The Houston Rockets and Stephen Silas are finalizing a deal for him to be the team's next head coach, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Wojnarowski said the Rockets "were sold on Silas' offensive ingenuity, his pedigree with Rick Carlisle, Steve Clifford and his father, Paul Silas."
If the deal goes through, the Dallas Mavericks assistant coach will replace Mike D’Antoni, who stepped down in September after four seasons as the Rockets head coach.
Silas has coached multiple talented guards during his career, including Luka Doncic, Kemba Walker and Steph Curry. The move to Houston will give him a shot at working with James Harden and Russell Westbrook.
