(SportsRadio 610) - The Rockets are in the market for a new head coach and there are several notable candidates to consider.
Our own Rockets insider Adam Spolane reported Sunday current Raptors head coach Nick Nurse, if he becomes available, Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson, former Lakers head coach Frank Vogel, former Celtics head coach Ime Udoka, and Blazers assistant Scott Brooks are at the top of Houston's list.
Also, don't rule out Sixers assistant Sam Cassell, who was a member of back-to-back championships with the Rockets in the 90s and spent the past two seasons coaching James Harden in Philadelphia. The Rockets are expected to seriously pursue Harden in free agency this summer.
Rockets general manager Rafael Stone on Monday acknowledged the intrigue in previously successful NBA head coaches who could be available, but said he intends to cast a wide net.
On the latest H-Town Hoops podcast, Spolane and co-host Brandon Scott discussed the Rockets' potential replacements for Stephen Silas, who was officially dismissed Monday after a 59-177 record in three seasons as head coach.
