Over the last week, there have been a lot of reports and rumors to surface about Luke Walton and his job security — or lack thereof — with the Los Angeles Lakers.
There have been rumors about the various candidates that could replace Walton, and that Lakers owner Jeanie Buss won’t stand in the front office’s way if they want to move on from the third-year head coach.
Walton responded to those whispers by saying that he fully expects to coach the Lakers next year, and Tyronn Lue — one of the most oft-rumored candidates to replace Walton — reportedly called him to let him know the Lakers haven’t reached out to him about the job.
