In an interview on The Dan Patrick Show, TNT reporter and senior NBA insider Chris Haynes firmly believes the Lakers will hire Redick for their head coaching vacancy.

"I will be very surprised if their next head coach is anybody but JJ Redick. Everything that I'm hearing is JJ Redick. From what I know he's doing some background, calling some assistant coaching candidates who might be able to join his staff," Haynes said.

"I'm pretty positive it will be JJ."
