While he is on the verge of winning another title with the Celtics, this time as an assistant, Sam Cassell had a few interviews for “vacant” coaching positions. And like every year, his application was not accepted. But according to Mark Stein, he could land a job as a first assistant with the Bucks. With a big salary at stake.
Since mid-May, we have known that Doc Rivers dreams of reuniting with his former assistant for a fourth collaboration together, after their shared stints at the Celtics, the Clippers and the Sixers. But the recent arrival of Darvin Ham in Milwaukee seemed to have put a damper on that idea. Except that Marc Stein explains that Sam Cassell is still expected at the Bucks, and it would be squarely to be ahead of Darvin Ham in the organization chart.
The Boston option should not, however, be neglected since Joe Mazzulla lost his right arm, Charles Lee, and Sam Cassell could become first assistant there.
Unless it's the Lakers where he could be the right arm of a JJ Redick or a James Borrego. A priori, the former leader of the Rockets, very popular with players, will be spoiled for choice this summer.
