The Los Angeles Lakers just lately made the huge transfer to rent former NBA participant and analyst JJ Redick to be the staff’s subsequent head coach.
His contract will go on for the subsequent 4 years.
Many alternative pundits and media members have had their takes on this choice by Los Angeles, and Fox Sports activities’ Colin Cowherd got here at it from a special angle.
“This roster was built for Darvin Ham…It is not built for JJ Redick, and I think there’s a trade partner…Think about Oklahoma City…They don’t have enough girth…With AD, SGA and Chet, you can give yourself a shot,” Cowherd just lately stated on The Herd.

Cowherd clearly doesn’t consider Redick can coach this Lakers staff to a excessive sufficient degree that they are often championship contenders.
Maybe he believes that Redick, at 39, can not lead Lebron James, who can be 39, and Anthony Davis, who’s shifting towards the backend of his prime at 31.
The Lakers made this rent understanding that Redick and James are good pals.
In spite of everything, they co-hosted a podcast collectively final season known as Thoughts the Sport.
If James is within the fold with Redick, it will be exhausting to consider they’d commerce away a future Corridor of Fame large man in Davis.
Search for Redick and the Lakers to construct round these gamers for the subsequent few years.
It is a staff that has solely gained one championship in 14 years, and if you find yourself the Los Angeles Lakers, that’s unacceptable.
