Most people expect that Luke Walton's days as the Lakers head coach are numbered.
At this point, the question is not whether or not Walton will be fired, but if he will survive the season or not.
Las Vegas has their thoughts on who should be the next Lakers head coach, and now you can wager on which coach will suit up on the sidelines for LeBron and the Laker Show next season.
The favorites are two former point guards, including one who not only used to play for the Lakers, but won two championships with Los Angeles in 2000 and 2001, and then again as a coach of LeBron in Cleveland in 2016.
Lue was fired by the Cavaliers earlier this season and LeBron immediately tweeted out his support for his former coach by saying: "You know how to contact me if you need me."
Lue currently has an informal role with the Los Angeles Clippers.
The other overwhelming favorite is future Hall of Famer Jason Kidd who has had brief stints as head coach of the Nets and Milwaukee Bucks in recent years.
