Luke Walton told reporters that he was brought on to Steve Kerr's staff to help implement the triangle offense.
"We are gonna run parts of the triangle offense," said Walton. "And I know that thing front and back so he's counting on me to be able to help out a lot in that area."

Sun Jun 8 201411:06Luke Walton has not had contact with Knicks
Luke Walton has not been in contact with Phil Jackson since Steve Kerr turned down the offer to be the Knicks next head coach.
"[Phil asked me] if I'd be interested in moving out to New York... but I think that was before Steve Kerr got the job in Golden State," said Walton. "I haven't talked to Phil since all of that happened." While Jackson had reached out to Walton and Kurt Rambis, it is believed that he views those guys more as potential assistant coaches according to sources close to the situation.

Mon Oct 21 201312:06Luke Walton not ready to retire from NBA
Luke Walton isn't ready to announce his retirement from the NBA.
"I want to play still," Walton said. "I've trained all summer as if I was going to get a call. The call never came ... If nothing happens this year, then I'll probably admit that it's officially over." Walton had solid 3-point range and admirable versatility in his prime, but injuries have taken a heavy toll throughout his 10-year career. He recently explored a player development job in the D-League and he's dabbled in announcing games for the Lakers.

Sun Apr 7 201321:45Luke Walton (ankle) out again on Sunday
Luke Walton (right ankle sprain) sat out Sunday's game vs. Orlando.
The Cavaliers won despite not having Walton, Daniel Gibson (elbow), Dion Waiters (knee) and of course Anderson Varejao (knee surgery). Injuries notwithstanding, head coach Byron Scott is on the hot seat after the Cavs' late-season swoon, and Kyrie Irving seemed lukewarm when asked this weekend about the Cavs' firing Scott: "Until that time comes, I'm not really worried about it ... To even imagine that, I'm not going down that road."

Sat Mar 23 201311:19Luke Walton trying to deal with wearing mask
Luke Walton is adjusting to playing with a clear mask that protects his broken nose.
Walton said the first time he played with the mask he couldn't see. "I'm good [looking] straight but as soon as I try to go to the side it gets blurry," Walton said. The former Laker will likely have to deal with the mask for most of the rest of the season. He has no fantasy value.

Luke Walton said that his back has been feeling "much better" this season.

Mon Mar 4 201322:39Luke Walton handed out career-high 12 dimes
Luke Walton handed out a career-high 12 assists in Monday's loss to the Knicks, adding two points and one steal in 29 minutes.
He picked up some extra playing time with Dion Waiters (illness) not playing. Obviously, there's no reason to give Walton a look in even the deepest of leagues. C.J. Miles was a mild disappointment with 11 points, two boards, one assist, two steals and two 3-pointers in 22 minutes.
