Yeah I'm pretty sure that's gonna show how easily he will unhinge. imagine in January when the lakers are below .500 and he's on the hot seat. How will he be like then? Season hasn't even started yet and he's already dropping the F bombs on his first press conference.

JJ can't afford to make any mistakes in strategy decisions in crucial situations. One or two missteps and Lebron will check out, he may not take over the huddle and shove JJ aside but he will not listen and will be visible to all the other players and dissension will boil up among the team. Especially any defensive adjustments that don't work out. JJ may have absorbed defensive concepts from his long NBA career but he was an offensive specialist and could not play much defense.
Their biggest obstacle is clearly espn

I didn't agree with JJ dropping the F-bomb live,. Why? because there are children and people who do not/should not want to hear that - the news conference is a public space. However, let's be consistent, when Mike Malone dropped an f-bomb during post game conference, or Ty Lue or Lebron, Luka or Jokic, I hope the same media personalities spoke out on those ...?
The biggest optical for JJ is gonna to be getting through a whole season without answering any of the allegations against him.
I'm want to be optimistic when it comes to JJ as a coach. Since he retired as a player I've had a chance to listen and see his basketball IQ and knowledge. And he appears to have the character and qualities for a coaching job. So I'm hopeful and looking forward to upcoming season. And to be honest as a Lakers fan looking at the all the teams in West, if we just make the playoffs, It'll be a successful season in my eyes.
YALL…lol cause we all know espn about to dissect everything single thing every single game, every single decision JJ makes
I don't give a F*#% like LBJ said like how bronny feels. That's how I feel every time they start talking about the Lakers and not the current champions
ROTY: type 1 or 2 1) Caitlin clark 2) Angel Reese
Biggest obstacle is that he only has elementary school coaching experience and is coaching a veteran team with two stars that have won a championship.... It's not really the roster lol
His biggest obstacle is walking into the coaches office for Lakers.
Molly with the shade
Lakers next season Lakers on a winning streak:"lebron the GOaT" Lakers on a losing streak:"jj needs to be fired"....ESPN takes
Put all the focus on jj reddick and bronny (no disrespect to bronny) and now we stuck with gabe Vincent and Vanderbilt coming off the bench it’s insane. We getting whooped up on all season
I love how ppl who’ve never even played in the nba can talk about how a former player wouldn’t be a good coach lol
His biggest obstacles are Lebron and the Lakers
Their court squad is like g-league. Not championship squad. Falling behind Boston, Philly, Denver etc..
D Lo, cam reddish and Hayes dude are still on the lakers roster. They just needed a JJ REDDICK to believe in them😂 Cam is on his 8th nba team in 5 years, by the way. Players who been on multiple teams in a few years is a BAD THING.

i agree, no experience and a mediocre roster. but they're already comparing him to pat riley (not sure why), pretty sure he'll be ok
Obviously his biggest obstacle is Lebron. Its no secert that Lebron is the hardest person to have on your team. He fired the coach, makes trades and drafts players. What can JJ even do besides make an attempt to keep his ego form overflowing.

The way I'd handle Lebron is to bring him into the coaches huddle during timeouts. He's one of the smartest basketball minds in the league, has a pulse on the players , the opposition, and the flow of the game. Why wouldn't you want his opinion? In the end, JJ should make the final decisions and learn where and when to rely on the experience and knowledge of Lebron and his other coaches.
JJ might be the Lakers next Pat Riley. The roster isn’t bad. Last year they just struggled.
As a Laker fan I’m not big on the JJ hire. I think it hurt us in free agency. We keep hearing how no one is going to out work JJ. Yet he won’t take the opportunity to get some coaching experience by coaching summer league. Lakers may have made a big mistake here.

It's definitely open season on the Laker hate on ESPN. They are going to nit pick on every single thing. Trashing JJ saying a curse word? Really? Next they are going to be saying he shouldn't be wearing an expensive name brand suit because it draws too much attention to him and not the team. Dude hasn't coached a single game and they are already talking like he's failed.
Why don’t we all just let jj be and not hang on every single word he says yes it’s his first time being a coach in the nba there’s gonna be plenty of things to learn and and honestly I believe jj will be able to overcome the learning curve. As for jj and lebron, jj is the head coach lebron is a player on his team he should treat him as a player
Don't forget Dallas???? Also this is ESPN's C crew! I disagree with all of their takes
This isnt first take, where are steven a smith and shamnon sharpe?

The obstacles are the management. They need to shut their mouths and allow coaches to coach. They need to hold players accountable regardless how much they pay these players.
