The Lakers give high treatment to the 40-year-old man, Aunt Jenny s last authority

The Los Angeles Lakers, who have been silent in the free market for a long time, have made great efforts recently. At the team's press conference, General Manager Pelinka announced that he would sign an early contract renewal with head coach JJ Redick. You know, the Lakers just signed a four-year contract with Redick last year with an average annual salary of $8 million. Just one year later, the Purple Gold Army has been busy renewing the contract in advance. It seems that they are quite satisfied with the rookie coach's coaching ability. According to ESPN reporter Shams Charania, the Lakers and Redick have been renewed for two more years this time, and the cooperation between the two sides will continue until the 2029-30 season. Redick's total salary will reach $45 million in five years.

You should know that Redick played for 15 seasons during his time as a player and earned $110 million during this period. Now he has changed his career as a coach and can earn $45 million in 5 years, and his money-making ability is better than that of a player. After all, in the NBA coaching industry, an annual salary of 9 million is already the highest salary. Only Cole, Popovich, the two "Fifteenth National Congress" and Spostela can have an annual salary of more than $15 million, and Rivers, Tyron Lu and Budenholzer have an annual salary of over 10 million. In this way, Redick, who has no coaching experience before, can get such a high salary, which is the highest courtesy.

Interestingly, LeBron James, a "Lenten man" born in 1984, was unable to wait for the Lakers to renew his contract. In the new season, he will face the choice of still considering switching to his family after the last season in the Lakers. Redick, who was also born in 1984, was recognized by the Lakers' management. In the next five years, his fate was firmly tied to the Purple and Gold Legion. In the rookie season, Redick led the Lakers to 50 wins and 32 losses in the regular season, and eventually ranked third in the West. It can be said that it is still very good, at least it has improved a lot on the offensive end. At the same time, Redick's performance in the playoffs was not very ideal. The Timberwolves completed the "lower-bump" in the first round. He made the starting five-man team play in the second half and dared not replace them. He was criticized for his operation.

Of course, the growth of young coaches requires trial and error costs, and famous coaches also need the strength of time and the washing of failure to finally enter the house. But why do you complete the contract renewal early at this point in time? This may be related to the fact that the Bass family sold the team to Mark Walter this summer. According to the agreement, the Bass family, which still holds a small number of shares, will continue to have management authority in the next five years, and the timeline is exactly the same as Reddick's coaching time. Obviously, Jenny Buss chose Redick as much as he could. Can such a emotional operation be rewarded with Redick's coaching record? Let's wait and see.
