The Lakers coaching search is over as yesterday they introduced former Laker Byron Scott as their new head coach. 

The Lakers are the last team in the NBA to fill their coach vacancy by 25 days. There didn't seem to be any other candidates left, they interviewed Scott at least three times. Why did it take as long as it did?

Scott is going on a little family vacation before he gets started but now that he's place, can he turn the Lakers around or maybe point them in the right direction?

The other big L.A. basketball news came down off the court but, in a courtroom. A judge ruled that Shelly Sterling has the authority to sell the Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for $2 billion. It appears this could be the end for Donald Sterling, who are the winners and losers here?

After three decades under Donald Sterling's ownership, the Clippers will move into a new era. Should Steve Ballmer change the name of the team to maybe really establish a new image for the franchise?

Tomorrow is the MLB trade deadline and looking at the Dodgers and Angels, it would on the surface appear that both teams are in great shape. The Dodgers have the best record in the National League, they're in 1st place in their division with a 3 game lead over the rival Giants.

The Angels have the second best record in all of baseball and the only reason they're not in first place is because the Oakland A's have the best record overall. Brian, lets start with the Boys in Blue, what if anything do they need?

The Angels, Andy, to me are in a trickier spot because they probably will have to secure a wild card because the A's are sooo good. What do you think they need to do?

The NFL suspended Ravens running back Ray Rice for two games after a video surfaced of Rice dragging his unconscious fiancee out of an elevator after he knocked her out. They have since gotten married and it looks like Rice will avoid a felony assault charge jail by agreeing to counseling.

The NFL has defended their punishment despite suspending other players longer for things such as marijuana or steroid use. The backlash has been loud but the league has really drawn a line in the sand.

Finally, Dodgers icon, broadcaster Vin Scully plans to be back next season for what would be 66 years in the booth.
