Nice grab by Boston. Cassell is a good coach, and honestly deserves a head coaching role at some point. I'd imagine of Mazzulla ends up getting fired in the coming season that Cassell would get an opportunity.

The Celtics reportedly made a significant addition to coach Joe Mazzulla’s staff on Sunday, less than one week after the team’s Game 7 loss in the Eastern Conference finals.
Boston is set to add veteran assistant coach Sam Cassell alongside Mazzulla ahead of his second season, according The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Cassell, 53, has spent the last three seasons as an assistant with the 76ers under recently-fired coach Doc Rivers.
