Luke Walton And Lakers Mutually Agree To Part Ways
In a very expected move, the Lakers officially announced that head coach Luke Walton will not return next season. This has been culminating since the All-Star Break, when the Lakers started taking a nosedive.
With Magic Johnson no longer the Lakers President, the storied organization is turning to the likes of Ty Lue, Jason Kidd, and Monty Williams as top candidates to be the next head coach.
Ty Lue is a strong frontrunner for the Lakers coaching job, league sources tell ESPN.
