Tyronn Lue is set to enter the final season of his current contract with the Los Angeles Clippers in 24-25 if an extension isn’t reached this offseason. Both the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns had interest in Lue, but it was made clear that the Clippers wouldn’t entertain letting him out of his contract.
The Clippers would like to extend Lue, but those conversations reportedly haven’t progressed.
“They want to extend him,” said Shams Charania. “To my knowledge, right there hasn’t been any progress in those conversations.”
Over the past year, the NBA has seen a large increase in contract values for head coaches from Monty Williams and Gregg Popvoich to Erik Spoelstra and Steve Kerr with top coaches making more than $10 million per season.
