LA Lakers Wanted LeBron James and JJ Redick to be Teammates, NBA Insider Reveals
It's unclear how "early" the Lakers inquired about a potential trade for Redick during James' time there. In the one-and-a-half seasons that Redick was with the Pelicans, the team's record was below .500, so the Purple and Gold probably considered adding one of the best shooters in league history in 2020 and 2021.
It's possible that the Lakers were considering acquiring Redick in 2020 when he was still a productive Pelicans starter. Redick slipped during 2021, and the Pelicans quickly traded him to the Mavericks in exchange for some spare parts.
