Especially not when Ballmer just gave Ty Lue $14 mil to coach the Clippers.
Can the Buss family afford $18 mil per year for a head coach? The family’s net worth is like $700 mil and that is all from owning the Lakers reportedly. Not paupers by any means but evidently they have the lowest net worth among NBA owners. I read that Todd Boehly and Mark Walter own minority shares in the Lakers. I know little about Walter but from his time at Chelsea, Boehly does not appear to be a guy who is giving a head coach $18 million without more of a controlling interest in the organization overall.
