The Clippers' perfect Tyronn Lue replacement is flying under the radar

Tyronn Lue is riding out the 2016 championship like it's an unlimited lifetime pass to coach NBA basketball. For nearly a decade, that ring has shielded him from accountability, but the LA Clippers are 7-21 now, and the train has arrived at the station.

After Monday night's embarrassing 121-103 home loss to the Memphis Grizzlies and Thursday night's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Steve Ballmer inexplicably continues to cling to the "stability" of keeping Lue and Lawrence Frank in place.

Meanwhile, a championship-winning coach is sitting at home who would be the perfect replacement: Michael Malone.
