Brown, who was famously fired last year after he failed to lead LeBron James and the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals yet again, and the Lakers have agreed in principle to a four-year, $18.25 million deal that will see the ring-less Brown replace the 13-time NBA Champion Zen Master.
Lakers execs did not consult Lakers star Kobe Bryant during their search for a new coach, but Bryant is reportedly on board with the hiring of Brown, for whom he has a lot of respect.
