The deal hasn’t been finalized just yet. But from all indications, former Cavaliers coach Mike Brown is set to replace Phil Jackson as coach of the Lakers.
Of all the names tossed out for that job, Brown’s came seemingly from out of nowhere.
The Lakers have put together a deal to hire former Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown as their new coach, an NBA official who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter said late Tuesday.
If Brown agrees to the deal, he’ll sign a contract worth between $4 million and $4.5 million per season, the official said. Brown would sign for three years, with a team option on the fourth season that would give him partial pay if he was not retained.
