          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 they could make the case more compelling with a significant financial offer.

          The Lakers want to put together an experienced coaching staff, and the current group already includes former head coaches Lionel Hollins and Jason Kidd as assistants.

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