How does Redick feel about all this recent chatter surrounding his future?
15-year NBA sharpshooting guard-turned-ESPN broadcaster/podcast network entrepreneur JJ Redick had emerged as the Los Angeles Lakers' preferred pick to become their latest head coach
L.A. fired now-former head coach Darvin Ham earlier this offseason, following a largely-solid two-year run with the franchise that saw him post a 90-74 combined regular season record and a 9-10 playoff record and lead the team to one Western Conference Finals appearance as a No. 7-seeded underdog in 2023.
Redick, who would step into the gig with zero coaching experience beyond the youth basketball level, is apparently all-too-aware of the hype. During an appearance on Mike Golic and Mike Golic Jr.'s new joint podcast for DraftKings, "GoJo and Golic," Redick addressed the chatter head-on... sort of. "My focus is on the NBA Finals. In terms of Shams, that will be addressed once the season is over. I'll just say that."addresses the elephant in the room — the rumors of the Lakers' interest in him as their new Head Coach"I would say this: my focus right now is on calling the NBA Finals. I am so fortunate that I'm in this position and I get to call these Finals with Doris and Mike ," Redick said diplomatically.
