The clock is loudly ticking down for the Los Angeles Lakers, who are still without a head coach just weeks before the NBA draft.

Their goal is to fill that vacancy prior to the draft but that is easier said than done, especially after the public fiasco that was their pursuit of UConn’s Dan Hurley.

According to BetOnline, via Ryan Ward, JJ Redick is once again the frontrunner to become the new head coach of the Lakers.

He has 1/5 odds, ahead of James Borrego (3/1), Sam Cassell (9/1), Chris Quinn (16/1), and others.

With Dan Hurley turning down the Lakers, new odds surfaced for LA gig. No surprise who is the favorite: JJ Redick 1/5 via @BetOnline_ag (don’t know why Ty Lue is on the list)

Also, James Borrego clear fav for Cavs job: 1/1 (even though he’s right behind Redick for LA gig) pic.twitter.com/IreyO62Tbn
