You don’t have to wonder what Lakers coach JJ Redick actually thinks of Luka Doncic. When you hire a head coach who used to host a podcast, and when that podcast hosted Doncic on multiple occasions, the answers are already in front of you.
Redick’s relationship with Doncic, like the one he forged with Dorian Finney-Smith, began in the final months of his NBA career when New Orleans traded him to the Mavericks. Immediately, it was clear that the two formed a bond.
On a podcast with Andre Iguodala, Redick praised Doncic for being low maintenance in the locker room the same way Stephen Curry is for the Golden State Warriors.
