Lue spent the 2019/20 NBA season with the Clippers, serving as an assistant under Doc Rivers. When Rivers and Clippers decided to part ways after a disappointing playoff exit, Lue immediately emerged as a favorite to succeed him.

Clippers considered several other candidates but circled back to Lue. They believed that his earlier success with Cleveland Cavaliers and the ability to command the locker room would help lift an underachieving squad. Reportedly, he also received support from key Clippers’ players.

Ty Lue previously served as a head coach with Cleveland Cavaliers, leading the franchise to three consecutive NBA Finals appearances and one NBA title in 2016. He previously won two NBA rings with Los Angeles Lakers as a player.

Since being fired by the Cavs after a rough start in the 2018/19 NBA season, Lue was mentioned as a candidate for several openings, including the Lakers’ one after they parted ways with Luke Walton. He didn’t manage to get the terms he wanted from the Lakers, so he instead opted to assist Rivers for a year before getting back into head coaching.

Lue also interviewed with Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans in the past weeks, but coaching All-Stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, coupled with being in LA, made him choose the Clippers.

Lue traveled to Houston over the weekend to interview for the team’s job and expressed optimism about the possibility of coaching the team.

Lue reportedly impressed in his interview with Rockets brass, which is looking for a candidate who will replace the newly-departed Mike D’Antoni. The Rockets and D’Antoni mutually agreed to part ways following their Conference Semifinals exit, another in a long stream of disappointing performances in the playoffs.

The former NBA point guard’s only previous head coaching job was with the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2016 to 2018. In parts of four seasons with the team, Lue accumulated a 128-83 record with three NBA Finals appearances, including the Cavs’ miracle run to the 2016 title.

Lue served as an assistant under Doc Rivers for the Clippers during the 2019-20 season, and is reportedly being courted by the LA team for their head coaching vacancy as well after Rivers’ dismissal.

Keep an eye out to see if Lue makes his decision this week, as it certainly appears that he will land in a head coaching job somewhere in the immediate future.

This move will see Lue being reunited with Doc Rivers, who gave him his first coaching job. Rivers hired Lue as part of Boston Celtics staff back in 2009 and brought him along when he took the job with the Clippers in 2013.

Tyronn Lue last served as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who fired him in October 2018 after 0-6 start of the season. During his time in Cleveland, he posted 128-83 record and went to three straight NBA Finals while winning the NBA title in 2016

Lue was one of the favorites to take over Los Angeles Lakers after the departure of Luke Walton this summer, but ended up pulling out of the negotiations. Reportedly, Lakers didn’t present him with a good offer, and the organization wanted to have a say in hiring the coaching staff.

Lue, who is 42 years old has still not accepted the offer but sources say that both sides are focusing on the parameters of the contract. Also, the sources say that if Lue accepts the offer and takes the job, the former coach of the Orlando Magic team and the Indiana Pacers, could be joining him as a lead assistant. There is a possibility that Kurt Rambis, a former Lakers coach and player whose wife Linda is an adviser to the owner of the Lakers, Jeanie Buss, has a significant role in the process. 

Tyronn Lue has played as a point guard for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and from there he was selected by the Denver Nuggets during the NBA Draft of 1998’s first round. After that they traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers. Lue has coached the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James during two and a half seasons. 

The Los Angeles Lakers planned to hire Monty Williams for the position of a head coach, but he was hired by the Phoenix Suns last Friday, scrapping their plan.
