I don't mean to offend the Pistons, the Hornets, the Spurs or the Thunder, the Lakers aren't going to let you learn slowly. They fired Hamm because he didn't make the right substitution. If it were me, I wouldn't have accepted this job. ”
Recently, former NBA player Doc Doc Doc He also said that the Lakers' head coach position is a hot potato.
Pierce interpreted the incident from a different angle, and he felt that Redick was not really capable of coaching. "You can hear JJ (Reddick) on the podcast; They'll make a game plan and it sounds like he's got a lot of IQ...... It's like his voice is fit to be a coach. But he's like an influencer model on IG. It looks great, and then you see it with your own eyes, only to find that it's not what you imagined. ”
