Dave McMenamin: LeBron James has not had any conversations with the Lakers about Dan Hurley – or JJ Redick and the coaching search in general for that matter, a source familiar with the situation told ESPN on Thursday.Source: Twitter @mcten
What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Dave McMenamin @mcten
Jason Kidd said he played against Dan Hurley in high school and called him a “warrior.” He endorsed both Hurley and JJ Redick as coaching candidates for the Lakers, praising their basketball IQ and preparedness for the job despite what would be atypical paths to the NBA bench. – 7:07 PM

Why Lakers are targeting Dan Hurley: How UConn coach would help L.A. in LeBron James era and beyond

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
If Dan Hurley is the Laker coach, this is the roster approach I’m taking:
Trade No. 17. Offer 2026 swap rights. Offer the protected portion of the 2027 pick (1-4). But leave all drafts beyond that untouched.
Improve. Try to win now. But set a clear three-year window for LeBron. – 3:58 PM

A thought about Hurley: I’ve been concerned if Redick is hired, but no time soon, it could put the Lakers behind the 8 ball if they end up keeping 17. But with Hurley, however long it takes to put pen to ink, his inherent knowledge of these prospects can make up for lost time. AK – 3:52 PM

Bronny reportedly made a solid impression on Phoenix’s front office.

LeBron’s Dan Hurley excitement reminds me that ten years ago LeBron took to Twitter to campaign his team (the Heat at the time) for another UConn character who’d had a good tournament run: Shabazz Napier. – 1:46 PM

If Shams is wrong on Redick, his reputation and reliability would take a further hit. He has certainly had some misses recently, notably with Scoot Henderson to Charlotte at #2 last year – 6:58 AM

More on this storyline
For weeks, the external expectations have been that the Lakers would eventually target former NBA player and current broadcaster JJ Redick as the team’s next coach. Internally, though, that assessment was met with talk of a wide-open process, with some dismissing the Redick speculation as just “noise.” That insistence, it turned out, was accurate. -via Los Angeles Times / June 6, 2024
It has been suggested in some corners of the league that Lakers star big man Anthony Davis probably prefers for James Borrego to get the job over Redick. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 5, 2024
An interesting discussion point if nothing else about the Lakers’ widely perceived top candidate: As a season-ending awards voter thanks to his broadcasting jobs, Redick elected not to vote for Davis for either first or second team All-Defense this season. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 5, 2024

Bronny James had his workout with the Phoenix Suns at the team’s practice facility Wednesday, sources informed The Arizona Republic. He wasn’t the only one there. A handful of draft prospects participated in the workout with Villanova guard Mark Armstrong and West Virginia guard RaeQuan Battle having standout performances, sources said. James reportedly looked to work out for the Los Angeles Lakers and Suns after passing on workouts from several teams. The son of LeBron James had a strong workout for the Suns, who put the players through a variety of drills with a focus on shooting, sources said. -via Arizona Republic / June 6, 2024
