As the Los Angeles Lakers intensify their search for a new head coach, speculation swirls around their top pick.
While it’s no secret in NBA circles, the chatter solidifies around JJ Redick as the frontrunner, a sentiment echoed by Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Recently, Mike Golic and Mike Golic Jr. sought out the former sharpshooter to probe into the rumors.
During his appearance on GoJo and Golic, Redick diverted attention, emphasizing his current focus on the NBA Finals. He expressed gratitude for his role as a commentator and analyst, juggling obligations with podcasts and business ventures.
Regarding Charania’s report, Redick deferred any discussion until the season’s end.

Although not elaborating further, his mention of Charania suggests there may be substance to the speculation.
Charania’s penchant for early news breaks isn’t without scrutiny, but his connections are unparalleled. Redick’s potential rebuttal adds intrigue to the mix, given his platform and outspoken nature.
