JJ Redick has been introduced as the new head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, marking a significant career shift from his previous roles as a player, analyst, and podcaster. During his introductory press conference, Redick addressed concerns about his lack of coaching experience and responded to critics with strong language, stating, 'I don't give a f---.' He emphasized his commitment to building a championship-caliber team and outlined his coaching philosophy, which includes valuing positional versatility, three-point shooting, and playmaking to optimize LeBron James off the ball. The Lakers are also exploring trade options to strengthen their roster, with Jerami Grant as a potential target and their 17th overall pick available for trade. Redick's appointment has generated mixed reactions, with some praising his candidness and others criticizing his use of profanity.

I caught some of JJ Redick's presser. If the Lakers win as many titles as Redick dropped F-bombs, there will be plenty of parades in LA. I really enjoyed JJ on-air and wish him the best in his coaching venture. However, a presser is not the same as hosting a podcast.
