The Los Angeles Clippers contacted Byron Scott this week about becoming their next head coach.

Scott has interest in the position, according to a source.

While no offer was made and talks were preliminary, the Clippers are currently putting a list together to take to Donald Sterling.

Chris Paul and Scott have remained close since their seasons together as player and coach with the New Orleans Hornets, and they met for a meal a few weeks after the Clippers' season ended in the first round.
