He writes: "As the Cleveland Cavaliers sift potential coaching candidates, general manager Danny Ferry has made calls checking on Milwaukee Bucks assistant Kelvin Sampson, sources tell Yahoo! Sports.
"For now, the Cavaliers' interest appears to be strictly in the fact-finding phase, but some league personnel believe it's just a matter of time until Sampson becomes a legitimate head coaching candidate in the NBA."
Brian Windhorst of the Cleveland Plain Dealer confirms this report via Twitter: "Sources confirm Yahoo! report about Cavs' interest in Bucks asstistant coach Kelvin Sampson. In fact, I'm told he may be near top of list. Cavs' interest in Kelvin Sampson seems to be mostly if they miss out on bigger names they're after. But those big names are tough to get."
As we noted last week, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reported that the Bulls may also be looking at Sampson, though according to Gery Woelfel of the Journal Times, he's yet to be contacted by the team.
Wojnarowski adds this via Twitter: "The Clippers are also showing an interest in Bucks assistant Kelvin Sampson, sources tell Y! Sampson has relationship with Blake Griffin."
Add it all up, and Sampson seems likely to at least get an interview of two out of these openings. Whether he nabs a job, though, remains to be seen.
