On June 21, it was reported that Redick will become the new head coach of the Lakers on a four-year deal. Lakers’ President Pelinka approached him earlier today with the job offer, and Redick is already in the process of assembling his coaching staff.
Perkins expressed skepticism, stating, “I want to see how this affects Davis. I’ll wait until All-Star Weekend. If Redick doesn’t perform well, if Davis doesn’t perform well and he’s unhappy, honestly, if he asks for a trade to get out of L.A., I wouldn’t be surprised. I’ll be watching up until All-Star Weekend.”
Former Heat legend Haslem suggested that Redick consider hiring Rondo as an assistant coach. He commented, “Brother, what I would say is, the Lakers could bring in Rondo as an assistant. Considering his relationship with Davis, if Redick thinks about it, it would be smart. Because he could serve as a messenger, telling Redick what kind of offense Davis wants. Davis has a lot of trust in LeBron, and trust is crucial in today’s league. It stabilizes the locker room and unites everyone. And Davis trusts Rondo a lot.”
Famous commentator A. Smith tweeted about Redick’s signing with the Lakers, saying, “Congratulations to my friend Redick. Anyone who knows you knows how much you’ve wanted to coach. Wishing you all the best.”
Chinese media personality “Detective Zhao” posted: “The Lakers really signed Redick! On a four-year contract. ‘New Riley’ is here, and the sky is darkening for Lakers fans.”
Media personality “Shen Zhiyu” wrote: “Redick gets his wish with a four-year deal to join the Lakers. Wine tasting and chess games with LeBron can now happen in the office.”
Media personality “Liang Shuangfu” shared: “Redick’s coaching staff could include Rondo, Dudley, Cassell, and former NBA head coach Scott Brooks.”
