JJ Redick Frontrunner Again for Lakers Coach? Plus, Dan Hurley Talks Money. Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers
-
- Basketball
The Dan Hurley Saga is over, sort of. As the postmortem continues on this relatively short but extremely interesting chapter in Lakers history (people still talk about Coach K turning them down 20 years later), there's still the matter of finding the coach for next season.
To that end, you'll never guess who is, reportedly, back in front...
Or maybe you will. That's JJ Redick. He's set to meet with the Lakers this weekend, and if the Celtics finish off the Mavericks in Game 4, could be in a position to be hired pretty quickly. This is a good space for the Lakers to be in, all things considered, because the disaster scenario would have been to go after Hurley unsuccessfully, but then lose out on Redick (if that's the next choice) or even James Borrego, who is reportedly getting far along for the gig in Cleveland.
But the Lakers can now credibly turn to Redick as a second choice behind a "c'mon, it's a no brainer" first option in Hurley, without hurt feelings.
As for Hurley, he went on the Dan LeBatard Show (as well as Collin Cowherd) to talk about what went down. And while total transparency was probably not going to be an option on the table (and may never be) he was more candid than you'd expect. What did he say about the offer? About the prospect of coaching in LA?
HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
