Tyronn Lue agreed to a lengthy-expression agreement with the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Lue will turn into a single of the NBA’s best-paid out coaches, per Wojnarowski.
The 47-12 months-aged Lue had 1 12 months remaining on his agreement. In his 4 seasons as head coach of the Clippers, Lue went 184-134 and led the crew to a few playoff appearances, which includes the franchise’s initially trip to the Western Convention Finals in the 2020-21 year.
Prior to his Clippers stint, Lue gained an NBA championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015-16 season.
Through his tenure in Los Angeles, Lue has deftly navigated persistent accidents to star gamers Kawhi Leonard and Paul George—the duo has only been in the lineup for 45% of Lue’s video games as head coach—as perfectly as added critical parts such as James Harden and Russell Westbrook. This previous period noticed a largely healthful Clippers staff finish fourth in the West with a 51-31 record and gain a berth to the playoffs, but the Clippers had been eliminated by the Dallas Mavericks in the initially round.
