Former NBA point guard and current ESPN NBA analyst Chauncey Billups says the Los Angeles Lakers were “disrespectful” to Tyronn Lue.

The Lakers reportedly only offered Lue a three-year deal and wanted to pick his coaching staff.

Billups says Los Angeles didn't show Lue, who has won an NBA championship both as a player and coach, any respect.

“The dysfunction obviously starts at the top anywhere, period,” Billups said during ESPN's NBA Countdown, via Chicco Nacion of The Score. “But to offer this dude three years, when you’re just coming off offering Luke (Walton) five? And to try and pick his staff? You didn’t pick Luke’s staff. It’s disrespectful. I don't know what they're doing. I don't know where they're going.

“The disrespect is unbelievable that they’ve given to Ty Lue. He’s a championship coach. This is an organization with 16 championships. You would think that they would value a champion, but they haven't.”

Everyone who follows the NBA was shocked when the Lakers didn't hire Lue. He coached LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers and has a good rapport with The King. You would think that would be enough for the Purple and Gold franchise to hire him.

However, negotiations between the Lakers and Lue didn't go well and Lue eventually told LA he was not interested in taking the job anymore. LA is a mess right now.
