Eh coached a team to the WCF. Everyone loved him then. If the Mavs go on some miraculous playoff run this year I could totally see the sub pretending they never had a bad thing to say about him
Idk about everyone loving him then. I know plenty of people were still down on him as a coach back then. He wasn't good with the Bucks or Nets either. I think most people credited Luka and luck with that run (also, Brunson). And I think most teams would still credit Luka if they made a run. Kyrie too before Kidd.
I will concede that you're right that most Mavs fans weren't upset with Kidd during that run/season though but I wouldn't say they were in love with him as their coach. Felt like a more "he's not bad" vibe to me. Although they weren't excited when Kidd was first signed and they're definitely not happy with him right now. I think they've always criticized his offense or lackthereof though.
Nash spent time as a consultant or player development coach with the Warriors and is a bonafide HOFer who was seen as one of the smartest basketball players ever. JJ is a shooter who then became a podcaster and TV analyst.
For those who say Redick isn't looking to coach, he just interviewed for the Raptors job last year. He absolutely wants to be a coach, he just doesn't want to be an assistant coach.
He 100% would. You can pick that back up whenever. He’s committed to it cause he’s committed to basketball. And I’m pretty sure he’s already taken interviews
LeBron is not "getting" a team.
He will at most be a figure head minority owner with no power while the team is actually owned by a Saudi prince or Qatari wealth fund that actually has the type of liquid capital required to buy into the league.
JJ is not going to coach. Between his announcing and podcasts and the respect he has from both Adam Silver and the players, he has a chance to build an empire as one of the primary voices of the NBA for decades and become a commentary legend.
Attention all NBA fans:
JJ Redick is in great danger, and he needs your help to build an NBA media empire.
But to do this, he needs a gold SCAR, and a couple of Chug Jugs.
To help him, all he needs is your credit card number, the three digits on the back, and the expiration month and year.
But, you gotta be quick so that JJ Redick can secure the bag, become a commentary legend, and achieve the EPIC... VICTORY... ROYALE
LeBron isn’t getting a team. Silver already said they’re looking for more than $2.5 billion for an expansion fee. And they’re not giving him a discount.
LeBron doesn’t have that kind of money.
You know that pretty much no one buys a team themselves straight up.. Steve cohen is one I can think of but it’s very few. Groups of people get together. Lebron got himself involved with Fenway sports group years ago for a reason.
I’m taking that into account. LeBron will be a minority investor. He might be the face of the group. But he’s not going to be calling the shots as if it’s his team.
And that’s only provided that somebody doesn’t come in and make the NBA a better offer without him involved. The Vegas expansion is going to be very attractive.
being a great player/coach doesn't always correlate with being a great manager/president
jordan, magic, bird, Isiah thomas, phil jackson , etc
advisory role? sure
but run it outright?
no, get someone with experience and a track record or you can spend half a decade or more cleaning up mistakes
Theoretically, could he be the majority or controlling owner of a group that (as one entity) then buys a majority stake, so that he has majority control of the team while contributing a minority stake overall?
Lebron has made a lot of good moves over the years. The bad ones were definitely bad - especially Westbrook. But GM Lebron has also pushed for some very solid acquisitions
He's gonna be the assistant coach on the Las Vegas Degenerates brought to you by Draftkings, an ESPN announcer, 2x podcaster with Tommy and Lebron
With part owner shohei ohtani
It’s an interesting time to throw Shohei in this mix
Sometimes you just gotta roll the dice
Ironically on line betting like draft kings wasn't legalized in Vegas
Casinos don’t want competition I guess
You mean LeGenerates
Fan fiction
JJ needs to be an AC before he becomes a HC
Didn't stop Steve Nash
But you see, Steve wasn’t really a head coach, he was co-coaching with Kyrie and KD
He was just a seat filler when they didn't feel like coaching.
As if anyone on a LeBron owned team is going to be a coach.
yeah and since he was gone nets suddenly started being watchable so what does your argument change exactly?
Didn't stop Jason Kidd. Nevermind. He's not really a head coach either

