JJ Reddick doesn't seem like he would be a great coach, but it does look like he would let Lebron be the coach. That is what we are seeing here, obviously Reddick would have some responsibilities, I am not saying that he is going to do absolutely nothing, he will be the head coach and he will do a lot, I am just saying he won't be able to say no to Lebron.
Give him a chance, a lot of coach before that tend to be good after being hired were misjudged. So, that's what I wanna say.

I even thought that it's going to be Rajon Rondo that will be coaching the Lakers so that the rumor that I've read before is a false one unless there will still be some assisting position for him to the Lakers.

I'm not here to judge but all I want to say is to give him a chance as the new season hasn't come yet and it's the Lakers decision to do changes what they think is right thing to do.

I can't see any reason for the Lakers to let go Anthony Davis to the Chicago Bulls. I know some of the reasons why the Lakers didn't do well this season were because they didn't have good big man who could handle Nikola Jokic. Maybe instead of trading Davis, they will add a young big man like Deandre Ayton or Clint Capela. For sure, adding either of these two will help the Lakers when it comes to the paint. I know Capela and Ayton didn't fit well with their current teams, but I see them playing better with the current roster of the LA Lakers.

So, if JJ is saying something and Lebron agrees then JJ is being head coach on that moment, and that would be majority of the situations, but if Lebron says no then JJ has no chance but let Lebron do whatever he wants in that case. This is not a bad idea, considering it could be very last season of Lebron, just let him the coach, which could be what he will do after he retires to begin with.

I’m seeing news reports that the Lakers are finalizing a deal to make JJ Redick their new head coach. This will make people crazy as LeBron already has a podcast with him. With LeBron getting the coach he wanted, you have to start thinking that maybe he’ll get them to draft Bronny too. Next season will be another drama filled one for the Lakers. Anthony Davis trade to Chicago? Talks happening there too…

That's a strange decision by the Lakers management. In fact, they fired one inexperienced head coach and plan to hire a rookie head coach who is even more inexperienced. If this is LeBron's initiative, then yes, we can expect Bronny to sign with the Lakers as well. Probably, the Lakers management is doing this just to keep LeBron on the team for at least one more season.

Yeah, it was also a surprised that they are going to get JJ Reddick as a coach as I think he doesn't have the experienced to head a team like the Lakers with superstars like Lebron James and Davis. So this could be another mistake for them, like getting Ham as a coach and then he didn't get the respect of the players.

So let's see though how Reddick will do, I guess him being a loud mouth and being in the social media platform really paid dividends for him. Although if the management didn't get what they wanted from him, I wouldn't be surprised that he will be out as well.

This is probably the last season of Lebron with the Lakers if they'll not get in the NBA Finals again. Of course, Davis is very vital, although there's a rumor about him getting traded, I think that will not happen as long as Lebron will allow it. The lakers now is being dictated by Lebron, they don't want to loss him so they'll give everything they have just to make him stay.

JJ Redick coaching a controvertial team, this is certainly challenging for him but let's give him a chance, not because he does not have an experience we can expect he'll fail. I'm sure the management have considered a lot of factors before making their decision to hire him.

Lakers are more concern of the fans watching the team, and they know without Lebron, there will be a big decline of interest to the team. Lakers doesn't need to win a championship, maybe reaching to the playoffs is already a big success at their status now. A coach whether rookie or not, what's important is that he can create great chemistry to the team for them to be as one, and let us not forget that all coaches starts as rookie.

As we can read below, there are already 5 rookie coaches that won an NBA finals if I'm not mistaken.

Mazzulla looks to become sixth rookie coach to win NBA title

Mazzulla failed that time as the Warriors beat them, but there's a good development for him and to the team as a whole as they are back in the FINALS now.
Hmm, I thought it was still Ime Udoka as the coach of the Boston Celtics in the 2022 finals against the Warriors? I might have been wrong though, I'm just basing everything from my memory during that time.
Ime Udoka was suspended and Mazzulla assume the job as a interim head coach but later became permanent. he is just following the system so there's no much really of an adjustment, but still they loss in the NBA Finals.

The Celtics still have Marcus Smart and then the Warriors with Jordan Poole, his old version and not the Washington version of him playing, Lol. Anyhow, it seems that both teams have now a well deserved rest going into the finals. But up to know, the Celtics is the favorite as per odd makers, but still this finals is very unpredictable. Others have arguing about the experience of the Boston Celtics and then at the other side of the spectrum, Kyrie has been in the finals and won, while Luka doesn't have but he is not a choker.

Jordan was really a huge help on that success, but after he sign a max contract, his game started to decline. And yes,Marcus smart is an elite defender,  but unfortunately his contribution in the offense hasn't been felt a lot, so now they have Holiday who could contribute on both ends and a good playmaker as well.

Mazzulla failed that time as the Warriors beat them, but there's a good development for him and to the team as a whole as they are back in the FINALS now.

He will have his chance starting June 7 on the first game of the NBA Finals series. I loved the Celtics now, I think they are more improved since they acquired Holiday and KP, but this is the NBA finals, it's also important how the coaches will strategies to win. Luka and Irving are now hyped compared to Tatum and Brown, but overall the Celtics were the better team based on their regular season record.

2nd attempt of Mazzulla, I hope he'll fail. LOL... Honestly, I'm a Dallas Mavericks fans, so I'd be happy if the Celtics will loss again.

2nd attempt and this time he's more experienced than his counter part though Kidd is not new to this kind of situation, but this time he's not facilatating the floor, he's guiding and orchestrating the system and it will going to depend from both Kyrie and Luka to share the ball and execute the play.

