Tyronn Lue led Cleveland Cavaliers to three consecutive NBA Finals and one title, but that wasn’t enough for him to keep his job after 0-6 start in the 2018/19 season. Looking back to Cavs’ decision now, Lue thinks that the organization made a mistake.

Lue, who currently serves on Doc Rivers’ staff with Los Angeles Clippers, recently had a sit down with The Athletic’s Joe Vardon and said that he thinks he shouldn’t have been fired by the Cavaliers.

“I don’t think it should’ve happened” said Lue. “When it happened, I just kind of — it puts everything in perspective. You don’t see that very often where a coach goes to three straight finals and wins a championship and gets fired six games into (the season). You probably have never seen it.”

Lue wishes he was still at the helm of Cavaliers, thinking he and general manager Koby Altman could have done a good job in Cleveland despite the departure of LeBron James.

“What I tried to build there, I think the culture I tried to set. I thought we could do it together. Koby (Altman) being a young GM, me being a young coach, having young players,” he added.

Reportedly, one of the reasons for Tyronn Lue’s exit was his wish to field a competitive team after James’ exit. The management, on the other side, wanted Lue to focus more on the future and give younger players a chance. This eventually caused the disagreement between two sides, and Lue ended up being fired.

Lue took the year off after finishing his stint with Cleveland and entered the running for the Los Angeles Lakers’ job this offseason. He ended up deciding to turn the offer, as the organization wanted to give him only a three-year deal while forcing him to take Jason Kidd as one of his assistants.

Tyronn Lue is inching closer to become the next head coaching choice for Los Angeles Lakers. After Monty Williams took the Phoenix Suns’ offer, Lue emerged as the Lakers’ preferred choice, and now the two sides started working on a deal.

League sources recently told Yahoo Sports that Lakers and Lue are currently working on coaching contract agreement and are refining contractual parameters. The sources also note that Lue still hasn’t given the organization a definitive “yes” on taking the job.

If Tyronn Lue ends up becoming the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, he is expected to bring former Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic’s coach Frank Vogel as his lead assistant.

Ever since Lakers’ began their coaching search, Lue was one of the favorites due to his connections with Lakers organizations and the fact that he is an NBA Championship-winning coach. He also has strong relationships with the franchise’s star LeBron James, something that the Lakers had in mind during the process. The 42-year-old also reportedly impressed owner Jeanie Buss and general manager Rob Pelinka during the interviews with his basketball knowledge and the plan he has to bring the NBA title back to Los Angeles.

Tyronn Lue served as head coach of Cleveland Cavaliers for two and a half seasons, during which he made three consecutive NBA Finals trips and won one title. He was fired on the start of 2018/19 season after going 0-6 at the start of the season. Lue’s head coaching record with the Cavs is 128-83.
