    Personnel matters, but with such glaring mistakes this series, can you confidently say he will have the experience to not make other mistakes next year playoff? With the Lakers, every year is championship or bust, do we have the patience to let JJ learn on the job?

    ^I would sure hope so... Intense but very detailed. In the end Redick improved us in droves but the postseason exposed his inexperience. He'll be fine.

    I think JJ is here for the long haul. I'm hoping for a Jerry Sloan type of tenure but with better results. Maybe it's not what he wants, and maybe someday he burns out or burns out the players, but I think he's a great fit for the long term.

    i think he had very few options and made a couple poor choices in the playoffs. i'm not sour on him, though. i want to see what he does with a roster better suited to luka and a summer and training camp to develop sensible schemes on both ends. it's not easy to integrate a piece like that in a few weeks.

    Remember when some of us thought, he was keeping his cards close to his vest, not letting other teams know our plays, saving a "surprise" for the playoffs? And boy, he did :D... turning into a combo of Mikey D and Thibs, ooof.

    Reddick did a commendable job in the regular season getting us to third in the jam packed West. Unfortunately he made some mistakes as a rookie in the playoffs. But I think he’ll learn from it. It became clear quickly that he didn’t have the guns to go all the way this year. No playable center was a death knell.

    I’ll admit I was one of them. I was like, “If he’s exposing guys like Joker and KAT in the regular season, just wait to see what he cooks up in the lab for the playoffs “. Boy was I wrong :rofl:

    I take into account that this season was disjointed during the last third (?). Chemistry was being built but the James injury really did not help. Doncic still acclimating his game with the others too. Redick was left to just throwing whatever sticks. Learning on the job while everything was in flux. He'll learn.
