The Philadelphia 76ers coaching staff is getting poached once again. This time it’s by a dreaded division rival — the Boston Celtics.
Shams Charania reported that the Celtics will be getting Sixers former assistant coach Sam Cassell to help Joe Mazzulla on their sidelines for next season.
Adio and David talk about the implications of that news. Is it a big loss, or not so much? Why hasn’t Cassell been given a shot at a head coaching job yet? Could he fill in for Mazzulla if there’s an in-season firing? Will Cassell’s once stated reluctance to lean on analytics clash with Celts’ numbers loving GM Brad Stevens?
