Lakers Hiring Dan Hurley Over JJ Redick Won’t Force LeBron James Out of LA, NBA Insider Explains Why
JJ Redick getting into the Los Angeles Lakers seems like a far-fetched dream now. It is quite surprising how a discussed name has taken a beach seat for the head coach position. Rather, the UConn coach, Dan Hurley, might be the next one to take charge of the responsibility, reportedly. There is no update yet, but Hurley was supposed to meet with the Lakers front office on Friday. However, it might shatter LeBron James‘ strategy to land Redick, as there are speculations that the Lakers might offer Hurley a hefty sum of money for the role. Even NBA insider Jason Timpf highlighted the perks of having Hurley as the Lakers coach on the Hoops Tonight podcast.
When Timpf was asked about Hurley being a developing coach and if this move could draw LeBron James away, he responded, “I think LeBron is gonna stay and play two more seasons. I think Dan Hurley represents the best of both worlds here because, in the post-LeBron phase, you’ve got excellent coach in scouting and development.” Jason aptly pointed out what the Lakers need now, as it is not just about LeBron but also about the future of the Lakers after him. The purple and gold jerseys need someone visionary to develop them in the post-LeBron era.
