When the Cleveland Cavaliers fired David Blatt in 2016, it was reported by Adrian Wojnarowski (then of Yahoo Sports) that LeBron James (then with the Cavs) and his reps at Klutch Sports tried to push the team to hire Mark Jackson (who was, at that point, repped by Klutch).
Still with me? Well, that was all put to rest when then-Cavaliers general manager David Griffin shot the idea down and eventually promoted Tyronn Lue to be the team’s next head coach, but the whole escapade has long led to assumptions that James and Klutch might eventually do the same thing with the Lakers.
