#9 Luke Walton - $5 million
The Lakers' head coaching role has been one of the most coveted ones in all of basketball for a long time now. Filling in the shoes currently is Luke Walton, who was appointed at the end of the 2015-16 season to turn the losing culture of the franchise around. Walton first made his name as an assistant for the Warriors at the start of the 2015-16 season, when they went on a 24-0 run without Steve Kerr (who was receiving treatment for back troubles).
Since his appointment, Walton has proved to be a hands-on coach, but also one who allows his players free reign. The one thing holding the Lakers back from true title contention is the lack of shooting on their roster, but Walton's scheming allows them to obtain a fairly good number of open 3-point shots. It remains to be seen how long a run he gets with a LeBron-led team.
