JJ Redick’s Former Teammate Throws Shade at Lakers Coach in Latest Comments

It's been a rather eventful offseason thus far for the Los Angeles Lakers. Although they haven't signed anyone in free agency or made any splashy trades, they are still being heavily discussed.

Things started when Los Angeles parted ways with Darvin Ham and his entire staff in an attempt to get better results from the team. The coaching search involved Dan Hurley, Redick, among others but they ultimately decided to roll with Redick.

Even though Redick has no coaching experience, he was able to land one of the most highly profiled jobs in all of sports.

Now one of Redick's former teammates has taken a shot at the new Lakers coach.

Lakers News: Jared Dudley Takes a Shot at JJ Redick

Jared Dudley is currently an assistant coach on the staff of the Dallas Mavericks. On Tuesday, he spoke with some reporters, expressing his desire to be a head coach in the NBA one day but understands it's a process. He took a shot at Redick in the same breath.

"I want to head coach, that's my dream... Some of us aren’t JJ Redick and get to go right away."

These two guys were teammates on the Los Angeles Clippers during the 2013-14 season.

It's widely known that Redick never coached in the NBA but he has a terrific basketball mind. That caught the attention of the Lakers brass throughout the interview process and led to him landing the gig.

Steve Kerr, Jason Kidd, and Mark Jackson are a few coaches who had success in the NBA despite having no experience before landing head coaching positions.

Redick has a chance to be the next one to follow in those steps but in the process, he'll hear comments similar to one Dudley said. It now comes with the territory of being the lead man for the Los Angeles Lakers.
