Lionel Hollins - C - Grizzlies

The Clippers coaching race is down to Lionel Hollins and Brian Shaw, according to USA Today's Sam Amick.

Of course, this is if Doc Rivers remains unavailable to Los Angeles. If Rivers remains in Boston or takes the year off from coaching, the Clippers will look to hire either Shaw or Hollins, which is what we've known for a little while at this point.

Lionel Hollins had to reschedule his meeting with the Nuggets due to flight issues.

He's already had a great meeting with the Clippers, but with the way the Clippers are looking to get in on Doc Rivers, Hollins is wise to take meetings elsewhere. It's hard to believe that a hot commodity like Hollins still doesn't have a job due to the shocking Rivers and Jason Kidd news this week. Hollins will meet with the Nuggets on Wednesday.

Lionel Hollins - C - Grizzlies

Lionel Hollins had such a great meeting with the Clippers that he may have moved ahead of Brian Shaw.

Hollins and Shaw are arguably the two most attractive candidates on the market and both will likely be the head coach of two teams in the coming weeks. Hollins knocked the Clippers out in the playoffs this year, so it's not much of a surprise that he's their top candidate at this point. The Clippers should make their hire soon.

Lionel Hollins - C - Grizzlies

Lionel Hollins is meeting with the Clippers for a second round of interviews Friday.

After wrapping up his discussions with the Clips, Hollins will meet with the Nuggets on Saturday. He shouldn't count on the L.A. job because there's reportedly "mutual interest" between the Clippers and Doc Rivers. Doc has to find a way out of his Celtics' contract to make it work.

The Nuggets will interview Lionel Hollins on Saturday, a source told ESPN's Chris Broussard.

This makes sense since Hollins spent Thursday with the Clippers and his interview may have spilled over into Friday. At this point, both the Clippers and Nuggets are the hottest suitors for Hollins, but it's still possible he'll lose out on both jobs.

Chris Wallace - C - Grizzlies

The Kings have met with Grizzlies GM Chris Wallace three times to discuss their vacant GM position.

Wallace was reported as the frontrunner previously, and that still seems to be the case. With his role diminished in Memphis, it wouldn't be surprising to see Wallace ultimately tabbed as the Kings choice. Spurs assistant GM Scott Layden as well as former NBA GM Rick Sund are also in the mix.

Mike Conley - G - Grizzlies

The Grizzlies interviewed Bulls assistant Ed Pinckney on Thursday.

The Grizzlies are still expected to bring on their top assistant Dave Joerger and Alvin Gentry is also in the mix. Although, the only thing that's clear is that Lionel Hollins won't be back with the team.

Chris Wallace - C - Grizzlies

The Grizzlies have received permission to interview Nets director of basketball operations Milton Lee, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA Today's Sam Amick.

Lee is the head of Brooklyn's analytics department and could replace current GM Chris Wallace in some form. Wallace has been linked as a candidate for the Kings' GM gig and appears on his way out of Memphis after his role was drastically reduced following an ownership change earlier the year. The front-office shuffle included the hiring of former ESPN analyst John Hollinger, who has been heavily involved in the NBA's burgeoning analytics movement.

Marc Gasol - C - Grizzlies

The Grizzlies are monitoring Doc Rivers' situation in Boston, but assistant coach Dave Joerger is widely considered the front runner for Memphis' head coaching vacancy, according to a report in USA Today.

Rivers is reportedly wary of returning to the Celtics if the team is going to rebuild the roster and might be open to a "new situation," according to CBS Sports' Ken Berger. USA Today reported Wednesday that Memphis would have serious interest in Rivers if he were to hit the market, but as of today, Joerger remains atop their coaching wish list. The Grizzlies are also considering former Nuggets coach George Karl and Bulls assistant Ed Pinckney.

Lionel Hollins - C - Grizzlies

Updating a previous item, the Clippers will interview Lionel Hollins on Thursday.

Lionel Hollins was supposed to meet with the team Wednesday, but the meeting was scrubbed. It's unclear what caused the change in schedule. The Clippers already interviewed Brian Shaw and Byron Scott and Hollins was supposed to complete the trifecta, although he'd already met with the Clippers twice, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.

Lionel Hollins - C - Grizzlies

Lionel Hollins is still in the mix for the Clippers head coaching job, sources told ESPN's Marc Stein.

Hollins is "firmly" in the mix, according to Stein. The Clippers sat down with Brian Shaw and Byron Scott already, and they're expected to interview Hollins on Wednesday. According to Stein, it will be Hollins' third time sitting down with the team. Donald Sterling is reportedly a "Hollins fan," so that could weigh strongly in the race.

Lionel Hollins - C - Grizzlies

Lionel Hollins will not have his contract renewed as head coach for the Grizzlies.

Assistant Dave Joerger is rumored to be the leading candidate to replace Hollins, though the team has released a statement committing to a "thorough" search. Hollins will have no problem finding another head coaching job after leading the Grizzlies to three playoff appearances and the conference finals this time around.

Chris Wallace - C - Grizzlies

Chris Wallace and Mike Dunleavy are the "leading candidates" to run the Kings front office, according to the New York Daily News.

Take it with a large grain of salt. Both guys have been mentioned as candidates with Wallace having been reported as a frontrunner previously, but it's too early to make any call with the interview process still rolling on. We'd be shocked if Dunleavy wound up in the front office under Sacramento's new ownership.

Lionel Hollins - C - Grizzlies

Lionel Hollins could return to the Grizzlies as head coach, according to USA Today.

Straight from Sam Amick's report: "Hollins had discussions with Grizzlies management on Thursday in Memphis and a final decision about whether they want him back has not been made. Hollins had made it clear he wants to return, but the Grizzlies front-office team that was put in place this season after an ownership change continues to assess whether the fit is right." It doesn't sound like Hollins will be back, but the door remains slightly ajar.

Lionel Hollins will visit the Clippers next week, sources told the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Hollins spoke with the Clippers at length on Thursday, and now he's scheduled to visit the team next week. Although Brian Shaw and George Karl are considered the favorites, Hollins remains squarely in the picture as well.
