The Los Angeles Clippers have “strong interest” in adding Jeff Van Gunde to their coaching staff under Tyronn Lue next season.
The Clippers reportedly also have a “strong chance” of successfully hiring him. The Clippers have an opening on Lue’s staff following the departure of Dan Craig to the Chicago Bulls.
Van Gundy has worked as a consultant for the Boston Celtics this season after he was laid off by ESPN. Van Gundy has been a constance presence alongside Brad Stevens during the Finals. The Dallas Mavericks attempted to hire Van Gundy last offseason under Jason Kidd.
Van Gundy last had a bench role in 06-07 as head coach of the Houston Rockets.
