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.

Mic drops, bold lineup decisions and a massive midseason trade highlighted Redick's debut season, which ended in an early playoff exit.

After a disappointing season, the Los Angeles Lakers are due to make big decisions about their future. While some fans are calling for a change in the coaching department, the latest intel out of LA suggests that the team's management still believes in Redick and his ability to lead their locker room for the foreseeable future.
