Former Magic and Pacers coach Frank Vogel is traveling to Los Angeles on Thursday to interview for the Lakers' head-coaching position, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Lakers and Tyronn Lue, who had been a favorite to fill their head-coach vacancy because of his X's and O's knowledge and his strong relationship with LeBron James, have ended contract talks, league sources said.
Negotiations between the Los Angeles Lakers and Ty Lue have reached an impasse without a deal to make him the franchise's next head coach, league sources tell ESPN.
On his HBO show "The Shop," LeBron James said he was stunned and in disbelief when told before the Lakers' season finale that Magic Johnson had abruptly stepped down as president of basketball operations.
The Lakers are proceeding toward offering their head-coaching job to Ty Lue, league sources told ESPN.
The Lakers are proceeding toward an offer to Ty Lue in the coming days, and have no plans to introduce new candidates into the head coaching search process, league sources tell Ramona Shelburne and me.
The expectation is the Lakers will move toward Ty Lue as head coach, but there's been no offer made to him yet, league sources tell ESPN.
Though LeBron James didn't make the playoffs in his first season in Los Angeles, his move to the Lakers paid off in jersey sales.
