On June 21, ESPN reported that the Lakers have signed Redick to a four-year deal with an average annual salary of around $8 million, making him the new head coach of the team.
According to reports, similar to his pursuit of Helliway, Pelinka hopes that the incoming head coach will prioritize the development of young players like Christie, Reeves, and Hachimura, while also devising innovative strategies to maximize Davis’s impact on both offense and defense.
Additionally, Redick has a good relationship with James, as the two co-host the podcast “The Brain Game.”
