Lindsey Harding, 40, Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach
It’s been a busy spring and summer for Harding. She won the NBA G League Coach of the Year Award in April after leading the Stockton Kings to a league-best 24-10 record; she is the first woman to win that award. Harding interviewed for the Hornets head coaching job this spring. In July, left the Kings to take a job on the Lakers staff. It is just the latest sign of success for Harding after a sterling playing career, where she was the Naismith National Player of the Year at Duke, the No. 1 pick in the 2007 WNBA Draft and a solid player during her professional career.
JJ Redick, 40, Los Angeles Lakers head coach
Redick was a well-known entity in the NBA before he landed on the sidelines in L.A. but he’ll be in the spotlight next season as he takes control of one of the league’s premier franchises. Redick got the Lakers job without any experience as a coach, which speaks to his basketball IQ and the respect he has earned across the sport, not only after 15 years in the NBA but with his smart media appearances and basketball podcast. He interviewed for the Raptors opening last offseason as well.
“It was just really important to us as we made this hire to find a head coach that could sit across the table from some of the smartest and best players in the world,” Lakers team president Rob Pelinka said in June. “This is the stage for those players to be able to relate to, coach, hold them accountable, lead them, inspire them. And we felt like JJ was very unique in holding all those qualities to do that.”
We were spoiled by Vitti.So can 2 to 3 day injuries not last for months now?
Exactly. Same way people complained about Austin getting a 2 year deal as a rookie but it led to the cheap contract he's on nowI think if he would’ve done that people would be complaining about how cheap Jeanie is bc $7/8 mil in today’s cap is basically nothing.
It’s time for Max show that’s he’s a full time regular rotation NBA player
DLo - 18.6 mil
Rui-17 mil
Gabe- 11mil
Vando-10.7mil
Christie- 7.1mil
All mid guys got paid, need a couple to keep improving or some of these contracts going to handcuff Lakers for years to come
AR playing up to his 13mil contract imo. Not that he doesn't need improvement, but AR for 13 mil is fair.You forgot a name……..

Some guys (not on rookie contracts) for comparison:
Grant Williams-13mil
Luke Kennard-14 mil
Deni Avdija-15mil
Tim Hardaway JR.-16mil
Nah, I need more from them. Rui at nearly 18 mil might be a bad contract if he doesn't improve this year, currently very one-dimensional. DLo shooting 30% in the playoffs again doesn't reach value for me. Other guys at same range as these two:Same can be said about Rui and DLo.
What they actually need is a contract like THJR.
There’s a reason deals have been a chore to find. They can’t find a guy who is 1. available and 2. Provides the production they get from contracts.
