James Borrego could be a name to watch, league sources told Yahoo Sports, as well as ESPN analyst JJ Redick. Redick is currently a prime candidate for the Lakers job, so it isn’t known how much traction Detroit could actually gain. Redick and Langdon have the Duke connection, and they were in New Orleans when Redick signed there as a free agent before the pandemic-shortened 2019-20 season. Tellem is also a fan of Redick, for what it’s worth.

Marc Stein: Growing expectation around the league is that they will ultimately hire JJ Reddick after offering the job to UConn’s Dan Hurley. -via Apple Podcasts / June 19, 2024
So when James began hosting a weekly podcast with Redick in which they discussed their basketball knowledge and philosophies, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith said some coaches reached out to him who were “salty” that James would do the podcast, feeling it “hurt” Ham. “Numerous coaches, Black coaches called me expressing how they took issue with that podcast taking place… Some of them felt very salty about that,” Smith said on ‘First Take.’ “Any of us would do a podcast with LeBron James. … We’re not faulting JJ in any way for doing the podcast or for the content on the podcast with LeBron James, but at some point in time we do have to do this… we have to remember the things we’ve said about LeBron James as it pertains to his brilliance, as it pertains to controlling a narrative, as it pertains to being two, three, five steps ahead of others, in terms of what you’re plotting and what you’re planning and what have you.” -via Clutch Points / June 19, 2024
