JJ Redick Reveals Who Lakers Need To Trade For ASAP
J.J. Redick is diving headfirst into his new role as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Earlier this week Redick offered a very blunt take on Bronny James’ awful Summer League performance. He then provided a sobering take on the youngster’s potential ceiling as an NBA player.
This week Redick revealed the Lakers’ biggest roster weakness and how he wants them to address it.
“You certainly have to look at what I think is actually a very good roster, a very balanced roster,” Redick said.
“We’d love to, we tried, but we’d love to, at some point, get another five-man, a big bruising five-man. You look at the Western Conference right now, whether it’s Denver, Minnesota, OKC with what they added, certainly Memphis, they’re going to be back in the hunt, they added Zach Edey, certain matchups in the playoffs, you’re going to need a lot of size.”
It’s hard to argue with Redick’s broader point, but at the same time, it isn’t immediately clear how the Lakers can address this issue.
The team is currently on the verge of making a blockbuster trade – but not for a center.
And frankly speaking, there are no fives out there that really fit the bill for what Redick is looking for.
Jonas Valanciunas would have been nice, but he opted for greener pastures.
While Redick is right about the Lakers needing a competent, classic center – it doesn’t appear as though they will be able to get one ahead of the 2024-25 NBA season.
