Is it that Tyronn Lue will still be the Clippers coach at the start of the school year? A priori, the question does not arise since the former Clippers coach has never been criticized since his arrival in Los Angeles, and each year he does his best despite the recurring injuries of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Lue proves to the Clippers that he is an inventive technician, but also able to get the best out of his squad.
Under contract until 2025, Lue can therefore see it coming, and he could even raise the stakes! According Yahoo Sports!, he would be on the Bucks’ “short list” to replace Mike Budenholzer. In Milwaukee, we would have two coaches in the sights: Lue therefore, but also Monty Williams, just cut by the Suns.
About the Suns precisely, Lue would also be on the shelves of the new owner, Mat Ishbia. Mark Stein reports that the Phoenix franchise will study the contractual situation and see if it is possible to recover Lue. It is hard to see Steve Ballmer giving Lue to a direct opponent. But it wouldn’t be the first time a contracted coach has been ‘transferred’, and more often than not draft rounds are included.
