Veteran assistant Adams to stay with Warriors

Ron Adams will stay on as an assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors after discussing a similar opening with the Los Angeles Lakers, ESPN reported Thursday. ESPN reported the Warriors gave the Lakers permission to speak with Adams, but no official offer was made.

Adams has spent the past five years as one of the top assistants to Warriors coach Steve Kerr. He has served as an assistant in the league for the past quarter-century. The decision leaves Lakers coach Frank Vogel searching for one more assistant to join his staff, which already includes Jason Kidd and Lionel Hollins.
