JJ just dropped the F bomb and there was an audible gasp.

Really good press conference from JJ.
But Rob’s answers were telling about trades and roster construction.

all it takes is one momentum-stopping timeout call and this season will be a success for JJ

Shouldn’t be a surprise that JJ would own this press conference… dude works in the media and played for some good coaches throughout his career.

Overall, really liked what I heard from HBC. The AD Hub is what really stood out amongst the desired shift to a more analytical approach. Don't see the roster as currently constructed at all to be able to deliver much on the latter, but that's where Rob has to work some magic.
Please just get Ratsull off my team dawg and let's roll.

“Wanting to do the job”
I wonder if word got back to JJ that Ham didn’t care about the job at some point

So are we keeping this pick? I haven't heard much chatter about potential trades and the draft is only a few days away. It seemed like we were hell-bent on going all in and trick as many first rounders as possible. Is that not the case anymore?

Local LA media outside of Bill Plaschke has been overwhelmingly positive about JJ in spite of him only having 4th grade Swoosh league coaching experience. I wonder if the reception would be the same had Rondo been hired without college or Pro coaching experience? 
No idea how this will all unfold but I do think the biggest things working in JJ’s favor are that Lebron really likes him and that JJ, via his illustrious Podcasting career (
) has demonstrated that if nothing else, he fully understands, respects and appreciates and is a part of NBA culture- unlike Hurley who would have been a square peg, round hole situation as most successful college coaches have been.
The way a coach is able to relate to his players plays such a huge role in winning and whether or not the team ultimately has success.
And I know some won’t like this but I feel like we gotta go after Klay and CP to fill very specific roles on this squad. Especially Klay because I feel like there’s very minimal risk (assuming the $ figure is reasonable) taking a flyer on one of the greatest shooters of all time. CP’s might be too outspoken for this team even with Bron’s presence.
I can’t do another season of undefined roles and Max Christie airballs.

Think it's being kept.
I don't think they're going for a home run level trade. Maybe a solid double though.

If Mitchell is off the table there's no all in trade that makes sense. But I think any worthwhile trade would involve moving this year's pick

- Redick values positional versatility, 3-point shooting and playmaking for lineups
- Yves Missi and Kel'el Ware linked to the Lakers draft plans
- Jonas Valančiūnas is a possible free agent target
- #17 has been made available in trade talks
- Jerami Grant could be a possible trade target
- Lakers could look to trade back with either the Knicks or Jazz

Im sold on JJ Redick!
Now I love Duke and I value analytics!
Season starts sooooon!
I dont care that JJ is a first timer, we gave Christie Sides a chance and she had horrible lineups and didnt know how to use her stars in crunch time.

I like Adem Bona as a project, but there's almost no chance he'd be around at 55.
