Despite his excellent season, Lakers head coach JJ Redick doesn’t think that Reaves has any shot of winning the award, via ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. “I hate that award because they’ve failed to define it,” Redick said. ” The spirit of it has been taken out of wack. Just call it the high draft pick who’s on a max contract and now is an All-Star. Just call it that award. Who’s that guy? Because that’s what it’s become.”

JJ Redick on the focus of a rare practice on Wednesday following a 17-game month of March: “Worked on some defensive stuff, but really focused on end-game situations on both ends.”
One example: working on inbounds passes in critical situations. – 3:18 PM

Lakers coach JJ Redick gives his breakdown of the Rockets:
“They’re really good. They’re really physical. They’re really athletic. They’re big. And what they’ve done throughout the season is they beat you up by winning the possession battle.” pic.x.com/2uLgwGJhsx – 8:40 PM

Dave McMenamin: JJ Redick with a discussion about NBA awards today after practice, says he think he is more informed to make picks as a coach than he was as a media member. That said, he didn’t even want to discuss Austin Reaves’ case as MIP because he says that award’s been misinterpreted pic.x.com/WnFhY90Bbp -via Twitter @mcten / April 2, 2025
