coach Ty Lue has agreed on a new long-term contract that will make him one of the NBA's highest-paid coaches, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.
Lue's deal delivers a significant element of stability for the Clippers franchise with some roster uncertainty looming this offseason. In his stops with the Clippers and, where he won the 2016 NBA championship, Lue has established himself as one of the league's most respected and sought-after coaches.
Lue has spent much of his tenure adapting lineups and schemes to work around injuries to his stars. In 2023-24, Lue had to adjust a week into the regular season when the Clippers traded for Harden three games into the season. After the trade, the Clippers lost six straight -- including five with Harden in the lineup. Eventually, Lue and the Clippers turned around the season, including a 26-5 stretch that had them atop the Western Conference standings in early February.
