While LeBron James is often mentioned as a supporter of the idea of JJ Redick becoming LA’s next bench boss, some in the league say that it’s not the same sentiment for big man Anthony Davis.
“ It has been suggested in some corners of the league that Lakers star big man Anthony Davis probably prefers for James Borrego to get the job over Redick. Not only has Borrego been a head coach twice already in Orlando and Charlotte compared to Redick’s lack of head coaching experience, but he and Davis overlapped briefly during Borrego’s first stint with the Pelicans after Davis was drafted No. 1 overall in June 2012.”
James and Davis are undeniably the two most important players of the Lakers. The four-time league could become a free agent in the summer but many still expect him to stay in La La Land. Davis will also be continuing to play for Los Angeles. In other words, their respective about the Lakers’ coaching preference means something more than they probably are willing to admit.

Adding more to the drama is the recent bombshell dropped by Adrian Wojnarowski, who reported that the Lakers are now zeroing in on UConn Huskies head coach Dan Hurley.
