Five great takeaways per Jovan:
1. JJ Redick won the podcast.
2. Redick;s coaching philosophy has begun to crystallize – modernize lakers offense and defense, more threes, more offensive rebounding, using AD like Nuggets use Jokic, using James off the ball and shooting more threes, less drop coverage, etc. Have fun! Player App.
3. Importannce of player development – draft more important, retaining assets, not losing players to free agency. Use the #17 pick for a rotation player who can help next year, like a center. Reaves, Rui, Max, + JHS. No mention of DLO or Vando.
4. Tempered trade expectations. Worrying about how CBA affects trades, looking for smaller rather than bigger move. Not trading AR for DJM, which could be a mistake imo. Bottom line, Lakers should trade at least 2 of the 3 picks to improve roster. Must do that.
5. Clarification on search and hiring process.
