In a disappointing Lakers season, JJ Redick made plenty of mistakes, and the growing pains were clear in his first year on the job. While some may claim that he's no better than Darvin Ham, the latest intel suggests that the Lakers intend to keep Redick, and his job is safe for the time being.

JJ Redick was gentleman’s swept out of the first round during his first season as an NBA head coach, but the leash is still apparently a good amount longer for him.

The Los Angeles Lakers will have a long offseason after they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Which means they will have plenty of time to get in better shape.
