NBA rumors: Execs claim LeBron James wants Tyronn Lue to replace Lakers' Darvin Ham

The Los Angeles Lakers saw another disappointing season come to an end, and certain NBA executives are speculating that LeBron James' former coach Tyronn Lue may be a prime candidate to steer the franchise as its next head coach. Lue coached James during his second stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers for two-and-a-half seasons from 2016 to 2018. A potential marriage between the Lakers and Lue is hinged on a decision on Darvin Ham's tenure with the squad and the Los Angeles Clippers possibly making a change after four seasons and a Western Conference Finals finish in 2021.
