Tyronn Lue sat on the first floor of the Clippers’ practice facility Wednesday for his introductory news conference as the team’s new coach. “We had to get the best of the best, and the best of the best is Ty Lue,” Ballmer said. “I learned a lot from Doc, but I’ve also learned a lot from a lot of other coaches around the league because I’m always studying, I’m always trying to get better,” Lue said. Jerry West, the Hall of Fame player and executive who serves as the Clippers’ consultant, drafted Lue with the Lakers in 1998. I think a lot of leadership has to come from me, has to come from Kawhi, PG, Lou [Williams] and Pat Beverley.
