Lakers to Hire Coach in the Coming Weeks?

The Los Angeles Lakers expect to hire a coach in the next “week or two,” according to a league source, but do not consider the interview process to be finished.

While former Lakers great Byron Scott has been considered the leading candidate for the position for weeks, having gone through multiple interviews with management and having received an endorsement from none other than Kobe Bryant last week, even he likely would need another interview before being named coach, according to the source.
