JJ Redick is leaving the broadcast headset for a Los Angeles Lakers clipboard, as the 15-year NBA veteran is reportedly becoming the team's next head coach.
JJ Redick is turning in the headset for a clipboard, as he's reportedly joining the Los Angeles Lakers as their new head coach. Redick has agreed to a four-year deal with the Lakers after GM Rob Pelinka offered him the job Thursday morning, according to ESPN. Redick has never been a coach in the NBA, but the 39-year-old played 15 seasons with six different franchises from 2006-21. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.
'One of the worst takes I've heard is that this is a leverage play by me to improve my situation at UConn,' the Huskies coach said during a recent appearance on 'The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz.' Redick recently had a formal interview with the Lakers, and that meeting was clearly all the front office needed to have to believe, despite his lack of coaching experience, he can lead this team next season.
