ESPN.com's Brian Windhorst appeared on The Rich Eisen Show on Friday and said he's been contacted by executives and agents who believe Luke Walton may not be long for the Los Angeles Lakers.

"Whatever you want to say about LaVar Ball, he has smoked out the fact that the Lakers do not support Luke Walton," Windhorst said (h/t Slam's Ryne Nelson). "And that is now crystal-clear."

Windhorst added: "And there are now guys out there wondering openly to me—executives, coaches, agents—who the Lakers are going to hire as their next coach."

Beyond that, Windhorst cited agents and executives who think the Lakers are "probably going to hire" former Miami Heatassistant and former Memphis Grizzlies head coach David Fizdale if Walton is let go.

Lavar in the cut like..

That white boy aint going no where.

Kind of goes against the the type of Franchise Magic is building. He said he wanted to get rid of the negative connotation that became associated with the Lakers and their Front office management and how they handle the team. This seems unnecessary unless they think the Lakers are severely underachieving, which doesn't seem evident to me...

If luke was to get fired this season or off season. Be prepared for all these white coaches, execs, sports radio hosts to go extra hard caping for Luke. They not gonna like a young white coach not getting enough time with a young team

If Luke has lost the team then he's lost the team.

Fizdale is a good coach.

[Admiral Ackbar]

writers just covering they own asses after it was revealed that Lavar didn't say all that shyt about Luke.

 

[Sccit]

YEA OK

 

[ALonelyDad]

Nba media is pathetic, his whole reporting is based on speculation because Magic and Pelinka didn’t speak publicly on Lavar when he shytted on Luke. He is safe and going nowhere lol
