Does Out-of-the-Box Lakers Head Coach Contender Acknowledge Huge Downside of Gig?

Does Out-of-the-Box Lakers Head Coach Contender Acknowledge Huge Downside of Gig?

During a recent appearance on ESPN, front office expert Adrian Wojnarowski revealed that the Los Angeles Lakers seem to be honing in on at least two prospects to replace recently-canned head coach Darvin Ham: current New Orleans Pelicans assistant coach James Borrego, whom Wojnarowski credits for turning around the team's offense by utilizing a point forward approach for out-of-shape star Zion Williamson, and ESPN's own JJ Redick, a name Woj has floated before as a leading contender for the gig, despite his having zero coaching experience. "Another candidate is someone who hasn't coached, and that's our colleague here at ESPN, JJ Redick," Wojnarowski added, after breaking down Borrego's case.
