Redick had never coached in the NBA nor collegiate level before, and the Lakers took a huge risking hiring a head coach who had no prior experience. This generated a lot of controversy amongst the NBA fans and analysts, as they questioned the Lakers&rsquo; front office for a mind boggling decision made at that time. However, Redick has worked his tail off to help the Lakers get out of the Play-In situation, and into the playoffs. <\/p><p>The Lakers finished the 2024-25 season as the 3rd seed in the Western Conference, only behind Oklahoma City, and Houston. They won 50 games this season, while losing 32, and have looked like a serious threat who could at least make the conference finals. The Lakers are set to take on Minnesota Timberwolves for the first round of the playoffs, and we&rsquo;ll see who comes out on top.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What a debut season with the Lakers for JJ Redick &#128079;<br><br>Playoffs &#128284;<br><br>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mcten?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@mcten<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/X08kJlnwcu\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/X08kJlnwcu<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BleacherReport\/status\/1911160195595788559?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 12, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Surprisingly enough, this season may be the only chance that coach Redick could win a championship with the Los Angeles Lakers, and here is the reason why.<\/p><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/2025-nba-draft-lottery-odds-which-teams-have-the-best-odds-to-land-cooper-flagg\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>2025 NBA Draft Lottery Odds &ndash; Which Teams Have the Best Odds To Land Cooper Flagg?<\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Every Lakers Head Coach Has Either Won the Finals in Their First Year or Never at All<\/h2><p>The Los Angeles Lakers one of the most iconic franchises, amongst any sport, in the world.
