Luke Walton is no longer head coach of the Lakers. The sides mutually parted. https://t.co/7bnnLfn7uY

Ty Lue is a strong frontrunner for the Lakers coaching job, league sources tell ESPN.

LMFAOOOOOOO
walton will prly be hired by the Kings
Monty also a candidate
The Monty Williams candidacy is a serious one with the Lakers, league sources tell ESPN. He has history with LeBron James as a Team USA assistant and a successful run w/ Pelicans as a head coach. Ty Lue checks the boxes too: ex-Laker, championship coach, LeBron James-approved.

I hope Monty does not get stuck being Lebron's stooge.
Update: Source tells @TheAthleticNBA that Kings GM Vlade Divac and Luke Walton have already met today and are in the late stages of finalizing a multi-year deal.

Yeah. I like Monty too much to want to see him burn in that fire.
I wondered if the Monty hire would be more bait for AD after his contract expires.

The Suns just fired their coach of a year, and are looking to hire Minty.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.

LA times also has the report up

Phoenix may be a better spot for Monty than the Lakers (although I would think the Suns would prefer an uptempo team).
PHX better hurry up
Here's a factor in the timing of Kokoskov's dismissal: The Suns are planning to target Philadelphia 76ers assistant Monty Williams, league sources tell ESPN. Lakers are planning a second interview with Williams soon, sources said.

I thought Dave Joerger would surely get more interviews for openings than he’s had thus far.
