Lue is the favorite to get the Lakers job because of his relationship with LeBron. He was an assistant coach with the Boston Celtics and LA Clippers before he joined the Cavs as an assistant in 2014.

Lue, of course, also played for the Lakers during his playing days and was part of the 2001 title team which defeated Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers.

If the Lakers fire Walton, expect Lue or Jackson to get the job.
