Tyronn Lue Will Meet With Luke Walton and Brian Shaw to Discuss Coaching LeBron James

Tyronn Lue told Tania Ganguli of The Los Angeles Times that he plans to tell Lakers coach Luke Walton and associate head coach Brian Shaw "LeBron's easy" when he meets with them for dinner in Las Vegas to discuss coaching the four-time MVP.

Over the last two and a half seasons in Cleveland, Lue coached James with the Cavaliers. In 2016, the pair won Cleveland its lone NBA championship by overcoming a 3-1 deficit in the Finals to beat the Warriors, who Walton was an assistant coach for at the time.

"People get this whole thing built up like he's hard to coach, it's not," Lue told Ganguli.
