The Los Angeles Lakers are once again in the market for a head coach. A franchise known for its stability and continued excellence has suffered through an absence of both over the past four years. Mike Brown, Mike D'Antoni and now Byron Scott, all gone in less than two full years. The decision for the Lakers to not retain Scott as coach is hard to argue with after the two worst seasons in franchise history and the clashes with the younger core going forward. What they do next is a much trickier question. The Lakers are getting into the coach-getting business a bit late, with Tom Thibodeau and Scott Brooks both off the market. So where do they go from here? Here's a look at the most commonly rumored candidates. 1. Luke Walton, Warriors assistant coach: Walton checks all the boxes. Former Lakers player, so he's part of the "family" that they value so much. Comes in with credit as the assistant of the Warriors, so he's got a coaching title. Coached the team during their historic 24-game winning streak. Former player, so he can relate to them, younger so he can better get along with the kids on the Lakers roster while bringing youth and enthusiasm. Oh, and he's a disciple of Phil Jackson, who is rumored to possibly return to the team in a year. Walton is a no brainer, if they can convince him to take the leap. - See more at: http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on...who-would-make-sense-as-the-lakers-next-coach
