The Sixers, according to a source, have contacted the Pacers' associate head coach Brian Shaw about their vacant head-coaching position. Because the Pacers are in the playoffs, Shaw will interview for the position when the time is appropriate. CSNPhilly.com

Shaw is ready to coach his own team, but according to a source, he is cautious, looking for the right job. Yes, he has previously interviewed for nine head-coaching positions, but year after year, teams go through thorough searches looking for their “right” guy when, too often, they have a candidate in mind but do the extensive search so as not to appear hasty. (Cleveland was the exception this spring when they targeted Brown and re-signed him in short order.) CSNPhilly.com

If the Atlanta Hawks part ways with coach Larry Drew when the Hawks are bumped from the NBA playoffs, Drew would be interested in coaching the 76ers, a source with knowledge of the situation said on Saturday. Philadelphia Inquirer

Drew is in the final year of his contract. The Hawks hired Danny Ferry as the general manager last summer, and there has been speculation ever since that Ferry would look to hire his own coach. There have been no discussions between Ferry and Drew concerning an extension, according to the source. Philadelphia Inquirer

"Larry loves coaching, and he wants to continue as a head coach," said the league source. "He's in a difficult situation, and it's hard to say what will happen in Atlanta." Philadelphia Inquirer

A coaching search remains in Philadelphia after Doug Collins stepped down, and the 76ers are seeking a young dynamic replacement who could help upgrade a flawed roster. While Brian Shaw's name has been mentioned, someone to watch is former assistant, and former 76er, Aaron McKie, who is familiar With the roster and is a Philadelphia native. Boston Globe

However, Harris, who briefly addressed this subject Saturday at an announcement that the Sixers were acquiring a new NBA D-League franchise (the Delaware 87ers), sounds wedded to his original position. "Obviously the sooner the better in terms that there are other teams that want coaches," Harris said. "Having said that it's a really important position, so the answer is it's not possible to put a time frame on it. "Clearly we are sequencing it quickly. We're not waiting around, but there is a lot of work to be done. It's just hard to put a time frame on it. Faster is better but only if you find the right person." Philadelphia Inquirer

The Philadelphia 76ers announced today that they have completed the purchase of the operating rights for a team to compete in the 17-team National Basketball Association Development League. The NBA D-League is the NBA’s only minor league. The acquired operating rights were previously held by the Utah Flash, a team that went on hiatus two seasons ago. The Philadelphia 76ers’ new NBA D-League franchise will relocate to Delaware and commence play this coming autumn for the 2013-14 NBA D-League season, which runs from November through April. The team will be known as the Delaware 87ers, and will be nicknamed the “Sevens.” It will play its games on the campus of the University of Delaware at The Bob Carpenter Center in Newark, Del.

Majority owner Josh Harris made it a point to say that he and general manger Tony DiLeo would be the driving forces behind the team’s search for Doug Collins' replacement. However, DiLeo’s contract expires in less than two months, most likely long after Collins’ replacement has been named. This is interesting because if DiLeo does not receive and extension from the team, the new general manager could come into a situation where the coach is not his guy. This is never a good place to start. The general manager should always have some say in the naming of the coach. The coach is supposed to be his guy, especially if he is naming his first coach.

After three years under Doug Collins, who seemingly has reached the end of his head coaching career, it appears the Sixers are now looking for someone ready to begin one. According to sources, Golden State Warriors assistant coach Mike Malone is high on the Sixers' list to replace Collins as head coach, as is Indiana Pacers associate head coach Brian Shaw.

The Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavs and Philadelphia 76ers are looking for coaches -- three more possibilities for former Magic coach Stan Van Gundy. I'm told that Van Gundy has no interest in those openings at this time. More jobs could open after the playoffs end, however. Orlando Sentinel

So far, the 76er hasn't had the impact expected as the second overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft. Despite that, Turner said that he'll be a Sixer next season even though his name has come up before in trade rumors. "Not to be arrogant or cocky, but my name comes up, I believe, because of trade value in that situation," Turner said. "Regardless of whether I get heat for certain situations or certain bad nights and stuff, I still think I'm a valuable player in this league." Philadelphia Inquirer

"I think that he likes it in Philadelphia," said the source, who works in the front office for a Southeast Division team. "He's a great defensive mind. I wouldn't be surprised if Philadelphia wanted to keep him in-house. The young guys know him, and I think they respect his voice." Philadelphia Inquirer

Harris, the Sixers’ managing owner, said Thursday that the team is “going to look to bring Andrew back” next season despite Bynum not playing in 2012-13 — while earning $16.5 million — due to bone bruises on both knees. “A healthy Bynum is a needle mover, a top 15 player,” said Harris one day after the end of a disappointing 34-48 season. “We’re going to weigh the positives and the negatives and try to make a reasoned assessment about what’s appropriate for Andrew. Certainly, we’re open to the prospect of bringing him back.” Pressed on the matter, Harris responded, “I’m not saying we’re going to bring him back. I’m saying we haven’t ruled it out. Bringing Andrew back is an important risk that we’re not ignoring.” phillyburbs.com

Former Washington standout Spencer Hawes happened to show up at the St. Regis Hotel in New York where NBA owners are meeting to discuss the possible sale of the Sacramento Kings to an investment group that wants to relocate the team to Seattle. You might think Hawes would have divided loyalties. He grew up in Seattle and was drafted by Sacramento in 2007, playing three seasons with the Kings. However, Hawes is a diehard Sonics fan.
