Anyone else feel a twinge of jealousy when it was announced that Cleveland was hiring Kenny Atkinson yesterday like I did? I don’t like that they landed a legit HC and we ended up with a newbie podcaster, friend of Lebron.

We missed out on him as an assistant. As a HC, meh. He was as good as the uninspired assistant coach pool that was vying for 3-4 spots.

Podcaster's job is to get clicks and views, I'm not sure it is a reflection of his coaching ability. Here I can say all kinds of things about LeBron but if all the sudden I was coaching him I would change my tune.

The guy just drinks wine and talks sht .Maybe I am missing the source of labeling jj a genius! I want some of that kool aid

Maybe you guys are changing your tones now , because I’ve been reading that he is the perfect man for the job and we are winning titles next yr and yr after …How can a podcaster talking head lands a HC job with the Biggest team in sports ! You tell me how the heck jj landed this job ? If he is just a click click click bait .

how do you land this job with an empty resume and no experience? I’ll wait for your reply to get me out of my ignoramus POV . Did he sleep with Jeanie ? It’s sucks Jerry west died and jj still alive

…. let’s think about that for a second.

Do you spam a bunch of weird personal hate for someone you’ve never met all over a great Lakers website daily ….. constantly pissing fellow members of the site off, who want to talk about the coming season and how it is going to be magnitudes better coached (most of us think) than what Darvin Ham gave us ….. that made US crazy about “legitimate” coaching issues?

And because of your personal vendetta about this guy …. does a “ true laker fan” then say he wants the Lakers to go 0-82?

Pot meet kettle? Can you try talking basketball again please?

Woike spoke with Stan to get his take on JJ

Before Redick’s introductory news conference on Monday, I spoke with Stan Van Gundy about Redick and coaching at the NBA level.

Redick wondered about the moment, the evening in late October this year when the Lakers open the season and the national anthem plays. How hard will his heart pump as he lines up next to his new team, the one he gets to run, for the first time?

“What is that feeling going to be like?” Redick said with curiosity.

When it comes to coaching, Redick acknowledged there’s a lot he’s going to need to learn.

“I have never coached in the NBA before. I don’t know if you guys have heard that,” he joked early in his introductory news conference on Monday.

Pregame anxiety is one thing that Redick has never experienced as a coach. That seems like sort of a fun thing to project. The postgame torture that’s guaranteed, though? It’s a different animal.

Stan Van Gundy, Redick’s former coach, said there’s a long list of things Redick is going to have to deal with in his transition from player-turned-broadcaster to broadcaster-turned-coach. And while he believes in his former player’s ability to figure it out and succeed, there are just some things you have to experience first.

“He’s a guy who took losing very hard as a player,” Van Gundy said of Redick during a phone interview with The Times on Monday. “And It’s nothing compared to the way that will hit him as a coach, that first game that he loses at the buzzer or down close by two, you know, at the end. And that stuff tears you up.

“It tears you up.”

Van Gundy said Redick will have to adjust to the vast responsibilities and pressure an NBA coach faces on game day.

“I remember Chuck Daly saying a long time ago that, um, you know, a pro coach, an NBA coach makes more decisions in the last two minutes of a game than a college coach makes in an entire season,” Van Gundy said. “So, you know, so there’s just a lot going on.”

There are obviously the multitude of in-game decisions tasked to a coach, ranging from big-picture implementation of philosophies down to coaching players to set screens at specific angles (something Redick mentioned during his news conference Monday). But there are also heaps of logistics, Van Gundy said, managing practice schedules, helping organize travel plans (and hotel preferences) and being responsible as a leader in a way that no other NBA job really requires.

“You’ve got a lot of stuff that you have to do,” Van Gundy said. “And so you know, it’s just a day of decisions and managing your time becomes a real big one because you know, you’re in there, you’re trying to get work done, you’re trying to get time to think, watch, film, whatever and everybody wants a piece of your time.”

Van Gundy coached Redick in Orlando for five seasons. He said the long list of decisions and responsibility, to him, make it more plausible for someone like Redick to become a head coach without any experience as an assistant because assistant coaches don’t carry the same responsibilities as a head coach.

“Even when you’ve been an assistant, you’re not ready until you do it,” Van Gundy said. “You’re just not. So I don’t look at that as debilitating in any way. Like until you’re sitting in the head coach’s chair and handling all of those responsibilities, you’re not ready.

“JJ will be fine with all that. I don’t think there’s anything that we’re talking about that’s beyond him or even close to beyond him. I mean, he’ll be fine. But there’s a learning curve. And you know, the Lakers could have somebody who could be very, very good for a long, long time. But, it’s going to take a little time, and they’ve got to give him some time.”

Hours later, Redick said he knew he needed to give himself some grace because his standards for himself are so high.

“I’m not going to be perfect. I know that, right?” Redick said. “The pursuit of perfection, which I’ve tried my whole life, I’ve recognized you’re never going to get there.”

That’s helpful perspective. Because in this job, your heart is guaranteed to race. And it’s guaranteed to break.

And then you do it again the next game

Good question

Sounds like Stan would be a good get for JJ to transition to the head coach because he understands the details
