Los Angeles Lakers Extend JJ Redick, But What About LeBron James’ Future?

The Los Angeles Lakers just gave JJ Redick an extension, but what does that mean for LeBron James’ future in Los Angeles? On today’s episode of Locked On NBA, Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore, and Tony East break down whether the Lakers are prioritizing Redick over LeBron, what Rob Pelinka’s comments really mean, and how Luka Doncic factors into the team’s long-term plans. Plus, Joel Embiid says this season will be “unpredictable” as the Sixers try to navigate his health and Paul George calls last year “rock bottom” in Philadelphia. We also preview NBA Media Day, highlight the biggest storylines across the league, and share our favorite things of the week—from Skinny Zion to Sam Presti’s marathon press conference.
