Lakers get permission to talk with Warriors' Adams

The Los Angeles Lakers have received permission from Golden State to talk to assistant Ron Adams about a role on Frank Vogel's staff, league sources tell ESPN.

It is unclear Adams' level of interest in the Lakers' position but the Lakers could make the case more compelling with a significant financial offer.

The Lakers want to put together an experienced coaching staff that already includes assistant coaches and former head coaches Lionel Hollins and Jason Kidd.

Adams, considered to be one of the top assistants in the NBA, just finished his fifth season as an assistant on Steve Kerr's staff and 25th season overall as an NBA assistant coach.
