Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra knows a thing or two about coaching LeBron James, and Spoelstra thinks Luke Walton is the “perfect guy” to be coaching LeBron and the Los Angeles Lakers:
Spoelstra calls Lakers' Luke Walton "the perfect guy to coach that team."

Spoelstra coached LeBron for four seasons after The King took his talents to South Beach from the Cleveland Cavaliers. The two reached the NBA Finals all four seasons, with two championships to their name in 2012 and 2013.
Now, after finally bringing a title to Cleveland, LeBron is trying to reached the promised land with the legendary Lakers, and Walton is the man attempting to lead them there. There have already been some rumblings about Walton's job security, though Magic Johnson has insisted there will be no coaching change this season.
The Lakers are off to a so-so start at 8-7. Walton has been trying to figure out his rotations with so many new faces, including James. Los Angeles did just go on a four-game winning streak, though that was snapped by the Orlando Magic on Saturday night.
The Lakers and Heat are squaring off Sunday down in Miami. Spoelstra's crew has had their own issues as they're 6-9 to start the season. The Heat have lost four of their last five games.
