With all the talk about Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham possibly being fired, it has brought up the thought of who would replace him. Ham has been with the team for two seasons but has come under fire this year for his failure to maximize the Los Angeles roster.
With the future of star LeBron James in doubt, it’s thought that the Lakers may try to let him have more influence in who becomes the next coach if Ham is let go. According to NBA insider Sean Deveney of Heavy Sports, James has a specific name in mind and it’s a familiar one to him.
“If it was all up to LeBron, he’d have Ty Lue as his coach and he would do that with the Lakers,” one Eastern Conference executive said. “That’s his guy. Out of all the coaches LeBron has ever had, the one he singles out is Ty. Now he is in a position where he has free-agency on his side and he can maybe force the team to do something to get his guy if he gets fired.
