Team Note: Lu has a solid relationship with the Clippers management. He is one of the plans, not one of the problems.

May 4th, in the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Clippers lost to the Nuggets in a tiebreak and were eliminated. TA Clippers reporter Law Murray published an article reporting on the current situation of the Clippers.

It is reported that Lu's team has a solid relationship with the Clippers' management. Whether it is boss Ballmer, president Lawrence Frank, general manager Trent Rayden, senior vice president Mark Hughes, they all maintain a good relationship with Lu. Lu also chose Jeff Van Gundy as the team's de facto defensive coordinator mid-season. He has won the respect of the team stars, and the Clippers are optimistic about stable teams that do not change coaches frequently. Despite his poor playoff record, Lu was seen as part of the team's plan, not part of the problem.
