Marc Stein：独行侠助教斯威尼和杜德利都参加了太阳队的主教练选拔，最终克里夫兰骑士队助理教练乔丹-奥特被太阳队聘用。
联盟消息人士称，马刺也对尝试聘请斯威尼，邀请其与马刺队新任主教练米奇-约翰逊共事表示了强烈的兴趣。而孟菲斯灰熊队最近也面试了杜德利，希望他能成为伊萨洛在灰熊队的助教。
Sweeney and Dudley both featured in the Suns' head coaching search that ultimately resulted in the hiring of Cleveland Cavaliers assistant coach Jordan Ott. League sources tell The Stein Line that the San Antonio Spurs, furthermore, have expressed strong interest in trying to hire Sweeney away from Dallas to work alongside new Spurs full-time head coach Mitch Johnson, while the Memphis Grizzlies recently interviewed Dudley for a potential role on Tuomas Iisalo's first staff with the Grizzlies.
