They haven’t hired anyone yet. If they had there would have been a press conference or official release. There has been neither

JJ "Rhetoric" has the same coaching record as you and me. 8th seed Maybe

Andy is always so negative. JJ will do fine. Listen to him talk about all the subtle details of the game. He's at least 25 IQ points smarter than Ham. The biggest threat to JJ is him being blamed for the Lakers being in 11 place, when the obvious cause is a regressed 40 year old "superstar". We all know Bron is a coach killer and NEVER takes the blame.

Not happy wth coach not happy with Jeanie se chose to b something else not what her dad invisuobed not food that's 3 more wasted years Laker fans don't have I don't think Jeanie gives a damn you went from house negro to me myself and no one also y do we have the feeling there's more maybe some secret trip to Fiji 🎉❤😂 I am also disappointed in Rob jeanie might b turned on but that fans are turned off just wiped out all laker joy this gire means no championship 😅

Pelinka had no experience when he was hired by clueless Jeanie. So he has no qualms hiring peopke like ham and jj with no experience as head coach and 4 years too long. We are still paying ham for 2 years. Next season will be a gamble. This assured that our highest ceiling is less than last season.

How do we know JJ didn’t want four years? Guy could want flexibility and get a raise faster.

I'm gonna wait and see before judging the hire.

Pelinka messed this one up too. He's an awful GM. Coaching turnover every 2 years. Roster turnover every single offseason. Zero team continuity or chemistry. The Westbrook trade was a bad decision from the start. Everyone seemed to see that, BUT Pelinka. Not resigning Caruso. Trading Kuz. Getting FLEECED in EVERY SINGLE TRADE by better, more experienced GMs. Just an unmitigated disaster as a GM in every way.. Lakers hired a GM with ZERO experience and it's led to the Lakers becoming a joke. Now Pelinka is hiring a coach with ZERO experience. In 3 years, when Lebron retires and the Lakers have literally no viable young players to build around, this team will be irrelevant and will be a perennial Lottery team for the next decade and due to Pelinka's ineptitude.

He's never been a coach but he's always been well prepared unlike ham who has been a coach yet was never prepared

Hey guys. With JJ as the new coach, you know who I wanna see on the Lakers next year? CP3. I think that's a great match. CP3 coming off the bench in a JJ offense with LeBron off-ball, with AD in the post, I think there's some fun to be had there.

JJ will be coach of the year next season!

Andy when you feel you need to explain AD stature it's over.Lebron will end up leading the team in pts and assists at 40 again because AD soft.He the same dude Shaq and Barkley was laughing at for being in a wheelchair.He just not that dude...75% of his pts come from bunnies and oops from LBJ passes. He's no Hakeem you can give the ball to on the post constantly.Funny how AD keep fooling Laker fans every yr...if he the leader of your team you not winning

Poor JJ Redick. LeGM is going to fire his buddy this time.

Minneapolis Lakers = 5x Champions Los Angeles Fakers = 12x Champions Boston Celtics = 18x Champions

I'm concerned about a first coaching job being the Lakers. I'm concerned with AD & LBJ playing in the Olympics.

JJ who?

When he fails, WHEN, I want the same energy that Ham got

JJ could be totally fine, but really feel like the lakers greatest obstacle is the same one they've been trying to overcome most of the last decade. Robb sucks at his job, and has zero accountability. Even IF Reddick is a good coach, that albatross may ruin everything else.

About time

Damn I thought getting a coach would stop all the whining that's been going on. Damn season just ended and people been crying for weeks about hiring a coach. When you were already told by Riddick himself after the finals. Yet yall still continued to cry. It don't take a genius to figure out Hurley just came out the blue. And now since the coach has been named yall still crying about the past. Let's move on. Thanks Gentlemen

Podcast in the off season

JJ will end up being a great hire. He is a basketball junkie and he’s been studying and breaking down the game for a while. People who think he got this job cuz of pod with Lebron are just simpleminded and haven’t been paying attention.

How do we measure JJ's performance?.... Simple He's already cleared the bar by a mile if you're comparing him to Darwin Ham who 1. lost the locker room completely to the point where not a single player, not one spoke a positive word or 2 about him thrub out the past season. 2. He was way over his head when it comes to Xs and Os strategy, game management, rotations etc 3. Complete lack of accountability was obvious in his media addresses... JJs going to be Red Auerbach or Pat Rilry compared to Ham in the above aspects But if you're going to measure JJ on championship or bust... Then you know he's already lost that battle with the current roster. So, the way you measure JJ is 1. Have the young talent have shown growth and maturity within a system and team identity? 2. Can JJ produce wins by out-scheming the opponent more often than not? 3. How well he uses the depth and talent on this team in the right roles?.. The "Alfreds" as he likes to call them. 4. How much he's able to get getb his stars to take the regular season seriously without f***ing around while not wearing them out. If he can get this team to a 2nd rd or conf finals, it will be a smashing success for JJ realistically with this roster

It does sound a touch like the front office can't win with the media at times. Previously the critiscm was that there's no process, they're railroading to Reddick too quickly, without due process, and by now the accusation is that they've taken too long, dithered around, which is being dubbed as indecision.

We will see how this works out, but with LeBron potentially being a free agent... Maybe he can take a contact where he takes a discount, saving the Lakers money to bring in more talent so the team can win another championship just like Ohtani did with the Dodgers.

It was a no Brainer Sam should of gotten the job😂

Hahahahahaha. JJ will want to play 5 out I’m sure. AD better work on that missing 3 point shot

Why not take a look at Michael Cooper? He has just as much if not more coaching experience than Scott Brooks.

Not a fan of this hire unless it is primarily for the post LeBron era. The Lakers always go for the splashy hire when good and competent is probably all you need to be successful, case in point Frank Vogel who was their fourth choice. The last big swing like Luke didn't work out. Personally, I don't think the Lakers should have even considered candidates who didn't have head coaching experience. I was against the Ham hiring last time and thought Stotts would have been a much better option. Heck, Scott Brooks would be a better win now option. My only hope is that they are invested in JJ and ride this out even if the next two years are a mess.

Andy -- 4 years for a coach that has ZERO experience is a great deal of confidence in the potential of that coach. And from Reddick's perspective, if this is a dumpster fire, 4 years isn't an eternity. But, if it works, the Lakers will no doubt extend the contract a couple of years into it. If coaching doesn't work, broadcasting will ALWAYS be there for JJ. 4 years in NO WAY undercuts JJ.

Typical media (and fan) groupthink. None of the Lakers' last 7 coaches have worked out, so why not give JJ a try if they think he can be successful? Surround him with great assistants and boost his confidence (fans and Lakers media), instead of acting like he has no chance. Also, the FO can show confidence in JJ in their press conference.

Why won't the Lakers just pull the band aid off right now. Part ways with Lebron and begin the rebuilding process.

I know they will not spend the required money to hire an experienced bench to support JJ. Thanks Cheapie Buss

Does JJ coach Summer League?

AD will go down as one of the best PF to play the game

Paul Pierce is a nice amiable person

Rob Pelinka is the man they should have replaced, not the coach, as a resident of So Cal most of my 74 years, the Laker management pulled another faux pas. makes me want to root for the C;ippers, a team I cannot stand

Redick is a darvin ham 2.0 this is pathetic 😂
