Rockets hope to snare Lionel Hollins
By Marc Stein | ESPN.com
The Houston Rockets are making a hard push to convince former Memphis
Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins to join Kevin McHale's staff as an assistant,
according to sources close to the process.
However, sources tell ESPN.com that the Rockets recognize it will be
difficult to land Hollins, who continues to covet his next opportunity as a
head coach after his exit in Memphis following the 2013 playoffs.
The Grizzlies declined to offer Hollins a new contract following a 56-win
season in 2012-13, which saw them advance to the Western Conference finals
before being ousted by the San Antonio Spurs.
Hollins has interviewed with a number of teams this spring that ultimately
hired others, as well as two teams still looking for a head coach: The
Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers.
根據熟悉情況的消息人士透露，火箭隊正在努力說服前灰熊隊教練Lionel Hollins入主
球隊，他們想讓Hollins擔任Kevin McHale教練團的助理教練。
消息人士也表示，火箭隊方面意識到想要獲得Hollins是比較困難的，因為後者還在尋求
下一個擔任NBA總教練的機會。
2012-13賽季，Hollins帶領灰熊隊拿到了56場勝利，但是賽季結束後，灰熊隊並沒有給
Hollins提供一份新的合約。在此之前，Hollins已經和湖人隊和騎士隊見過面，這兩支
球隊都在尋找新教練。
