JJ Redick clarified today that while he does envision a 9-man rotation for the Lakers, that is not set in stone and he is willing to adapt if necessary.

I'm really coming around on this group

Lakers in 5

Austin Reaves is really liking what the coaching staff is doing

The players "buying in" got me feeling them championship feels

AD for MVP

Why did we not hire Rondo if he wants an assistant coaching gig

"Those that know James best say he craves structure and accountability. He thrives in disciplined, highly organized systems. He does his best when everyone on the team understands their role. All are elements he had lost faith in under the Lakers' previous regime, sources said."

"Redick's job is to create that kind of environment as quickly as possible, and his schedule represents that effort. Mornings start early, with weights and conditioning. At 10:30, he hosts a classroom session for younger players. Practice begins at 11. Each day new concepts and systems are being installed. Players' workload is tracked each day; then pored over by the performance and coaching staff.

There's room for deviation. After practice, Redick decided to grant James' request for a DJ, though no one is sure yet who is paying for it, or how long it'll last. Redick tries to get home in time to grill hamburgers or hotdogs for his kids' dinner.

"I've tried to be super intentional about my time," Redick said. In everything he has the team do and everything he does and says."

Guards vs Bigs

I got faith in these week ass niggas

Bronny James on JJ Redick: “He's a great coach so far. It's been amazing vibes in the facility so far. I feel like it's upped the vibes from what it was last year from what I've heard.”

Greg St Jean is responsible for the Lakers offense. He won a championship with us in 2020 as a player's development coach.

Bob Beyer is responsible for the Lakers defense. He was a former Charlotte and Orlando assistant.

JJ Redick says Cam Reddish is making progress with the ankle soreness and there's hope that he'll return to live-action soon.
