JJ Redick to be Introduced by Lakers Monday. What to Watch For... Plus, It's NBA Draft Week!
Manage episode 425280410 series 1657213
The Lakers are introducing JJ Redick Monday as their next head coach, throwing a big ol' press conference to celebrate. Given that this is the first time they've spoken to the media since firing Darvin Ham right after the end of the playoffs, there will be much to discuss, not just about Redick himself, but everything that's led up to this moment.
Should be quite an afternoon!
Particularly since there's no body of work to reference, how Redick answers even the most basic questions will be heavily scrutinized. People will be looking for signs and subtext in virtually every comment. But it will undoubtedly be fascinating to get a feel for what attracted the Lakers to Redick and what his tenure might look like. What's different about this guy, with zero experience, that had the Lakers put him at the front of the line and essentially keep him there (HurleyGate aside)?
We've heard him as a players, broadcaster and podcaster, but it's different after you've been hired to coach the Lakers.
Plus, it's Draft week! There's a lot to get into, whether for Monday's press conference or beyond. The Lakers have some huge decisions to make around pick 17 in the first round. Will they keep it? If so, are they looking for best available, or to find a player with a specific skill that Redick values?
Finally... is this the year CP3 FINALLY becomes a Laker? It's certainly a possibility, but is it a good idea?
HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
SEGMENT 1: Hi, JJ!
SEGMENT 2: What should the Lakers be looking for in the Draft?
SEGMENT 3: CP... Maybe?
