The Los Angeles Lakers officially announced their new head coach on June 24, 2024. The retired sharpshooter JJ Redick, without any NBA coaching experience, has reached an agreement to become the new head coach. Redick, who had a 15-season career in the NBA, is known for working as an analyst for ESPN post-retirement. Despite facing criticism for his lack of coaching experience, the Lakers' general manager Rob Pelinka supports Redick, citing his unique basketball vision. Redick, who hosts a podcast with Lakers star LeBron James, will pause the show to focus on his coaching role.
