Yep, The Trajan Langdon/duke connection is real
JJ Red!ck becomes next HC of the LA Lakers
Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD
<--- Cleveland Browns winning that many, boi!
So why is JVG getting a lead assistant spot and hes been out of coaching longer than mark? Unless you think JVG isbt going to take a head job
JVG got a assistant job not head coach lol
no one hiring him to be a head coach anymore

I still can't believe he was serious about pursuing coaching. All I could think about was him crying on Old Man and the Three announcing his retirement, and telling his wife he was ready to help out with school drop offs and bedtime and to his sons he was ready to be a full time dad.
Did that for a couple of years and said "F*ck them kids" and ran back to the most stressful job in the league
Same. I thought he and his wife loved living in Brooklyn. To me he had a sweet gig with the old man and the three podcast and now the pod with Lebron. Plus the ESPN gig. I mean you're gonna have to put both of those on the backburner now. I'm not sure a head coach of a NBA TEAM is gonna have a podcast

Was JJ ever even a locker room leader during his career. Like the Marcus Smart, Haslem type players where you could see them maybe being a coach one day
When he was on the sixers it was a lot of disfunction but I don't remember him ever been profiled as a dude who was getting the locker room together as a player

We need you in the Lakers thread. We have been saying the same thing for a while.
I started working with them in 2018
Has the chaos been better, worse or the same since Kobe died?

he said Reddikk has a good basketball mind before the coaching question but I took his answer more so as saying Reddikk will realize he didn't know wtf he was talking about if he ever becomes a coach
Doc never takes accountability for his Ls tho so maybe whatever beef they had Reddikk was actually right

I honestly don't know how to feel about this move. Because Kerr and Doc Rivers both came from the booth and had great success. JJ has also played under some good and great coaches. (Coach K, Stan Van Gundy, Doc). Obviously there's gonna be a lot of talk about JJ walking his way into a hc gig being white. While a proven winner like Sam I am can't get a look. Not cool. Now I do think JJ can make a good coach. I don't like the fit with the Lakers because they are expecting championships.
Pros- Sees the game from a player standpoint and from the booth
Played under great head coaches.
Hasn't been retired long so he can connect with both young players and veterans. He's not out of touch like most old coaches.
Knows the game- will be great in xs and os
Cons- No HC experience
relationship with Bron may rub teammates the wrong way
Lakers org is delusional thinking this is a championship team
This one is unknown- How will he treat his assistants? Will he lean on them for experience or will he think he's the smartest guy in the room and act like he's above them.
