Fred, if you were hiring the next Los Angeles Lakers coach, who would you hire?Oh, right.Whoever lebron James wants.Well, all those guys are unavailable.Right?Ty Lou is not going to be available.Jason Kidd just got extended this morning.Like, I don't know who's left out there and this is going to be lebron's 11th coach in 21 years or whatever the hell it is.I know a podcast partner of his who's ready to roll that.You know what if that happens?Who would, who would be to blame?You know what I mean?No, maybe, maybe JJ Redick would be really good.JJ Redick is incredible analyst.Every single time I listen to him talk about basketball.I'm like that dude's amazing.I learned so much from him and he's so good at explaining complicated concepts in the game.He, he was a really good player so he can relate to players.I wouldn't be surprised if JJ Reddick became a really good NBA head coach.He's really good.So, so you, so you're going to with the JJ Reddick?Is that, is that your vote?No, I don't have a vote.I'm a huge believer that until you actually see a guy be a head coach, we have absolutely no idea on the outside if someone is good or not.
