The Los Angeles Lakers are engaged in serious discussions with Mike Brown about the ex-Cleveland Cavaliers coach becoming the franchise’s next coach, league sources told Yahoo! Sports on Tuesday night.
The Lakers are focused on talks with Brown, who was fired in 2011 after five seasons in Cleveland, where he went 272-138.
Los Angeles had considered longtime assistant Brian Shaw, but the focus is now on Brown. There could be an agreement in place within the next 24-48 hours, sources say, but nothing has been finalized.
The two sides are working out issues that could be dealbreakers and cause the Lakers to go to another candidate, sources said, but there’s clearly momentum toward Brown becoming the next head coach.

Two reasons why i am posting this.
1. We can cross Brown off our list, although, not sure how serious he/we were in him but i have heard his name talked about with us several times.
2. Lets see if my theory is correct, we waited to hire Vogel until Adelman got/didnt get the Lakers job, so we can interview/offer him a job to see what kind of interest he would have.
