There is not much risk in saying that Tyron Lue will coach Los Angeles next season. But which team: the Clippers or the Lakers? There, it's more vague since the seconds have just separated from Darvin Ham. The place is therefore free and the Clippers coach is among the targets of the Lakers leaders.
Also now on vacation, after his men's defeat in Game 6 in Dallas, the coach was asked about his future. “I don’t really have any comments to make on that. It's nice to be wanted, it's always nice. But, I said, I want to be here and I hope we can make that happen.”he replies.
If the question arises, it is obviously because we must convince LeBron James to stay with the Lakers and bringing in his former coach from Cleveland, with whom he won the title in 2016, would be a strong sign.
But also because Tyronn Lue will be at the end of his contract at the end of the 2024/25 season. According to the Los Angeles Timesthe Clippers imagine keeping their coach for a long time and the idea would be to offer him a contract extension this summer.
Next season will be important for the Clippers, not only to bounce back after this failure in the first round of the playoffs, but especially because it will be the first in Inglewood, in their new room and under their new identity. The beginning of a new era.
