According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, the Milwaukee Bucks have LA Clippers head coach Ty Lue on their radar as they begin their head coaching search. It was reported by Eric Nehm of The Athletic that the Bucks are considering currently employed NBA head coaches for their head coaching vacancy, and Fischer has now added to that report, saying Clippers head coach Ty Lue is amongst those on their radar

While some have been skeptical about Lue's future in Los Angeles, all signs point to him returning to coach the Clippers next season. Lue told the media in Phoenix following LA's elimination in Game 5 that he expects to be back next season, and Clippers president Lawrence Frank confirmed during his final press conference of the season that Lue will indeed be back.

All of that said, things can change, and the Bucks are reportedly eyeing Lue as a potential candidate for their current head coaching vacancy. Having fired Mike Budenholzer following a disappointing first round exit, Milwaukee is in the market for a new head coach, and is keeping their options open.

The Bucks are a unique situation for whoever gets their head coaching job, because they have one of the best players and rosters in the entire NBA. This is relatively unusual, and should make the job highly sought after.
