The Los Angeles Lakers are set to hire Tyronn Lue as their next head coach, and if one thing is clear about him already, it’s that he wants to bring on a strong assistant coaching staff.
As Lue is finalizing his deal, there are reports that he’s trying to bring former Lakers advance scout — and previous Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic head coach — Frank Vogel on as his lead assistant. And back when Lue was still interviewing for the job, he was already trying to get former Chicago Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Tom Thibodeau to be his lead assistant.
