The news comes on the heels of Kenny Atkinson emerging as a candidate to join the Clippers staff.

Tyronn Lue laid out of his expectations for the upcoming Los Angeles Clippers season during his introductory press conference, with an emphasis on leadership and getting the most out of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.

Lue challenged George and Leonard to show that they're the best two-way players in the league.

"[Leonard and George] are going to have to adjust to my system and my program. But also I also have to be able to adjust to their comfort zone and what makes them better.

"Also setting the tone defensively of being the two best two-way players in the league. I think it starts on the defensive end with those two guys with setting a tone defensively," said Lue, who also emphasized keeping the duo healthy.

Lue blamed the Clippers' lack of team chemistry last season on George, Paul, and Patrick Beverley missing games due to injuries.

Lue added that leadership will be a collective responsibility between himself and the team's veterans. 

"I think a lot of leadership has to come from me, has to come from Kawhi, PG, Lou and Pat Beverley. It's going to be collective.

"I got to show them different ways of leadership and they got to show me different ways of leadership. I don't know everything. They don't know everything. ... The biggest thing about leadership is just communication."

Ty Lue's five-year deal with the Los Angeles Clippers is believed to be worth around $7 million per season, sources told Jovan Buha and Joe Vardon of The Athletic.

The Clippers were impressed with Lue and one other candidate, but considered Lue to be an "elite tactician."

Paul George and Kawhi Leonard were consulted on the hire, and both players were on board with Lue's hiring.

Lue's plans to improve the team include better ball movement, playing at a faster pace, and more experimentation on the defensive end.

Lue also plans on staggering George and Leonard's minutes to test out different role players.

The Clippers want better synergy between the coaching staff and the front office, with Lue open to working with the front office to fill out his coaching staff. 

Chauncey Billups was initially hired to be Lue's lead assistant.

The preferential treatment that Kawhi Leonard received from the Los Angeles Clippers last season "ruffled the feathers of some teammates," sources told Jovan Buha and Joe Vardon of The Athletic. 

Patrick Beverley, Montrezl Harrell and Lou Williams reportedly "bristled" when Leonard was allowed to take games off. Leonard played in 57 games last season. 

Leonard, who lived in San Diego last year, was also "often" late for team flights. 

In addition, Leonard was allowed to control when he was pulled from games. 

The team hired Ty Lue to replace Doc Rivers as head coach on Thursday.

The Clippers plan on having Leonard and Paul George on the roster "for multiple years."

The Los Angeles Clippers will hire Chauncey Billups as a lead assistant coach on the staff of Ty Lue.
