In a disappointing Lakers season, JJ Redick made plenty of mistakes, and the growing pains were clear in his first year on the job. While some may claim that he's no better than Darvin Ham, the latest intel suggests that the Lakers intend to keep Redick, and his job is safe for the time being.

JJ Redick was gentleman’s swept out of the first round during his first season as an NBA head coach, but the leash is still apparently a good amount longer for him.

JJ Redick did a lot right in his first-ever season as a head coach with the Los Angeles Lakers. Redick, who had never coached in the NBA, college or high school-level before taking the job, led the Lakers to an impressive 50-32 record in the 2024-25 campaign.
