In some ways, the off-season is in full swing.
On Monday morning, Shams Charania got on FanDuel TV and discussed a conversation he had with LeBron James’ agent and close friend, Klutch Sports founding father Rich Paul, relaying that Paul said, “LeBron James and JJ Redick, they do a podcast together. That does not mean he wants JJ Redick as his head coach, but he’s leaving it up to the organization,” of the Los Angeles Lakers’ ongoing search for a head coach. Which is perhaps the most off-season sentence possible.
And yet, we were treated to two Game 7s the day before, where many Brooklyn Nets fans were overjoyed at a New York Knicks loss before watching a guard-changing comeback by the Minnesota Timberwolves in Denver.
