One person who knows both Dan Hurley and JJ Redick well is Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd, and he recently spoke about how he feels both would be good fits for the Lakers.
“I’m happy when you talk about Hurley being mentioned as a candidate, JJ being mentioned. Two different paths to become head coaches in this league,” Kidd said. “Both basketball IQs are extremely high.
Whoever the Lakers choose, that’s up to them, but when you talk about championships, Hurley has won two at UConn. I’ve gotten to play with Hurley in high school, he is a warrior, he’s a champion. Coaching runs deep in their blood in that family.
“So if he wanted to become a Laker, that’s incredible for him and his family but also for the Lakers. But JJ also has a basketball IQ and understands how to play the game the right way. So either candidate is gonna be great for the Lakers to choose from.”
