The Lakers are hoping to convince James Borrego to join JJ Redick’s staff as a lead assistant, per @jovanbuha (https://t.co/4iQ2tL7VKa).
Borrego, Sam Cassell, Scott Brooks, Rajon Rondo and Jared Dudley are all assistant candidates in play to potentially join Redick in LA. pic.twitter.com/2SR0q3KLM9

For me if we are going with JJ, his staff will be huge. Lakers need to open their check book and make James the highest paid assistant in the NBA.
I agree 100%, Michael, Borrega and Brooks as a former head coaches would be great as lead assistants for JJ.
I do hope that the front office lets JJ pick the assistants with an understanding that he needs to have an experienced lead asst. Don’t want to have assistants that he did not choose. That would be a mistake. Just need to require an experienced staff.
I understand completely but if I recall Rob hired Kidd independently from Frank. Fortunately that turned out well.
