Lakers Seem to be Favoring Former Sixers Guard for Head Coach Job

As the Los Angeles Lakers search for Darvin Ham's replacement, one name is consistently mentioned as a favorite: JJ Redick. The former Philadelphia 76ers guard has been a popular coaching candidate this offseason, as he reportedly gained interest from the Brooklyn Nets and the Charlotte Hornets. While the latter organization was rumored to favor Redick, they ultimately went with another candidate. Meanwhile, Redick will maintain his role as an analyst unless the Lakers make him an offer intriguing enough to take him away from the broadcast table.
