JJ Redick reveals his true feelings about Lakers’ Dan Hurley flirtation
NY Post
JJ Redick opened up about a litany of topics, including the Lakers nearly hiring UConn’s Dan Hurley, during his introductory press conference as coach on Monday.
Redick discussed his communication with the Lakers brass during the team’s process of offering Hurley the position and used a bit of humor to convey his feelings while watching the Lakers pursue the two-time national champion.
“Rob [Pelinka] was quick to call me. Had a great conversation,” Redick said. “During that whole four-day period, at no point was my ego or feelings hurt or bruised in any way.”
On June 10, Hurley rejected the Lakers’ offer of six years, $70 million to be the team’s next head coach after firing Darvin Ham.
The 40-year-old Redick was effusive in praising the first-choice Hurley, even joking about his own relative lack of coaching experience.
“Dan Hurley is a two-time national champion at UConn. I am a two-time 55 League Swish League champion in the third- and fourth-grade division,” Redick said. “I understood.”
Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline.
