Report: Rich Paul Complained to Adam Silver About Luke Walton Early in the Season

LeBron James' agent and business partner Rich Paul reportedly made NBA commissioner Adam Silver aware that he did not believe Luke Walton was the right coach for the Los Angeles Lakers.

According to a report from ESPN's Baxter Holmes, Paul met with Silver in November while the commissioner was meeting with Maverick Carter for lunch. Paul, who was seated at a nearby table, approached Silver to complain about Walton.

Silver "shrugged off the remark" and asked whom Paul thought would be the right coach. Paul suggested former Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue, according to Holmes.