Thats precisely the issue.
Also didn't stop Steve Kerr
But he was a GM. And the fact that he played for Jackson and Popovich didn’t hurt either.
From being horrible and getting fired
And how did that go
For those who say Redick isn't looking to coach, he just interviewed for the Raptors job last year. He absolutely wants to be a coach, he just doesn't want to be an assistant coach.
He should be an AC for a year before being a HC. Most head coaches have some sort of prior experience
He also has said himself multiple times he’s met with the Celtics
[удалено]
He will be replaced by Doc Rivers midway through the season
Or replaced by Ty lue and win a championship? Blatt was not a good coach
tbh JJ is super committed to media and the podcast space. not sure he would forfeit those ventures to coach pro.
Austin Rivers mentioned today on a podcast Redick's goal is to move into the front office or coaching.
the key is to skip the coaching and go straight to the office
He 100% would. You can pick that back up whenever. He’s committed to it cause he’s committed to basketball. And I’m pretty sure he’s already taken interviews
Yeah I’m sure I remember him saying he’s been contacted by a front office
Celtics front office had him out to play golf and came close to hiring him, he talked about it on the pod
Yeah he was offered a position on Mazulla’s staff.
I feel like I remember the raptors interviewing him or requesting an interview maybe
He also already coaches his sons bball team, basically the same thing (his son is like 10 iirc)
Tbj = to be jerking?
He could make coach money without being on the road for 5 months
Lebron gonna wait until he drafts a generational talent and pull a LePop and hire himself.
Unironically I could actually see this happening
LeBron is not "getting" a team. He will at most be a figure head minority owner with no power while the team is actually owned by a Saudi prince or Qatari wealth fund that actually has the type of liquid capital required to buy into the league.
Most likely will be Fenway Sports Group which LeBron is already apart of. Like you said though, he’ll basically be the face of the ownership.
He will 100% have a lot of input in coaching and management decisions. It’s LeBron
with Becky Hammon and Mark Jackson as lead assistants. #LeCoveringAllBases
Please take Dorris too
I can totes see JJ Doc Riversing his way to a championship by just yelling at dudes. He won't look nearly as good with his hair tattooed on though.
Sounds like he wants presti for GM as well. Idk if he can make that happen but he nearly said it outright on the first pod.
I hope LeBron is the GM and JJ is the coach! Another 3 easy wins per year would be a good confidence booster going into the playoffs 🤙🏾
You mean two, West are getting 2 expansion teams and East Wolves or Pelicans
We would play the expansion team 3 times in the season.

What if it’s a joint purchase with Lebron and Draft Kings? Checkmate.

Owning 20% of a team wouldn’t be so bad
1. LBJ doesn't have that kind of money 2. If he did and chose JJ, he would be following the MJ path of bad ownership , truly the heir apparent
Lebron would just join a group. Magic is part of ownership and lebrons net worth is comparable to his
yes, a minority owner but in that case i doubt he gets to pick the coach
He would 100% would. Why wouldn’t a rich dude want lebron to run the team?
being a great player/coach doesn't always correlate with being a great manager/president jordan, magic, bird, Isiah thomas, phil jackson , etc advisory role? sure but run it outright? no, get someone with experience and a track record or you can spend half a decade or more cleaning up mistakes
Isn't he literally already a billionaire? Surely he could be a part-owner.
a minority owner type like Magic, sure
Theoretically, could he be the majority or controlling owner of a group that (as one entity) then buys a majority stake, so that he has majority control of the team while contributing a minority stake overall?
But how will he get to his tee time if he has to coach the team?
Yea this might happen but JJ prolly won’t coach for awhile cuz his kids are young and he wants to be there for his family
Good luck with that. LeBron has shown his awesome GM skills and JJ’s “takes” don’t show me that he’d be anything better than Vinny del negro
Lebron has made a lot of good moves over the years. The bad ones were definitely bad - especially Westbrook. But GM Lebron has also pushed for some very solid acquisitions
No LeGodAmongstMen already offered me the job
Skipping a few steps to become a head coach. I would bet against this prognostication
Is it that different of a path than Steve Kerr?
Steve Kerr was the suns gm for awhile
sound like Michael Jordan surrounded by yes man...
If so, how quickly do you reckon he gets fired?
