Report: Lakers bring in two former head coaches to bolster JJ Redick’s coaching staff

The Los Angeles Lakers have added experienced coaches Scott Brooks and Nate McMillan to their coaching staff for the upcoming season. Both Brooks and McMillan are former NBA head coaches who bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the team. Brooks coached the Oklahoma City Thunder and Washington Wizards, while McMillan recently led the Atlanta Hawks and previously coached the Indiana Pacers, Portland Trail Blazers, and Seattle SuperSonics.

Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka emphasized the importance of surrounding new head coach JJ Redick with experienced coaches to support him and set the team up for success. The team is focused on building a staff that will provide the necessary guidance and expertise to help Redick navigate his first season as head coach.

Former head coach Dwane Casey, who is currently with the Detroit Pistons, declined an opportunity to join Redick’s coaching staff. Meanwhile, other names like Jared Dudley and Rajon Rondo, who have recent connections to the Lakers, have also been mentioned as potential additions to the coaching staff.

With the addition of Brooks and McMillan, the Lakers are assembling a coaching staff with a mixture of coaching experience and expertise that will help guide the team towards their goals for the upcoming season.
