Dan Patrick: "Can you continue a podcast with LeBron while coaching the Lakers? While it would be great content, if I'm the Lakers, I don't want my head coach with his hat backwards talking with LeBron James. You've got a job to do. Entertain people by putting an entertaining product on the floor, not with your podcast. It's like how Doug Gottlieb is coaching Wisconsin-Green Bay while doing his radio show. That's different. He can use that for publicity for his program, putting them on the map. He's already gotten publicity. The Lakers don't need publicity. They don't need to have Redick do this so they can have more people interested in the Lakers. JJ Redick should just coach the Lakers. Be the CEO of the Lakers and bring in some really good assistant coaches."
Dan Patrick reacts to the Lakers hiring JJ Redick as their new head coach. Dan explains why Redick continuing his podcast with LeBron James would only cause problems for the team. Plus, Dan explains why Redick has a great shot to be successful if he assembles the right supporting staff.
