Ty Lue and the Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to a contract extension that will make him one of the NBA's highest-paid coaches.
Lue was elevated to head coach of the Clippers in 2020 and guided the team to the Western Conference Finals in the following season.
Lue had one season remaining on his contract and was a target of teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns.

Physically, location wise, is it the same bench, no?

I love Thibs but he's not getting that type of money.

Thibs is a two time COY on two different teams. He just coached the best Knicks team in 24 years.
How many COYs does Lue have? OK, he’s got a Championship and many Finals appearances… so Thibs is a mil or two behind.

AGAIN, I love how Coach Thibs outperform, HOWEVER, he tends to run his players to the ground, which leads them to not wanting to play for them.

Not true… he has never had a player “run to the ground” who didn’t want to play for him.
Also, playing players has nothing to do with a coach’s contract. Coaches get paid based on results.