On the Boston side,  Like you said KP and Jrue are both 2-way players who can bring something decent in terms of backing up the thier own power-duo, plus those role players who can really contribute not just offensively but also in their defense.

A game of good chemistries and good blending of players that will play inside, the hungrier will win the series and will bring the title back to their city.

I just voted and i have to say i expect much more people involved in the voting.

Aside of that when i voted Boston has 3 votes and Dallas only one, which i think is very similar to my point of view about this final, if you ask me Boston have 75% chance of winning th title.

I really want to see what and how is the develop of the first match between them to have any clue.

I voted for the Boston Celtics. I think they just have a deeper team and will be able to figure out a way to beat the Mavericks over a series. Dallas I feel like will be depending on Luka to have a magic night and carry them to a win. I think that’s possible for a game or two, but I don’t think he’s got enough magic to win the whole series.

Same here, I also voted for the Celtics to win this series. And that's why it's good to have a best of 7 matches, because there could be games that Luka will have his magic and take a win for them. But at the end of the day, Boston has deeper bench and almost the core of the team has been with them in 2022, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown and Al Horford and others, so the chemistry is their already.

Most likely it could be in six games, Boston winning 4-2. But let's see, there are a lot of Dallas fans here, just because they have Luka.

Yeah, I had been watching all those episodes of JJ Redick's podcast with Lebron James and I can say I learned a lot about basketball because of it. I never thought there was a deeper strategy when it comes to playing the game. It's not that simple to shoot the ball or pass it. Cheesy

Here is the news about the coaching job.
Report: JJ Redick front-runner over James Borrego for Lakers head coaching job
https://sports.yahoo.com/report-jj-redick-front-runner-over-james-borrego-for-lakers-head-coaching-job-213426789.html
I would like it if he would stick as a sports analyst who specializes in basketball but this will be his decision if he wants a coaching job. Perhaps he will learn more when he becomes a coach. Then he can become like Stan Van Gundy when the Lakers kick him out as a coach, doing his job with ESPN again and sharing his thoughts about the game.
I do like him as a sportscaster because of his unique and easy-to-understand voice but I think he wants to try to coach.

Isn't it he also influence the management to hire coach Darvin Ham?
After failing and now he wants another one. I think it's not the coach that is the problem with the Lakers, but the players or their best player which is Lebron. He can still generate the points he wanted but in terms of impact, it's not the same anymore, so as long as he is still the main man of the team, Lakers will never win another championship again.


Especially if this one will happen.

He's always like that. He likes the coach even before his coaching starts, and when he sees that he isn't a good fit for the team, he will just do whatever he wants to fire that coach. Happened with Darvin Ham, Frank Vogel and almost to Spo back when he's on the Heat, but Pat Riley love Coach Spo so much that they just choose to trade Le-GM than firing Coach Spo.

I will not be surprised if it will happen with JJ Redick as well, but let's see on how he will handle the Lakers (if he really will be their new head coach). Can I ask if Le-GM will stay with the Lakers and will opt-in on his final year on the contract? Because I watched a video weeks ago regarding Laker fans really hating him because of how manipulative he is to the whole team like he's the main leader of the whole franchise. Davis to Chicago? I don't think that the Lakers will let him go knowing they gave him a new contract already and he's in full shape already with fewer injuries compared to him a few years ago. He got lesser injuries this year, so I have doubts if he will be going to the Bulls. My 2 cents. Smiley

Who else can relate?
I really can relate to this, waiting for the NBA finals to start. Since Mavericks versus Boston Celtics is an exciting match for this finals.
I believe there will be some sleepless nights for some countries as the times of the games are different for some countries.

I voted for the Boston Celtics, and as much as I love the Mavs specially with Luka doing everything this playoff, I'm seeing that the Celtics has so much power here and their bench is deep as well and they have a good defensive presence with Holiday and White taking turns in guarding Luka and Kyrie. The Mavs though might have a advantage on the middle, but KP is coming back in the series and you can't discount the veteran Al Horford who also has a outside shooting and he can bring out one big man if he stays in the perimeter. And throughout the regular seasons, they've seen in all, switches, screens and they've won most of the game.

Just a matter of who is going to win the finals MVP. If Luka perform very well just like in the Wolves series, who knows, maybe we will get a MVP from a losing team.
And the Celtics has been in the finals before and they've experience failures, maybe they will channel their energy again and doesn't want to felt that disappointment.

The voting is live. Who will be the NBA champion in this Final series? Smiley

Celtics or Mavericks?
There are not that many voters.

I hope that everyone is going to vote on the poll.

The sentiment of many is that it's going to be the Celtics. But I think that how the Mavs able to get back on the NBA finals is also what everyone is liking.

I even see memes that Lakers fans are going with the Mavs.  Grin

It's not going to be Luka that's going to be the key player of the Mavs on this finals but it's gonna be Kyrie who have been there before.

Luka definitely has that talent, and we do see him being quite motivated as well which means that he does what he needs to win the title. Doesn't mean that he will, but it makes it possible and that's what matters. I keep telling people that we are going to see Jokic drop in a steep way, because he doesn't care, and no matter how talented you are, even if three times MVP level, you are going to become very very bad eventually if you do not care enough.

Luka is not like that, he is both talented and have that fire in him, which is why I think he is going to be great. I still think nobody is mad like Kobe, even MJ wasn't as mad as Kobe, but at the very least we need young stars who take the game seriously so Luka is a better example to kids than Jokic is.
