Finding a lockout job can be tough. Most players are looking overseas to play somewhere professionally. Delonte West might work at Sam's Club. Kevin Durant might star in a movie.

So it really shouldn't be all too shocking that Luke Walton is going to join the Memphis Tigers' coaching staff if NBA games are lost. From an official release:

Luke Walton, a member of the 2009 and 2010 NBA World Champion Los Angeles Lakers, has been recommended to join the Memphis men's basketball coaching staff, head coach Josh Pastner announced Monday. Walton's hiring is pending approval of the University and Tennessee State Board of Regents.
