Lakers interested in Metta World Peace as assistant coach
The odds are against Metta World Peace making the Los Angeles Lakers' Opening Night roster, but the Lakers have interest in keeping the veteran forward around as an assistant coach if they can't make room for him as an active player, according to league sources.

Sources told ESPN.com that World Peace's impact as a mentor to young players last season was a big reason they invited him to training camp again under new coach Luke Walton.
