Expectations are at their peak to see where the new project of Los Angeles Lakers is headed, led from the bench by a JJ Redick who has taken on a monumental challenge to start his coaching career. In last-minute statements, the former sharpshooter explains his game plan and why he deserves this opportunity.
More skepticism than enthusiasm surrounds Los Angeles Lakers in this new phase. The lack of signings, the circus created around Bronny, and the decision to choose JJ Redick as head coach have led many purists to regret the show-like direction the Angelino franchise seems to have taken. However, the former NBA player is taking on this new phase in his life with responsibility and seems to have some things clear.
- What to do with Bronny James
"I see in him a young player with great potential to be a star. He is our first player project to mold and help develop. We will consider the G-League as an important step in his maturation process, something that will happen sooner or later, after discussing it both with him and with LeBron."
- Roles for Anthony Davis and LeBron James
"The priority is to give all power to Davis. If he aims to finish the season as an MVP candidate and on the All-NBA First Team, we will provide him with all the tools he needs. With LeBron, we will ensure he has as much freedom as possible to be creative and score, but within a system that allows other players to be important as well."
- Why I deserve to be the coach of Los Angeles Lakers
"I think there's a misconception when it comes to deserving or not an opportunity like this. It's the franchise's responsibility to find a coach that fits what the organization and the team demand, regardless of the skills or experience one may have. I feel an extreme level of gratitude for the fact that they have bet on me, but I also firmly believe I deserve this opportunity. I may not have seven years of assistant coaching in the league, but I have been giving my all for 32 years in the art of basketball."
