In a disappointing Lakers season, JJ Redick made plenty of mistakes, and the growing pains were clear in his first year on the job. While some may claim that he's no better than Darvin Ham, the latest intel suggests that the Lakers intend to keep Redick, and his job is safe for the time being.

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.

While a first-round exit for a team with two of the league's biggest stars is viewed as a letdown, a report by The Athletic's Jovan Buha and Sam Amick revealed that first-year head coach JJ Redick is still safe.
