The head coach Luke Walton Era is over for the Los Angeles Lakers.
There’s no time to waste for Owner Jeanie Buss and GM Rob Pelinka as front runner Ty Lue and Monty Williams are set for their second interviews this upcoming week.
Pelinka will meet with Lue, former Cavaliers Head Coach, and Williams, Philadelphia 76ers assistant, this week after previous interviews were reported as good. It is also reported that Jeanie Buss will be present in the interviewing process and that she will have a strong say in the hiring of the position.
It has been a tumultuous season for the Lakers, and more so for Lebron James. The hiring process is crucial for the offseason as the coach in waiting will need to be appealing to potential free agents.
The Lakers are down to two candidates, and they need to get a deal done as soon as possible.
