Lakers Hire JJ Redick. Did Rob Pelinka Get this Right? What Assistants Should be Targeted?

Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

At long (like, loooooong) last, the Lakers have finally hired a coach. As widely anticipated, save one brief/public with UConn's Dan Hurley, the new guy in town is JJ Redick, whose communication skills, charisma, and basketball intellect are being bet on to offset having never coached anybody older than children. Is this a brilliant roll of the dice? The Lakers flocking to the shiniest of objects and starriest of names without any real regard for a process? A little bit of both? Only time will tell, but there's a lot at stake for the purple and gold moving forward.

HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

Segment 1: Ladies and gentlemen, we have a coach!!!

Segment 2: Did the Lakers' contract signal real trust in Redick?
