Doc Rivers was warned about potentially taking over the Los Angeles Lakers job due to the environment surrounding LeBron James, according to Michael Wilbon.

"There are people in southern California right now in that environment telling Doc he doesn't wanna do this. And one of those reasons is simply, LeBron James. He's been told by people—and I know this—LeBron doesn't want to be coached. He's never been coached by someone with that kind of personality, command, authority, acumen, intellect. He's rejected that. So Doc is being reminded of that by people," said Wilbon on "Pardon the Interruption."

Addressing the Lakers' rumors, Rivers said that he verbally agreed to a long-term extension to stay with the Clippers.
