Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
LOS ANGELES, May 25 (UPI) -- An NBA official said the Los Angeles Lakers are offering a deal to former Cleveland Cavaliers Coach Mike Brown to take over coaching duties for the team.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to not being authorized to speak publicly about the deal, said Brown is being offered a three-year contract worth between $4 million and $4.5 million per season, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.
Brown, who coached LeBron James in Cleveland for five seasons, is the current front-runner to replace Phil Jackson due to Jim Buss, executive vice president of player personnel for the Lakers, being impressed with his style of defense, the official said.
Former Houston Rockets Coach Rick Adelman and Lakers assistant coach Brian Shaw are also candidates for the job.
