When Luke Walton signed on to be head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers in 2016, the team was coming off of its worst season in franchise history and the front office had no clear plan for the future. Almost two years later, Walton will have the opportunity to coach the Lakers back to playoffs with the help of arguably the greatest basketball player alive in LeBron James.
In an interview on Spectrum SportsNet’s “Connected With,” Walton expressed his eagerness to coach the four-time league MVP this season and what his presence has meant for the franchise.
