The Lakers are now in the process of searching for a head coach in the wake of having fired Byron Scott on Sunday night.
Here are five intriguing names the Lakers may be interested in talking to over the next few days, weeks and months about their opening.
LUKE WALTON
Walton is the most sexy name out there because he was so popular when he played for the Lakers, winning two NBA championships in 2009-10.
He helped himself immensely as one of the league’s bright coaches when he took over as interim coach when Golden State's Steve Kerr was out recovering from back issues.
