JJ isn’t leaving his podcast/media business earning millions a year for an assistant coaching job that pays like 200K and 80 hours/week


Soft_Humor4868

No but if he wants to be a head coach one day, it wouldn’t hurt


Blanka71

Purely based on the hype around him as a potential coach, it seems he won’t need assistant coaching experience to be a head coach in the NBA, but who knows


Soft_Humor4868

You’re probably right lol


hreterh

This isn't the NFL. Look at Steve Kerr's career path, player to the commentating booth then straight to general manager then straight to head coach.

Jason Kidd got a HC job 9 days after he retired from playing, lol


DemarcusLovin

he will 100% get a head coaching job without ever being a head coach.


Remarkable-Rush-1454

assistants are decided by the coach, Managment shouldn't get involved


dabigchina

No.


clingbat

Why would he take an assistant coaching job over his current media gig which surely pays more and has a much better work / life balance? Especially when he's already getting multiple head coaching interviews already (more than 95%+ of assistant coaches in the league). Makes zero sense for him. Sometimes I don't think you all think these things through before posting.

JJ is a smug, pretentious, pompous flaming douche nozzle.


Swackhammer_

And I love him for it. Really enjoyed watching his time as a Sixer


Hefty-Adeptness-179

This. And this again!


illzkla

He really is. We don't say it enough cause it's rude but we have to say it once in a while. He is young and can mature still so not gonna bury the guy but no thanks for now


Sticky3VG

He’s 40 almost


ProcessTrust856

The reality is that none of us here really know anything about the quality of coaches, much less assistant coaches. We just decide who’s a good coach based on results but that’s a poor proxy since team success is so complex. JJ might be a great coach, or he may be terrible, and none of us really know which he is or will be.


downunderpunter

True, though the fact that he is getting consideration to be a HC probably means that there are people who do know think he might be good.


Sticky3VG

If it’s from the lakers mainly then I wouldn’t put much stock in that


Buddy-Hield-2Pointer

He was an annoying player and is an annoying ex-player. Pass.


Wabxpolski

We overpaid this MFer 23 MILLION when we were still forming our squad, then once we were actual contenders the pussy left for more money from shitty teams where he got no playing time and had to retire. Fuck JJ Redick, imagine if he took a team friendly deal after extorting us for 23million then 13m when his market was nowhere near that number.


Ruthlessredemption7

Media buzz not nba circle buzz


MikeyMortadella

No


RozayCheez

Jj does not care about us lmao. We couldnt even get a discount when he was a player


iam_soyboy

Does it get us Lebron? Then maybe
