Person actually just met with the Houston Rockets on Monday about becoming one of Kevin McHale’s assistant coaches, but Person is expected to stay with the Lakers and work with Brown, with whom he has a relationship from their days overlapping as Indiana Pacers employees while Rick Carlisle was the head coach. Brown and Person have already talked strategy about what the Lakers can and can’t do in moving forward with Brown’s new schemes, and Person figures to play a large role as a holdover who knows the personnel better.

The Lakers are also considering Shaw and Person, and both candidates are slated to discuss the position with team officials this week. But sources say Adelman appears to be the most serious among the outside candidates. The former Portland, Golden State, Sacramento and Houston coach who ranks eighth all-time in wins (945 -616 overall) has made his interest known to the Lakers and the sentiment has been shared. In addition to Adelman's track record, much of the appeal tied to him is his "corner" offense that has similarities to the vaunted "triangle" offense run by Jackson. SI.com

The source said Person will be a candidate in Indiana as well, depending on the uncertain future of interim Pacers coach Frank Vogel. Shaw is reportedly a candidate in Golden State and Houston, too.
