The NBA Finals came to an end on Monday night, with the Boston Celtics winning their 18th world championship and surpassing the Los Angeles Lakers for the most league titles. The Lakers have been looking for a new head coach since they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, with JJ Redick emerging as the top candidate for the position.
Over the weekend, Redick was formally interviewed by the team and sources suggest that he is frontrunner for the job. However, there has been no official confirmation yet regarding his hiring. Anthony Irwin, a Lakers insider, suggested that Redick has already been hired as their head coach, while Shams Charania stated that there is currently no agreement between the Lakers and Redick.
The pressure is on for the Lakers to make a decision on their next head coach as soon as possible. With just a week left until the NBA draft, they must finalize their coaching position before it’s too late. This story was originally published on LeBron Wire.
