New Lakers head coach JJ Redick reportedly shared his strategy for working with LeBron James and Anthony Davis in a recent meeting with team management, as reported by The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Sam Amick, and Jovan Buha.
During the meeting, Redick discussed implementing a system tailored to the team’s roster, with a focus on getting Anthony Davis more involved, especially in late-game situations, and reducing LeBron James’ ball-handling responsibilities by utilizing him in different ways.
Managing James’ workload, especially as he approaches 40 in December, will be crucial for the team’s success in the regular season and playoffs.
Keeping James fresh presents a unique challenge for Redick, as previous coach Darvin Ham attempted to limit his minutes but quickly abandoned that plan due to James’ importance to the team.
Given Redick’s lack of high-level coaching experience, it remains to be seen how he will navigate his relationship with James and implement his coaching strategies effectively.
