More on this storyline
Dave McMenamin: The Lakers have expressed interest in Dwane Casey joining JJ Redick’s staff as an asst coach, sources told ESPN. Casey has been in coaching nearly 30 years, including head jobs with MIN, TOR and DET. The 2018 Coach of the Year is currently a front office associate for the Pistons -via Twitter @mcten / June 28, 2024
Pelinka said Redick grabbed a whiteboard and began designing pindown actions and after-timeout (ATO) plays for Knecht moments after the selection. “That’s really exciting,” Knecht told reporters in New York when relayed Redick’s planning. “At Tennessee, I watched a lot of JJ Redick with Coach (Rick) Barnes and just the way he moves and paces himself and was able to create space. So, hearing that, it’s really exciting and it’s going to be real special.” -via New York Times / June 27, 2024
The Lakers are still searching for former head coaches to join JJ Redick’s coaching staff. Among the names they are said to have pursued: Dwane Casey (who moved into a front office role in Detroit after coaching the Pistons for five seasons through 2022-23) and Jacque Vaughn (who was fired by the Nets after just a year-plus in charge in February). -via marcstein.substack.com / June 26, 2024
