With the NBA Playoffs in full swing, recent Lakers rumors have been about who the team will be hiring to be their next head coach. As many expected, the Lakers and Luke Walton parted ways after the season, leaving a vacancy at the position.
Even though the Lakers had a disappointing season this year, there are some very appealing things about the team. With LeBron James, a strong young core, cap space, and a lottery pick, the Lakers are in a good position to make some noise next season.
So far, it appears like Tyronn Lue and Monty Williams are the two front-runners for the coaching job.
