Former Orlando Magic assistant coach Steve Clifford has agreed to join Los Angeles Lakers head coach Mike Brown on his coaching staff, CSNNW.com has learned.

The terms of the agreement are expected to be finalized by the end of the week.

Clifford was in talks with the Portland Trail Blazers in recent days for their assistant opening as well. However, the chance to be a part of the Lakers organization was too much to pass up, CSNNW.com was told from a source close to the situation.
