The Los Angeles Lakers recently announced that they had extended head coach JJ Redick’s contract.

The Lakers wanted a stable coaching staff, and they are going to get that.

It sounds like it was an easy choice for LA’s front office, and general manager Rob Pelinka explained why the Lakers moved forward with a Redick extension.

“Confidence and belief. We think he’s a special coach with a special voice that’s really helping us to continue to define the culture of Lakers excellence. We just wanted to make a clear statement that this is what we believe in, what we’re going to lean into, and what our players are going to mold into as we continue to develop the identity. I think having long-term planning is helpful as we build this team going forward,” Pelinka said, via Mike Trudell.
