The Los Angeles Lakers plan on letting Luke Walton finish the season, according to Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t want to see him make a few changes.
According to the report by Turner, the Lakers’ front office wants to see Walton improve as a leader and tactician:
The Lakers just want Walton to hold his players “accountable”. The Lakers want to see player and team improvement and to see Walton make better in-game adjustments, people said.
Walton has been criticized for inconsistent rotations since he took over as head coach in 2016 and it was even one of the topics brought up in the Lakers’ heated locker room spat earlier this month.
