Scott had two team options left on his contract, but the Lakers told Scott on Sunday that he won't be returning for a third season as head coach, league sources told The Vertical.
The Lakers move
into the coaching market after two prominent coaches who had interest in
Los Angeles – Tom Thibodeau and Scott Brooks – accepted new jobs in
recent days.
The Lakers did not dismiss Scott
with his successor already in place, league sources said. General
manager Mitch Kupchak and ownership will run a search.
Possible
candidates to replace Scott could include Golden State Warriors
assistant Luke Walton, former Houston Rockets and New York Knicks coach
Jeff Van Gundy, Connecticut coach Kevin Ollie and San Antonio Spurs
assistant Ettore Messina, league sources said.
Scott was 38-126 in two seasons, including a 17-65 record this season. [Yahoo sports]
