Los Angeles Lakers
New odds show a clear favorite to be next Lakers coach

The clock is audibly ticking down for the Los Angeles Lakers, who are still in need of a head coach just weeks before the NBA draft.
Their objective is to fill this vacancy before the draft, but accomplishing that task is proving to be more challenging than anticipated, especially after the public debacle surrounding their pursuit of UConn’s Dan Hurley.
According to BetOnline, as reported by Ryan Ward, JJ Redick is once again the leading candidate to assume the role of the Lakers’ head coach. He currently holds 1/5 odds, surpassing contenders like James Borrego (3/1), Sam Cassell (9/1), Chris Quinn (16/1), and others.
Following almost a week dominated by Hurley-related news and speculation, attention has shifted back to Redick. Just a week ago, it appeared that Redick was the clear frontrunner for the position, with various sources indicating that Jeanie Buss and Rob Pelinka valued his basketball acumen, his relationship with LeBron James, and his potential long-term commitment to the team. However, circumstances have rapidly evolved.
Recent reports suggest that Redick might be hesitant about joining the Lakers and could be displeased with being considered as the secondary option. Moreover, internal reports from the team indicate that certain players may not favor Redick’s personality.
For various reasons, Redick’s prospective move to Los Angeles seems to be on unstable ground. Nevertheless, the Lakers are running out of both options and time, necessitating a prompt decision. It’s possible they have another surprising selection in the works that will astonish the NBA world in the coming days. Nonetheless, betting markets indicate that Redick is poised to become the Lakers’ next head coach, though the question remains: does he truly desire this role?
