The Lakers have failed to reach the playoffs for the last three seasons.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to thank Jeanie Buss and the Buss family for giving me the opportunity to coach the Lakers,&#8221; said Walton. &#8220;This franchise and the city will always be special to me and my family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Magic Johnson plunged the Lakers into further crisis when he surprisingly quit his post as president. Johnson was reportedly unhappy at the prospect of firing Walton.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the addition of future hall of famer James 10 months ago, the Lakers went 37-45 in what was another embarrassing losing season for the once-storied NBA franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles was 20-14 when James suffered a groin injury during a Christmas Day win over the champion Golden State Warriors &#8212; and it was downhill from there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They are losing one of the best human beings in the NBA,&#8221; said Warriors coach Steve Kerr of Walton and the Lakers. &#8220;They are losing a guy who knows the game as well as anybody I&#8217;ve ever met. They are losing somebody who the players believe in and the players want to play for.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel for Luke. He was dependent on circumstances just like all of us &#8230;. We got wonderful people stabilizing our organization every day. I am lucky to be in this position and to be surrounded by these people. It doesn&#8217;t happen often in the NBA.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What was supposed to be a revival story turned into a season-long nightmare that saw the losses and injuries pile up and eventually led to the club sitting star players like a healthy James down the stretch in a desperate attempt to secure a better pick at the summer entry draft. The team used more than 25 different starting lineups this season.<\/p>\n<p>But even that strategy isn&#8217;t a sure thing as tanking became such a big problem that the NBA was forced to bring in a lottery system to determine the order of the top draft picks.<\/p>\n<p>The Lakers will not only be hunting for a new coach but also a big-ticket free agent as a right-hand man to James. All-star Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and Kyrie Irving top the list of possible targets when free agency begins July 1.<\/p>\n<p>The Lakers are the fourth NBA franchise to unload their coach since the end of the regular season on Wednesday, following Memphis, Sacramento and James&#8217;s former team Cleveland.<\/p>\n<p>Among the candidates for the Lakers&#8217; job is Tyronn Lue, who coached James in Cleveland, and Philadelphia 76ers assistant Monty Williams.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I liked playing for him,&#8221; Lakers guard Josh Hart said. &#8220;He\u2019s a player\u2019s coach. Lets you kind of play your game, play with passion, so it was fun to play for him. I think he\u2019ll get another job fairly quickly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Walton may not be unemployed for long as the Sacramento Kings are reportedly interested in interviewing him for their vacant post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES, United States, Apr 13 &#8211; The Los Angeles Lakers continued their clearout after a disastrous first season following the arrival of LeBron James by terminating the contract of head coach Luke Walton on Friday.
