The New Orleans Pelicans are negotiating with Suns assistant Willie Green about taking over as head coach, but no deal is in place and discussions could extend beyond the NBA Finals, a person familiar with the situation said. "He has not agreed to a deal," the person said to The Associated Press Wednesday on condition of anonymity because talks were ongoing. Green was a member of two NBA title-winning staffs with the Warriors in 2017 and 2018. "I couldn’t imagine going through this season without having Willie here," Paul, now starring for Phoenix, said recently. The Cavaliers, with LeBron James and Kyrie Irving leading the club on the court, won the NBA championship that season.
