He's never led grown men who's salaries could depend on the success and failure of the plays he calls or doesn't call. I keep hearing people mention high I.Q., basketball savant, how he's meticulous and driven. Like he's the only individual to possess those qualities. The biggest slap in the face would be fielding more qualified assistant coaches who the Lakers didn't even bother to interview thanks to the LeBron J.J. dynamic.

The Lakers are one of those teams to have won a championship in the last 6 years

I think history will remember Reddick as a coach rather than a player.

The whole "he can be a playmaker and take that responsibility away from LeBron" is what they said about Russ, and we saw how that worked out. He's a better shooter than Russ, which helps, but I don't think Bron is going to be willing to step away from playmaking. And the defense is rough. AD is great but the team needs more than that, and getting rid of Vandy in this deal would hurt their defense even more. I'd rather focus on getting better role players than another star. This superteam stuff rarely works

Not at all. PHX has a terrible fit issue. Trae wouldn’t be a fit issue with Lebron and Davis.

Trae AD and Bron would be elite. Im praying this happens, it’ll be amazing to witness offensively. Trae gets steals, and he avgs 10 assists. That level of play making would be overwhelming. Vando in the starting lineup helps defensively. Plus, they’d keep Reaves.

How are people still thinking the Nuggets are favorites in the West? They are losing KCP for nothing, OKC got Caruso, Wolves already beat Denver and have their entire team next year. There's no way the Nuggets are going to win the west

That's a good point about Trae taking some pressure away from JJ, but he'd also add, but he'd also add the pressure right back, creating a potential 3-headed monster, that would increase the Lakers expectations for a title run

It’s not about JJ Redick’s aptitude, capabilities or potential, he checks those boxes; it’s the fact that he’s never been a coach at any level.

as a laker fan sayig this... THIS WILL END IN A DISASTER.

What's Collin talking about. OKC has gotten big names when they were available. Did he forget Paul George and Carmello Anthony played there? And CP3

Facts

Media folks crawling out of the wood work acting like coaching in the NBA requires no experience. If that's true why haven't y'all been bringing this up every time a coaching job comes up? The most accurate thing you can say about Reddick is that no one knows if he'll be a successful coach, but odds are he'll be fired with a losing record after 2 - 3 years. Y'all sound crazy.

Why would the Hawks take that ridiculous offer for Trae Young? 😂😂😂😂

Reaves is the best thing about the lakers he gives me john Stockton vibes

If Young came to the Lakers, I'd actually root for my team for the first time since we had Lonzo, Ingram, DeLo, and Randle. Damn, that would have been fun to see develope. But Young is fun to watch.

Umm.... 40 yr. old Bron is still a Laker. That's L.A.'s problem.

You pick mavs in 6 don't listo this man😂😂😂

Lakers were 7th last season in 3 point percentage. Why is Colin saying they were 28th?

I don’t think Colin understands the cap at all! The statement of the 18mil is not accurate at all and the AD trade can’t happen because contracts don’t add up.

Can we stop with the lie that Trae Young is an elite 3 point shooter. He is not. His career high 3pt % was 38% in 22-23 and his career average is 35%. The NBA average 3pt % last year was 35%. In other words, Trae Young is average but he shoots a lot and from well beyond the line so we have this false narrative about him. The Lakers should do a hard pass on this guy. We can just keep DLo since neither player plays defense.

Trae would be fine for the Lakers if he could be the point guard and direct the offense. Somebody else on the Lakers who isn't a point guard wouldn't let that happen.

This would not beat t wolves or denver. Probably would make another play in at best.
