Clippers, Ty Lue Not Close On Extension

Clippers, Ty Lue Not Close On Extension

The Los Angeles Clippers have a lot of questions that need to be answered, and one of them concerns their championship-winning head coach.

Per the reports of The Athletics’ Shams Charania, there hasn’t been any progress made on either side coming to terms with each other. For reference, he is entering the final year of his deal with Los Angeles.

“They want to extend him,” said Shams Charania. “To my knowledge, right there hasn’t been any progress in those conversations.”

Despite the Clippers wanting to retain him, there’s always been this feeling of Lue going to coach a different team after his contract expires. Teams like the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers were very much interested in hiring him, however, the Clippers had no interest in terminating his contract or making a coach-related trade.
