Since coming to the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James has seen the organization hire three different head coaches.
James started his Lakers tenure with Luke Walton who was fired after their first season together. Afterward, Los Angeles went on to hire Frank Vogel after discussions with other candidates like Monty Williams and Tyronn Lue. Although Vogel landed the job, he was widely considered to be the team’s third choice behind Williams and Lue.
Lue, in particular, seemed like the perfect hire for the Lakers because of his ties to the franchise and experience coaching James to a title during their time together with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
