be logic
14:36 Should have put “Must Love dogs”in this description of what they are looking for…
In all reality this coaching search is not that big of a deal. Very high probability next coach we get LeBron will be fired once LeBron retires anyway and that’s just one or two years away. No matter what happens I’m here for the team but I don’t stress anything that happens, at this point nothing would shock me.
I’d go Sam time for his opportunity 🤞🏾🙏🏾🔒
Id say Sam over JJ...with a strong coaching staff regardless of the hire
I hate to say it but the only coach thats going to work is the one that Lebron wants. He wants a coach he can control, so indirectly hes the coach and the coach is just a figurehead. He just wants a coach that makes some sense thats in the wavelength as his. Pelinka has no input thats remotely sensible, his past decisions reflect this, so he will say its a unanimous decision again.
im a lebron fan, but get rid of lebron. Keep AD and build around him while you can.
Just let Lebron coach lol. JJ Redick can be assistant coach lol
Lebron is looking for AD to lead yet he is not passing to AD to be the lead in the 4th quarters when Lebron needs to get his stats
I don't Share you guys view on JJ at all
Ha someone who speaks Pelinka
Let Bron and jj coach
The way they talk about Sam Cassell is the same way they talk about Darvin Ham 2 season ago. What a joke
In what sense? Seriously asking. AK
scapegoat
Sam I Am
"A coach that can grow with the team" means a coach that can at least have a competitive series against Denver. If he can't then he will be fired, and growing with the team will go out of the window.
You two had me laughing tonight. That was great! This is Groundhog Day. It seems like we just went through this leading up to the Ham hiring.
WHO AMOUNG US IS NOT WORTHY OF COMPASSION FOR FORGIVENESS...
Pick wisely Lakers.
The magic Mike 😂😂
JJ dressed as a chippendale dancer in a bowtie for the interview is a wild ass visual lol
Hey, does he want the job or not? AK
@@LockedOnLakers Hahaha!
Coach JJ has been pretty successful in his basketball career. The JJ podcast has over a million subscribers. Maybe Coach JJ just wants a ring. Kid James is 6'2".
He's not a coach. Never has been.
@@RDobbs-uv4xc Coach JJ coaches his sons 8yr olds team. His game plan is he would rather have the kids shoot three's than commit turnovers. If Coach JJ gets the Laker job, the offense will be transition threes.
@@robertwilliams-np6wb Lol. That's not coaching.
@@RDobbs-uv4xc Maybe not. Coach JJ is going to happen though.
@@robertwilliams-np6wb Maybe. He might get the keys to the office. But he's not going to be doing much coaching. It's a clown show to even consider him.
Cassell
None of these dudes deserve to coach the Lakers. Especially JJ. They sure are trying to sell the bs though huh.
Guys, listen to yourselves, there is no one out there that can appease Lebron. There is a destructive pattern over the last six years and it can't, won't be solved until the problem is gone. The ownership and front office is not equipped to build a winner. As Laker fans we need to settle in and ride out the Lebron era, wait for Jeanie to sale the Lakers, say bye-bye to Rob and the Rambii's and get in new ownership that will in your words Andy not be intimidated by the players. The Denver Nuggets win because the players are not bigger than the organization and they have a coach that doesn't allow the crap that Lebron provides. Listen to yourselves you know the answer and it's not there. No coach can coach Lebron at this point. He's bigger than the Lakers and the NBA. Lebron and the front office are the problem, there is no coach that can solve that.
Dude Chill With The OBSESSION Already 🤷🏿♂️😂😂😂😂😂
Well that might be 10 to 15 yrs
To be fair none of these coaches are good choices
Thank you very much well said I agree 💯 percent.
🗑️ opinions
WITH OUR "SO CALLED COACHING SEARCH".....OUR WINDOW HAS CLOSED!
(bron if smart flees to the clippers)
It's gonna be JJ. LeWatch. 💯💯💯
Great videos but please shorten them up offer more substance and content much less giggling and chuckling!!
Really hope Sam is the choice. Man has paid his dues and I think he's ready. Stay away from Reddick and Borrego.
We need Phil Jackson back .
Phil would never agree to coach LeBron- he doesn’t like his game
Hire Derick Fisher
Nope.
cassell?
