The future of Luke Walton as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers has been a topic of discussion this season as he was hired before Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka were hired.

"We know since Magic's taken over, they have been hoping to get their own coach in at some point," said Adrian Wojnarowski. "We saw it play in the meeting they had when Magic really went after Luke."

Jeanie Buss has so far protected the job security of Walton while allowing Johnson and Pelinka to overhaul all other aspects of the franchise.

Wojnarowski added that Walton doesn't fit Johnson's mold of what a head coach should be with Pat Riley as the template.
