LeBron wanted the Lakers to hire Ty Lue as their coach.
Ty Lue was a perfect candidate for them.
He was a great coach, former Laker.
That matters to them.
Had a good relationship with LeBron.
And this goes back to the Buss family stuff.
They said no.
And they offered him – or I shouldn't say they said no.
They offered him a three-year contract that was well below market value that he refused to take.
But if –
Again, with the lawyers, you have to be very clear.
They didn't say no.
They just offered him a deal that they believe he should have accepted.
So that's a great example to me of, and that was LeBron's year two.
That wasn't after the Westbrook trade.
That wasn't after the issues.
That was LeBron's there year two.
And they say, yeah, we're not going to hire a coach.
So LeBron is a good example.
There are other points to me.
