While the Lakers are content to run Showtime without a president, they are close to naming Ty Lue as their next head coach. And with Monty fully gone, it is only now that Lue is the presumptive next head coach. Lue as the head coach is a foregone conclusion, yet what is now taking time is presumably a lot of quibbling over contract minutiae. “He wanted to understand, with Phoenix and the Lakers, he wanted answers.”While Lue seemingly bought into the Lakers being the Lakers, Wojnarowski seems to suggest that Williams had some questions. Lue may soon be the head coach, but the team is in serious need of a leader.
