Jason Kidd has agreed to become an assistant coach on the staff of Frank Vogel with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Rob Pelinka has worked over the past few days gathering information on how Vogel and Kidd could complement each other on the Lakers' staff.

The Lakers are unlikely to distinguish between a top assistant and the rest of the coaches. One Lakers source described it as "the Phil Jackson model" of assembling a staff.

According to Ramona Shelburne, Kidd mentored Lonzo Ball last year. Kidd also maintains a strong relationship with LeBron James.
