Two Unexpected Teams May Be Interested in JJ Redick

Former NBA sharpshooter JJ Redick is making headlines once again, but this time not for his prowess on the court. After a 15-season career known for his deadly accuracy from beyond the arc, Redick has transitioned into a new role as a commentator for ESPN and a podcast co-host. However, recent rumors suggest that he may be eyeing a move to the sidelines as a head coach.

Surprisingly, two struggling teams, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons, are reportedly interested in hiring Redick as their head coach. The Cavaliers, fresh off a second-round playoff exit, are facing uncertainty with rumors swirling about the potential firing of head coach J.B. Bickerstaff and star player Donovan Mitchell’s discontent. The Pistons, who finished with the worst record in the NBA this season, are also in need of a fresh start.

While Redick lacks coaching experience, his reputation as a respected veteran in the league could make him an attractive candidate for a young team like the Pistons. Additionally, the possibility of luring LeBron James back to Cleveland for a third stint could be a motivating factor for the Cavaliers to consider Redick for the head coaching position.

As the offseason unfolds, all eyes will be on Redick and whether he will make the leap from the broadcast booth to the sidelines in a coaching capacity. With two struggling teams vying for his services, the next chapter in Redick’s basketball journey promises to be an intriguing one.
