Report: Tyronn Lue meeting with LA Clippers on Saturday

The Clippers head coach interviewing process is officially beginning.

Transcript

00:00 The LA Clippers will be interviewing Tyronn Lue for their head coaching position on Saturday.

00:06 Lue is going to be in high demand during this offseason as he's already meeting with the

00:09 New Orleans Pelicans today, the Clippers on Saturday, and then the Rockets the next day.

00:15 So it kind of brings the question that the Clippers are actually beginning their head

00:19 coaching interview process immediately.

00:22 As quickly as Doc Rivers found a new job, the Clippers are looking for someone to fill

00:25 that job.

00:26 And if they're going to get Tyronn Lue, they're going to get him sooner than later, because

00:30 at some point he's going to get taken up very, very quickly.

00:33 And initial reports from reporters like Mark Steiner saying that Tyronn Lue is the coaching

00:38 favorite for the LA Clippers.

00:40 Now, it'd be pretty easy to assume that they don't want to get an experimental coach like

00:46 a Becky Hammond or like a new type of Nick Nurse, because the Clippers have a very short

00:51 window.

00:53 This upcoming season is going to be their most pressure-filled season in franchise history.

00:57 Kawhi and PG are on their final contract years.

01:00 They disappointed in a major, major way the previous year, and Kawhi wants to win now.

01:06 So all signs point to needing a championship coach, and the only one kind of available

01:11 is Tyronn Lue.
