Since JJ Redick's hiring as head coach, the Lakers have seen significant changes, including Rob Pelinka's contract extension after acquiring Luka Doncic. Despite the promising aspects of Redick's rookie season, the team struggled in the playoffs, being eliminated in five games for the second consecutive year. Pelinka remains optimistic about Redick's impact on the team's culture and future, stating that every season without a championship is a disappointment. Redick described the post-season atmosphere as eerily reminiscent of a funeral, reflecting the somber mood following the loss to Minnesota.
"Our level of confidence, my level of confidence couldn't be higher."
"Coming into the building today, sort of an eerie, familiar feeling... it feels like the death of that organism."
