Lakers Starter Breaks Silence on JJ Redick Hire With Strong Take…

New Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick has a daunting task ahead of him, taking over as skipper for one of the NBA’s most storied franchises.

Getting his players to buy in is key, and Redick already has a headstart given his preexisting relationship with Lakers star LeBron James, his co-host on the “Mind The Game” podcast. The rookie head coach has more than James’ favor, though.

Prized contributor Austin Reaves delivered an emphatic endorsement of his new coach

“I’ve gotten to know JJ a little bit, going on his podcast during the middle of the year. He’s a basketball genius, I think as everybody knows. And I think he’s gonna make a good coach, and I can’t wait to get to work with him. He actually texted me yesterday and wanted to get on a call,” Reaves told THV11’s Cierra Clark on June 22. “I just can’t wait to put our brains together and go have a good year.”

This is another encouraging sign after Reaves’ agent, Aaron Reilly, told fans to keep tabs on the naysayers who suggested the Lakers need to trade for a third star.
