After a strong second interview where he came in ready to talk Xs and Os but also made an emotional connection with the franchise and owner Jeanie Buss, Tyronn Lue has been the frontrunner to land the Lakers head coaching job, sources had told NBC Sports. Now with Monty Williams off the table because he has agreed to go to Phoenix, the Lakers are going to make that offer to Lue, reports Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne of ESPN. The Lakers are proceeding toward an offer to Ty Lue in the coming days, and have no plans to introduce new candidates into the head coaching search process, league sources tell @ramonashelburne and me.
