Redick shares his goal for Lakers' star forward

As the Lakers' new head coach, Redick has a few plans and tricks up his sleeve. During his presser, he shared that he already has plans on what LeBron James should do if he returns to the team. According to the former NBA shooting guard, he wants him to shoot more three-pointers for the 2024-25 season.

After all, James shot over 40% from beyond the arc the past season, which is the most efficient he's been from that distance.

In his entire career, James has never been a reliable shooter from long-range. However, he's developed a solid game from the three-point range now that he's in the twilight years of his career. With Redick as the team's new coach, the All-Star forward could show a different side of his offensive game for next season.
