Since Magic Johnson‘s surprise resignation, a lot has been said about the Los Angeles Lakers future trajectory due to Rob Pelinka’s terrible reputation. The Lakers still have one trump card in LeBron James and cannot hesitate to pull him out to save this franchise.
Much has been made about appointing Ty Lue as the next head coach due to his ties with James but any person who has been around the two says Ty Lue did not pull his punches when LBJ was in the wrong.
The Lakers need a coach who has the respect of LeBron James and that can connect with the younger players, Lue fits that bill while also has shown the expertise in X’s and O’s.
