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.
根据熟悉情况的消息人士透露，火箭队正在努力说服前灰熊队教练Lionel Hollins入主
球队，他们想让Hollins担任Kevin McHale教练团的助理教练。
消息人士也表示，火箭队方面意识到想要获得Hollins是比较困难的，因为后者还在寻求
下一个担任NBA总教练的机会。
2012-13赛季，Hollins带领灰熊队拿到了56场胜利，但是赛季结束后，灰熊队并没有给
Hollins提供一份新的合约。在此之前，Hollins已经和湖人队和骑士队见过面，这两支
球队都在寻找新教练。
