If Tyronn Lue becomes available, the Lakers would have strong interest. The 47-year-old, who has one year left on his contract with the Clippers, won a championship coaching James with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016. He’s also lost in the NBA Finals twice and made the Western Conference finals with the LA Clippers in 2021. He’s a former Laker, having won two championships as a player in 2000 and 2001. His teams have ranked in the top five in offensive rating in five of his seven full seasons.

Ty Lue speaks about Kyrie Irving’s impact. I’m more interested in the container full of cookies and note next to him, I believe left by Jason Kidd. It’s his 47th birthday. pic.twitter.com/5vyTJqJBkR – 8:04 PM

Asked if there’s been any consideration of making any changes to rotation in regards to Russell Westbrook’s offensive struggles, Ty Lue said no. When asked if he has considered changes to the starting lineup, Lue said yes. – 8:04 PM

Tyronn Lue says Terance Mann is playing and, predictably, PG and Harden need to be aggressive and “be in an attack mindset.” – 8:02 PM

The move for Ty Lue is to re-up with the Clippers and tie the length of his contract to when the expansion teams start, and then LeBron can hire him for the Vegas team he’s going to own. – 3:18 PM

Somehow landing Ty Lue would be home run for the Lakers. I can’t see it happening, considering his situation, but you never know.
JJ Redick makes no sense to me. Another first-timer and someone with zero coaching experience? Where’s the logic there? – 3:03 PM

I can’t fathom why the Clippers would let Ty Lue go to the Lakers. Lue, regardless of how this season ends, is considered an elite head coach. With a year left on his contract, no less. There’s absolutely no reason for the Clips to do the Lakers any favors. – 2:51 PM

End of James availability
How it starts and ends with James and PG as leaders… how he knows what Dallas wants to do to make him uncomfortable and how it is about what he does more than what they do, and Tyronn Lue being even keeled and rest of team is as well.

More on this storyline
Jovan Buha: If Ty Lue is let go by the Clippers I’ve been told that the Lakers will have interest in Ty Lue. They courted him in 2019 it did not go well, they ended up settling on Frank Vogel, who was their third choice behind Ty Lue and Monty Williams. It ended up working out they won a championship in their first season with Vogel but then he got fired a couple years later. Ty Lue the next season ended up taking the Clippers job after Doc Rivers was fired and Clippers have gone on to the Western Conference Finals once and we’ll see what ultimately happens with them against Dallas. -via YouTube / May 3, 2024
Jovan Buha on Lakers coaching search: I’ve already started to hear over a half dozen names, the most common names that I’ve heard are Mike Budenholzer who is considered the top coach on the market right now, though that could change depending on what happens with Ty Lue and the Clippers. Speaking of Ty Lue and the Clippers, it is no secret that LeBron James loves Ty Lue, he is his favorite coach of all time, he continues to speak about Ty Lue with reverence. -via YouTube / May 3, 2024
The LA Clippers are planning to pursue a contract extension with coach Tyronn Lue that’ll allow him to avoid entering the final year of his deal in 2025-2026, sources told ESPN on Friday. -via ESPN / May 3, 2024
