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.

As for first-year coach JJ Redick, his standing in L.A. may be the clearest despite getting rather quickly knocked out of the postseason by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the five-game series. Redick's job is safe, team sources recently told The Athletic, and the Lakers are "optimistic about his future with the franchise."
