Redick says with AD, LeBron, Reaves, or any player, he can have a vision of how he wants to use them but it needs to be a collaboration. Says he talked with AD a week ago about some offensive and defensive ideas.

One thing that Redick spoke about with Anthony Davis was maximizing all of his abilities as a hub on offense, and tapping into what's really a varied skillset there.

JJ Redick says he wants LeBron James to take more 3s next season. James shot a career-best 41% from 3 last year in his 20th season.

Pelinka: We want to respect and honor LeBron's ability to make a decision on June 29th (his option deadline)

Rob Pelinka says he and JJ Redick will speak about how they want to make "tweaks" and roster changes around LeBron and AD heading into free agency.

JJ Redick: "The pursuit of greatness can't be miserable." He says it's his responsibility to create an environment with the Lakers organization where everyone enjoys coming to work and competing.

"Our goal is to build a team that can compete for a championship," Rob Pelinka says. Says that's both short and long-term. Again mentions the second apron as a deterrent

Redick, asked about coaching philosophies, said that part of it is figuring out how to create margins for advantage on either end of the floor.

He noted that LAL were 29th in off. rebounding % last year, and thinks "giving players the freedom, especially from the corners, to crash, is huge."

Pelinka: Our goal is to build a team that can compete for championships...some trades are more difficult due to the aprons. Lakers will look for trades to become a better team but they don't have the same probability of making trades as they did under the old system

Rob Pelinka says that the new CBA makes it more difficult to complete trades, even though they have three first round picks to use. He says they will look for ways to improve the roster but is not sure if they will be able to put any deals together.

JJ Redick says coaching at summer league in Las Vegas is on the table. He said he’ll be heavily involved in the process either way.

JJ Redick would not give names but he and Rob Pelinka say they have begun talking about who they want on his coaching staff, looking to surround him with experience.

Rob Pelinka says LeBron James was not involved in the coaching process but remained supportive.

Anthony Davis, on the other hand, was very involved and is "excited" about how things went.

Pelinika says that he and JJ have had conversations about "gamifying" player development to reflect that kids and athletes are learning in new ways

"I don't look at the current roster as that far off from being a championship-caliber team," Redick said. Says it's reasonable to think competing for a championship can happen quickly.

"The group matters more than ever. You certainly need the stars but the group matters more than ever. You need 6,7,8 guys that can play deep into the playoffs." - Redick on the current NBA

JJ Redick on why he chose this job:

"This job was about the Lakers. It was about LeBron James, Anthony Davis, two of the greatest players ever."

"I've gotten to do some amazing things in my life, this might be the best," Redick said.

JJ Redick on Coach K: “Truthfully, he was very helpful throughout this process.”

JJ Redick says he's done with podcasting: "“For the time being, and hopefully it’s a very long time, I’m excommunicated from the content space.”

Rob Pelinka says Rui Hachimura is still thinking through if he will play for Japan in this summer's Olympics.

JJ Redick says he wants Rui Hachimura to shoot more 3s and believes Rui can become an elite offensive rebounder.

Redick cited "great" conversations he had with both Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura this weekend. He mentioned he thinks Hachimura can take more 3's (Rui shot 42.2% last year on 3.4 attempts) and crash the O glass more.
