Lakers newsletter: Changes made by JJ Redick are already evident

LA Times  

Hey everyone, this is Dan Woike and welcome back to the Lakers newsletter, the weekly chance to check in on the organization that once gave you Antonio Harvey in the dunk contest. For the ones who didn’t, mid-August is when the ramp up to training camp really gets going with many players returning to Los Angeles to go through workouts at the team’s facility. It’s especially encouraging for Hood-Schifino, a player mostly spoken about in the context of the three players picked behind him: Miami’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. at No. Finding and creating pathways for success for young, improving players is critical for Redick as he and the Lakers try to thread the needle between maximizing LeBron James’ late prime while building for whatever is next. In case you missed it Lakers’ 2024-25 schedule includes Christmas in San Francisco, January trip to Inglewood Steve Kerr won’t ‘shut up and whistle.’ Coach uses Steph Curry’s ‘night, night’ move on Trump
