According to ESPN, the deal is for 4 years and $17 million dollars. Scott had this to say to KCBS-TV on Saturday night.
“It feels fantastic,” he told KCBS-TV. “This is a dream come true. I always wanted to coach the Lakers, especially when I got to coaching. It’s so unreal. I have to thank [general manager] Mitch [Kupchak], Jeanie and Jim Buss to give me this opportunity.”
