Current NBA coaches thinking they have any power in an org over a superstar player is delusional.

The funny thing is he'll probably win a championship and then be framed as some type of guru for winning with the most talented team in the league. Without the bubble weirdness I think they would have won this year.

We don't really have any strong indications of Lue's coaching style. He took over for David Blatt the year they won the title, and made only minor changes in my memory. He put Kevin Love in better spots, but mostly we only thought of those Cavs as Lebronball and Lebron's team. Lue's winning percentage is massive in the regular season and the playoffs, but that doesn't mean a lot when you've only coached 1 team and that team happened to be a contender (in a weak conference).
We can say for sure that Ty Lu hasn't messed up bad yet. He coached the Cavs to a title, and the Cavs never lost to a weak EC team (though they got dragged to 7 games by a 48 win Indiana team and a baby Boston squad in their final year). The defense sagged badly in Lue's time there, but that probably had to do with personnel (losing Delly, JR getting older, only adding offensive pieces to the rotation like Korver) and the fact that this team kept trading defense for more shooting.
I think this is our first real look at Ty Lue. The Clippers are mega talented but lack an identity. They just finished as a top 5 team on offense and defense (one of the biggest indicators of a championship contender), but they felt amorphous and directionless most of the year. The team lacks passing. When Kawhi Leonard is your initiator and primary/only creator, that's probably not amazing. The defense was solid all year, but I think we all thought this team had another gear of total clamp down that we didn't see when it was needed against a very good Denver defense.

"[Leonard and George] are going to have to adjust to my system and my program. But also I also have to be able to adjust to their comfort zone and what makes them better.

Is it to soon to ask why didn’t Lue get them to adjust to Doc’s system in the first place?

Wasnt Lue auditioned before they looked at Vogel, but he didnt want to coach there for "some" reason?
naw Lakers were smart enough NOT to offer him 5yr deal n he felt insulted, Lou will not last his full 5yr term

Hopefully he can find the right person to step over him in the Clippers.

He was an assistant who wasn't going to overstep the head coach who has been there seven years doing things his way. Lue was just added to the staff this year and even that was interrupted from Covid 19. He was supposed to be the Lakers head coach. Sam Cassell is the guy that's been with Doc for season after season.

"Leadership is different," Lue said. "You can talk about our two players, Kawhi and PG, they lead by example. ... And you are not going to have the best players be the natural leaders at all times. It doesn't happen like that. I think a lot of leadership has to come from me, has to come from Kawhi, PG, Lou and Pat Beverley. It's going to be collective."
RIP Trez. Really wonder what wasteland he'll end up in.

aka : I signed a longer deal than you two, so I'm trying to show some power here to legitimize that huge contract Ballmer just game me.
but everyone knows this is just tough talk because you 2 are the reason anyone cares about the Clippers.
If you guys leave, we're back to making bad lottery picks-
Oh wait we traded those all to OKC.

Ernie, LeBron James ain't walkin in through that door
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord
