First former assistant coach Ron Adams (left) headed to Chicago. Now Maurice Cheeks could be on the move.
ESPN.com is reporting that Thunder assistant coach Maurice Cheeks is a candidate for Toronto’s coaching vacancy.
The report, citing unnamed sources, says Cheeks joins Lawrence Frank and Dwane Casey on the Raptors’ short list.
The Raptors are not expected to make a decision on their coach until GM Bryan Colangelo returns from a scouting trip in Europe. They are also expected to wait until they can interview Mavericks assistant coach Casey, after the NBA Finals.”
This is the second straight summer that Cheeks has been linked to another opening. Last summer, Cheeks was widely reported to be a candidate to join Tom Thibodeau’s staff in Chicago. ESPN.com’s Ric Bucher also tweeted Thursday night that Cheeks may draw interest from Detroit.
