Jason Kidd has agreed to a deal to become a prominent assistant coach on Vogel’s staff, league sources said. The Lakers are enthusiastic about the prospects of Kidd working with point guard Lonzo Ball on a full-time basis, and Kidd does have a strong relationship and history with LeBron James.

Vogel’s emerging candidacy speaks to the significant influence of Lakers advisor Kurt Rambis and former coach Phil Jackson, whose opinions weigh heavily with owner Jeanie Buss. Jackson and Rambis had strongly considered Vogel’s candidacy in New York before hiring Jeff Hornacek in 2016. Rambis was deeply involved in the interview and evaluation process of the coaching candidates since Luke Walton and the franchise parted ways last month.

Adrian Wojnarowski: Under Vogel, the Lakers are unlikely to distinguish between a top assistant and the rest of the coaches. One Lakers source described it as “the Phil Jackson model” of assembling a staff. The influence of Jackson and Kurt Rambis weighs heavily in the Vogel hiring.
