CARSON, Calif. -- Peter Vagenas replaced Bruce Arena as the LA Galaxys general manager on Monday.Galaxy President Chris Klein promoted Vagenas, the captain of the Galaxys 2005 MLS championship team. Vagenas will be involved in the search for a coach to replace Arena, who was the Galaxys coach and GM while leading the club to three MLS Cup titles.Arena returned to the U.S. national team last week.Pete has been part of this club since its early years and embodies everything the Galaxy stands for, said Klein, Vagenas teammate with the Galaxy for two seasons.Vagenas also will remain the Galaxys vice president of soccer operations, his job since January. The Los Angeles-area native and UCLA graduate became the director of the LA Galaxy Academy in 2013 after playing nine of his 13 MLS seasons with the Galaxy, winning two MLS Cups.Not only does he have a deep affection for the LA Galaxy and knows what were about, but he also knows what weve been building, Klein said. Im confident in the value that he brings to the club in understanding us, and also understanding the league rules and how we can best build a team that can be successful.Klein and Vagenas will be in charge of charting the future for the Galaxy, who face major changes after the departures of Arena, Robbie Keane and Steven Gerrard over the past month.Klein intends to have a coach in place before 2017, but the Galaxy also are plotting personnel moves to bolster their roster after finishing sixth in the MLS table and losing in the Western Conference semifinals.Klein confirmed LA Galaxy II coach Curt Onalfo is the only internal candidate for the job, but the club plans to interview at least one international coach. Former Galaxy coach Sigi Schmid, another UCLA product, also could be a candidate, Klein said.A coach has to have a belief not only in our club, but in our league, Klein said. There are a number of bright soccer minds around the world that could easily translate what they do to our league, but they have to believe in it.The Galaxy are known for their high-profile signings of international stars, from David Beckham and Keane to Gerrard and Giovani Dos Santos. Yet theyve also invested in player development while producing a series of homegrown contributors in recent years, including Gyasi Zardes and defender Daniel Steres.Klein plans to continue that two-pronged approach to success after the departures of Keane and Gerrard, but the Galaxy still have the core of an MLS contender built around Dos Santos, Zardes, Sebastian Lletget and a strong back line led by Jelle Van Damme. Landon Donovan also might extend his comeback for another season.While praising their returning players, Klein indicated the Galaxy will attempt to be active in the international transfer market this winter with two designated player slots open.We have the resources, the backing from (owner) AEG, to continue aggressively in this manner, Klein said.

LOS ANGELES -- After months of optimism on both sides, Carmelo Anthony now says hes skeptical that the NBA Players Association and owners will be able reach a new collective bargaining agreement before Thursdays deadline.Im skeptical of something getting done, Anthony, vice president of the NBPA, told ESPN after the New York Knicks practiced Saturday in Los Angeles. Do I think something could happen by the 15th? Yeah, I think something could happen. But I think this kind of put a dent in conversations. We had something so close. We were supposed to have a deal done weeks ago, and for this to happen at the 25th hour is tough.According to ESPN.coms Marc Stein, sources on both ?sides of the negotiating table nonetheless expressed optimism Saturday night -- despite the late snag and Anthonys pessimistic forecast -- that a new labor deal remains within sight.Sources told Stein that control over licensing matters and the use of player likenesses has emerged as a significant issue in the latter stages of the labor talks.Clippers guard Chris Paul, president of the players association, said he hadnt been aware of Anthonys comments but said, Im not doubting that happened.But we are working tirelessly when were not in the game. Were trying to make sure we can reach an agreement and get a deal done, Paul said after the Clippers 133-105 win over the Pelicans.?When asked if he was optimistic, Paul replied:?Very. Youve got to be. Why not?That is a sentiment shared by another mmarquee player.dddddddddddd.We got to stay optimistic, LeBron James said after the Cavaliers 116-105 win over the Charlotte Hornets. But obviously, Melo is saying he has some concerns with it. We still got a few days, we still got a few days. Obviously, our game right now is the best its ever been, from where it is right here domestically to all the way around the world, so hopefully both sides come to an agreement.The NFL Players Association, for example, has control over licensing and the use of player likenesses. In the NBA, licensing control is maintained by the league in exchange for an annual flat fee in the millions, but the NBPA has been known to covet an arrangement more in line with the NFLs.?Thursday is the deadline for either side to opt out of the current collective bargaining agreement. The league and union would actually have until June 30, 2017, when the current CBA expires, to hash out a new deal in the event either side opts out.But the sides, as Anthony noted, have been close to a deal for some time, with one source telling ESPN.coms Dave McMenamin that representatives for both parties have been meeting multiple times daily the past week.Anthony declined to go into the specifics of the late snag in CBA talks, but he reiterated that as players, we want to get a deal done.ESPNs Jovan Buha contributed to this report.?
