Add another name to the Los Angeles Lakers head coaching search. The name isn't new to the Lakers. It's Kurt Rambis. The Lakers have already interviewed Byron Scott, Mike Dunleavy, Alvin Gentry, Lionel Hollins and now Kurt Rambis.
Rambis served as an assistant under D'Antoni this season, and before that was the head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves from 2009 to 2011. Those two years in Minnesota were a disaster, as Rambis compiled a record of 32-122.
Rambis played with Lakers from 1981 to 1988 and then again from 1993-1995. In the process he won five championships. He also served as a Lakers assistant coach from 1994 to 1998, from 2001 to 2004 and from 2005 to 2009, and as an interim head coach in the the lockout-shortened 1998-1999 season after Del Harris was fired.
