Follow usLA Lakers manager JJ Redick has received a deal extension before the start of his 2nd campaign with the organization, GM Rob Pelinka revealed today.
JJ had inked a 4-year, a 32 million dollar deal with the Los Angeles Lakers ahead of his debut season one year ago.
LA finished with a 50-32 record in Reddick’s 1st season as a boss before being eliminated by the Timberwolves in the 1st round of the postseason.
At the time of his appointment in the past summer, JJ had no previous experience of leading a team in the NBA. During his career in the league, Reddick played for 6 organizations in his 15 years before retiring after the 2020-21 season, then worked as an analyst on TV before becoming head coach of the Lakers.
JJ made the leadership in Los Angeles happy after his 50 victories in his debut campaign as a head coach in the NBA, and they decided to offer him an extension. Pelinka announced that the decision to extend his contract is to show that he is extraordinary as a head coach and that they trust him one hundred percent.
