At the Lakers’ media day Monday, coach JJ Redick recalled a summer mix-up involving guard Quentin Grimes that unfolded at Redick’s Sag Harbor guest house—and at a neighboring property. Redick’s account, reported by the New York Post, was that Grimes and a friend went to the wrong home and used its pool.
The episode is a personal anecdote, not evidence about how often such mistakes happen or about the identities of the households involved. Redick said he had arranged for the visitors to stay at his guest house and provided Grimes with its address and information about a spare key. The public account does not establish the precise location, whether the neighboring owners were contacted, or what happened between the households afterward.
Local housing records offer background, not an explanation
Sag Harbor’s housing history provides limited context for a story involving a summer visit. A Village of Sag Harbor planning document citing the 2000 U.S. Census said 699 of the village’s 822 vacant housing units were used seasonally, recreationally or occasionally. Those are dated figures about vacant units—not a share of all village homes, a measure of present-day conditions, or information about either property in Redick’s story. (Village of Sag Harbor planning document.)
A 2022 village housing-law resolution described tourism, amenities and housing for summer residents as vital to the local economy, while saying they are not Sag Harbor’s defining characteristics. That broader statement helps describe the place’s seasonal-housing context, but it does not explain how Grimes reached the wrong house. (Village of Sag Harbor resolution.)
For the Lakers, the story surfaced as a light moment at the start of the season. For Sag Harbor, the available public records describe villagewide housing conditions and local economic context; they cannot fill in the private details Redick did not disclose.
