Theus, Shaw will talk again with Kings
Once again, the scribbled-on, tattered piece of paper known as the Kings' coaching list is being amended.
According to numerous sources, New Mexico State coach and former Kings player Reggie Theus and Lakers assistant Brian Shaw are expected to receive second interviews. And with San Antonio in position to sweep Cleveland in the NBA Finals tonight, it also appears Spurs assistant P.J. Carlesimo will be interviewed.
Shaw's interview will be Friday in Las Vegas. It is not yet known when Theus' will take place, though he did confirm he has been contacted about a follow-up. The sources did not want to speak on the record because of the ongoing hiring process.
Until now, Theus and Shaw appeared to be crossed off the list, as only Lakers assistant Kurt Rambis, new Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy and Kings assistant Scott Brooks were called for follow-ups. Carlesimo, a former head coach at Portland and Golden State, is in play for the Kings and Seattle openings. The Sonics recently hired former Spurs vice president Sam Presti as general manager, and it has been speculated he will hire Carlesimo.
On the draft front, the Kings -- who pick No. 10 on June 28 -- worked out UNLV guard Kevin Kruger on Tuesday and observed Chinese big man Yi Jianlian in Los Angeles on Wednesday. They are expected to host former LSU forward Glen "Big Baby" Davis
today in Sacramento, followed by a workout with Florida forward Joakim Noah
and Washington center Spencer Hawes on Friday.
