A former Oklahoma City Thunder assistant coach could reenter the fray under new head coach Billy Donovan, as former Portland/Philadelphia/Detroit head coach Maurice Cheeks has been tabbed as a potential candidate.
Here's Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski with the report:
Yahoo Sources: Another ex-head coach and past Oklahoma City assistant emerging as a possible candidate for Billy Donovan's staff: Mo Cheeks.

Wojnarowski also reported this past weekend that Donovan has also put out feelers to recently-fired New Orleans Pelicans head coach Monty Williams as a potential fit for one of his top two assistant positions.
It's at least possible that Donovan could land both Cheeks and Williams as his top two go-to guys, giving him a solid cache of NBA head coaching experience to help him adjust his philosophies to the pro game.
Stay tuned.
