"data-reactid =" 18 "> Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss has announced that she will hand over to Magic Johnson for the future of the head coach Lakers, Luke Walton. Apparently, LeBron James wants Walton out, and several other candidates, including Ty Lue and Jason Kidd, have been named to replace him.

We already know that the Lakers are not qualified for the playoffs. The first season of LeBron in Los Angeles is about to officially end. As such, it seems like James is starting to try a little PR recovery when it comes to Walton.

James sat near Spectrum Sportsnet with Allie Clifton for an interview of nearly eleven minutes. When it came to Walton, he had the impression that the young coach had reacted as best he could in the circumstances of the Lakers.

"I mean, as well as you could. As good as you can. Nobody expects a suspension at the opening night (Rondo and Ingram in the home opening match). No one expects injuries to occur as they have been with our franchise this year. Where your starting guard came out for many games. Your little one before departure is out. Your departure guard, B.I., is absent. Josh is hurt. Rondo is hurt. I'm not talking about two or three games here, everyone is back in training. We are talking about 15, 20, 25 games. I saw something the other day where myself, B. I., Zo and Kuz only played 23 games together this year. 15-8. We had a defensive score of fourth in the NBA, and we were like seventh in attack when we played together more than 23 games. As good as it is, it is not enough for Luke to know what he has consistently, when you do not have a consistent lineup every night of the season. As you said, control what you can control and you have to play the hand you dealt, and I think he played it as well as he could. "

Where there is smoke, there is usually shooting and it looks as if Walton started training his last game for the Lakers. All the rumors that James does not want Walton in Los Angeles must be counterbalanced by something, so James gives him a little credit, it's at least something.

I'm not sure it's anything other than LeBron who wants to soften the point of view of his opinion of Walton on the pages of the story, but we are there.
