While Redick has gotten off to a great start, Lakers owner Jeanie Buss recently admitted concerns she had about hiring a first-year head coach.

To acquire Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks, the Los Angeles Lakers sent Max Christie alongside Anthony Davis and a 2029 first-round pick back to the Mavericks. Though the Lakers parted ways with Christie to bring in Doncic, head coach J.J. Redick still holds a ton of respect for the young guard.

The Lakers' trade for Luka Doncic is the kind of move that will shape Jeanie Buss' organization into the future — and it's the kind of trade she thinks her father would've made.
