The Lakers have finally moved on to the second phase of their coaching search, as they have reportedly narrowed down their choice to three final candidates: Milwaukee Bucks assistant coach Darvin Ham (who has reportedly made the strongest impression), Golden State Warriors assistant coach Kenny Atkinson and former Portland Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts will fly out to Los Angeles to meet the Lakers committee in the next coming days.
These three coaches will meet an exclusive committee spearheaded by Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka alongside fellow front office staffers Kurt Rambis, Joey Buss and Jesse Buss.
