根據記者Chris Haynes上節目訪談內容指出，湖人隊的總教練人選可能已經逐漸的浮上檯面，而那位人選正式傳聞許久的JJ Redick，甚至記者Haynes還說Redick已經開始調查一些未來想要招募的助理教練團人選。
"I will be very surprised if their next Head Coach is anybody but JJ Redick. Everything that I'm hearing is JJ Redick. From what I know he's doing some background, calling some assistant coaching candidates who might be able to join his staff."

Haynes說：「如果他們的下一任總教練不是Redick，我會感到非常驚訝。我聽到的一切都是JJ雷迪克。據我所知，他正在做一些背景調查工作，打電話給一些可能能夠加入他的團隊的助理教練候選人。」
此外另外一名知名記者Marc Stein也指出，塞爾提克助理教練Sam Cassell和鵜鶘助教James Borrego，還有前球員Jared Dudley，都是Redick助教團人選，而非先前傳聞想要找進成為總教練。
“JJ Redick would target Sam Cassell, James Borrego, and Jared Dudley as his assistants should he be named the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line.”
