Who should it be? The pecking order seems to be:

Brian Shaw
Rick Adelman
Jeff Van Gundy
Mike Dunleavy

Personally, I think Adelman will happen. I think the Lakers are done with the triangle, and he had enough success in Sac town to impress the Lakers.

If the Lakers want to keep the triangle, it'll be Shaw. The primary decision maker will be Jim Buss. also, another reason why Bynum might be sticking around. Jimmy loves Bynum.

I think it'll be Shaw as a test run for a year. If he blows it, they'll go for a bigger name.

I don't blame him for liking Bynum. He's a pretty darn good player (when healthy) for a 23-year-old.

A Lakers source also said that management and ownership are split on Shaw. The Buss family, who owns the Lakers, has a reputation of keeping their coaching searches close to the vest.

Heard on the radio this morning that LA has given permission for Golden State to interview Shaw and another Laker assistant (Sorry can't remember the other's name) for their HC position.

I think they'll hire Don Nelson so they won't have to worry about losing a playoff series to the Mavs again.

[Mike]Dunleavy was contacted by the team this week and is said to be on the team's most-current "short list" to succeed Jackson, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Dunleavy? How that guy continues to be an option for any NBA team is beyond me!

But a league source also told ESPN's Ric Bucher that Bryant would support the hiring of Adelman if the team decided to go in that direction.

This one made me laugh out loud. Given the amount of little tiffs Kobe already gets into with his teammates, I can't imagine how bad it would be if he was coach as well.

As a Laker fan I'd like to see them go after Adelman. I think he can manage the personalities well like Phil and also do away with the triangle! Let's get a PG and go!

Shaw would be nice too for continuity but as I mentioned - Triangle 10 years ago is NOT the same triangle today!

per Shaun Powell of NBA.com, Shaw is out. Has to be Adelman now.

I'm guessing Kobe would listen to him for about 2 minutes in the first practice and then take over.

This Mike Brown BS is all fake anonymous sources right? Like when Avery Johnson was a finalist for every opening for 2 years? No way they choose him over Adleman or Shaw
