ClutchPoints: “I will be surprised if [the Lakers] next head coach is anybody but JJ Redick… He’s doing some background, calling some assistant coaching candidates.” Chris Haynes on the Lakers’ head coaching search 👀 (via @dpshow) pic.twitter.com/vtWV2CGTrT -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / May 29, 2024
Byron Scott talked to TMZ Sports this week about JJ Redick — a 15 seasons NBA vet — and the prospects of him landing one of the most coveted jobs in all of sports … L.A. Lakers head coach. “It’s hard jumping in that seat as a first-time head coach,” Scott said. “I don’t know if he has what it takes to be a great head coach in the NBA but again if he gets that opportunity, we’ll find out real soon.” -via TMZ.com / May 26, 2024
“[Steve Nash] never had any coaching experience and it didn’t really work out well in Brooklyn for him,” Scott said. Scott does have a few candidates in mind … Sam Cassell, who has been an NBA assistant coach since 2009, and Mark Jackson, who coached Steph Curry and the Golden Warriors before Steve Kerr. Scott even offered his services. -via TMZ.com / May 26, 2024
