NBA Head Coaches continue to earn increasing salaries as new deals are agreed upon, with a Pacific division now retaining (and giving a raise to) their coach.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Los Angeles Clippers and head coach Tyronn Lue have agreed to a new contract extension “that will make him one of the NBA’s highest-paid coaches.”
Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank had been eager to secure Lue on a new deal and negotiations with his agent Andy Miller of Klutch Sports reached a finalized agreement in recent days, sources said. https://t.co/Iz3rFXvApZ

With a new stadium beginning next season, Tyronn Lue is now locked in, although the exact year and dollar figure amount are currently unclear. With a star-studded lineup featuring the likes of Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook, injuries have complicated their process in recent years.
With a few of those names heading into free agency, it’ll be intriguing to monitor their movement, but we now know we can expect Tyronn Lue to continue functioning as their head coach.
