Report: LeBron's agent complained to Adam Silver about Luke Walton

The Los Angeles Lakers continue to dominate headlines for the wrong reasons, as a report surfaced Tuesday morning which details how LeBron James' camp wanted the organization to fire now-former head coach Luke Walton.

During a November lunch meeting between Adam Silver and members of James' business team, the superstar's agent, Rich Paul, approached the league's commissioner to tell him that Walton wasn't the right coach for the Lakers, sources told ESPN's Baxter Holmes.

Silver reportedly shrugged off the comments and asked Paul who the right coach would be, to which James' agent apparently replied with Tyronn Lue - James' former bench boss with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Rumors persisted throughout the season that Walton's job was in jeopardy, but he ultimately didn't part ways with the Lakers until after their 37-45 campaign was complete. According to Holmes, Paul had back-channel discussions with media, during which he criticized Walton's lineup decisions and minutes distribution.

In his bombshell TV interview on May 20, former Lakers president Magic Johnson told ESPN that the "straw that broke the camel's back" in his resignation was his inability to fire Walton.
