The Los Angeles Lakers and JJ Redick’s romance has been brewing for a while now. With no news from the front office and all the back-forth about ex-head coach Dan Harvim’s replacement, fans had been growing impatient. But we might have a possible confirmation of LA’s decision.

After an interesting episode of ESPN’s ‘First Take,’ where the usual regular Redick was absent and co-host Jay Williams may have accidentally disclosed the reason behind his absence. After he mysteriously wished Redick luck on his first head coach job, Williams raised a few eyebrows. Lakers insider Anthony Irwin confirmed suspicions after he disclosed what “people close to the situation” relayed to him. Irwin said, “According to people close to the situation who can’t speak publicly, the Lakers and JJ Redick have moved forward and Redick is going to be head coach of the LA Lakers.”

Irwin also pointed out a few crucial elements that bolster this disclosure. Redick was noticeably absent from today’s ESPN First Take program, even though he was a part of the Finals coverage the night before. Irwin believes that Redick’s absence may be due to his possible presence in Los Angeles to finalize his contract with the Lakers.
