There have been strong signals in recent days that Cheeks has already won the endorsement of Pistons president Joe Dumars, but the involvement of Phil Jackson in the Pistons' search as an adviser to Gores has led some to speculate that Detroit must still be waiting for Indiana's season to end to talk to Pacers associate head coach and longtime Jackson protege Brian Shaw.

He especially likes the way he’d fit with the Pistons, Muhammad said. “Great fit,” he said. “I love Andre. That’s my guy. And Greg (Monroe) and Brandon Knight also, who is a really good point guard. I see myself really fitting well with them. I like the young teams that have bits and pieces and I think I could really learn a lot and come out off the get-go and try to help them out right away.” NBA.com

While NBA teams seem to be filling coaching vacancies quickly this week, before the Finals begin, the Pistons are still without a replacement for Lawrence Frank, who was fired in short order after the regular season. The sentiment around the NBA seems to be they will likely choose between former Portland Trailblazers and Seattle Sonics coach Nate McMillan, and Oklahoma City Thunder assistant Maurice Cheeks, who also coached the Philadelphia 76ers and Portland Trailblazers. Former Atlanta Hawks coach Larry Drew wouldn't mind an interview with the Pistons, and there had been mutual interest, sources familiar with the situation told The Detroit News. Detroit News
