The Los Angeles Lakers will reportedly meet with Derek Fisher, Scott Skiles and Larry Brown this week to discuss the possibility of coaching the team next season.

ESPN reported on Monday that the Lakers are interested in discussing their coaching vacancy with Fisher, who is also being strongly considered by New York Knicks president Phil Jackson.

Fisher, who spent this season with Oklahoma City Thunder, has yet to decide whether or not he is interested in making a sudden jump to coaching, similar to what Jason Kidd did last summer when he became the Brooklyn Nets coach shortly after announcing his retirement as a player.

The 39-year-old point guard has strong ties with the Lakers organization. He spent 13 seasons in Los Angeles, winning five NBA titles in the process.

It is unclear at this point, though, how interested the Lakers are in naming Fisher as their next head coach. But if they are really serious in their pursuit of Fisher, the Lakers will have to act quick because the Knicks are expected to be very aggressive in luring him in the next few weeks.

Aside from Fisher, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak is also reportedly planning to sit down with veteran coaches Scott Skiles and Larry Brown.

Skiles is coming off a five-year coaching stint with the Milwaukee Bucks and also coached the Phoenix Suns from 1999-2002 and the Chicago Bulls from 2003-2007.

Brown, on the other hand, has spent the last two seasons in the collegiate ranks with the Southern Methodist University. The 73-year-old veteran coach won an NBA title with the Detroit Pistons in 2004 and a national title with the Kansas Jayhawks in 1988.

Kupchak previously interviewed Mike Dunleavy, Byron Scott, Lionel Hollins, Alvin Gentry, Kurt Rambis and George Karl. The 60-year-old executive told USA Today that they are still probably weeks away from naming a new coach.

"I have to say we're leaning toward the type of the coach we would want, (and) I would say there would be experience involved, certainly on some level, but not necessarily. There's no urgency right now, so it will be a more deliberate process," Kupchak said.
