The Lakers are taking a big swing with their new head coach.
After a dramatic coaching search, the Lakers struck a four-year deal with JJ Redick on Thursday, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Redick, 39, co-hosts a podcast with Lakers star LeBron James, who can become a free agent.
Redick, who has no coaching experience, most recently was an analyst for ESPN and called the NBA Finals with Mike Breen and Doris Burke.
The Lakers offered UConn coach Dan Hurley a six-year, $70 million contract, but Hurley opted to remain in Storrs to chase a three-peat after winning consecutive national championships.
Redick retired from playing three years ago after 15 NBA seasons and was known as a sharpshooter, finishing with a career 41.5 shooting percentage from 3-point range.
The former Duke star, whom the Magic selected No. 11 overall in the 2006 NBA Draft, played parts of seven seasons in Orlando and later played for the Bucks, Clippers, 76ers, Pelicans and Mavericks.
