Chris Mullin has accepted St. John's offer to become head coach.

“He’s in,” a source close to Mullin told the Daily News, adding that he’s on his way to New York.

Mullin is St. John's all-time leading scorer.

Mullin served in several capacities with the Golden State Warriors, including five seasons as general manager. He is leaving a position as an advisor for the NBA Sacramento Kings.

Chris Mullin has been offered the head coaching job of St. John's.

A deal could be done as soon as Sunday night as Mullin considers taking the offer.

Mullin, 51, is one of the greatest players in St. John's history, winning the Big East Player of the Year award three times in the 1980s.

Mullin has spent time in a front office capacity with both the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings since his retirement.

St. John's and Steve Lavin parted ways this week.

St. John's and Steve Lavin have mutually agreed to part ways after five seasons.

Lavin and the school were previously deep into extension talks. Lavin led St. John's to the second round of the tournament.

"Coach Lavin returned high expectations to our men's basketball program and represented St. John's in a positive way," St. John's athletic director Chris Monasch said in a statement Friday. "We appreciate his commitment to the program and to our student-athletes over the past five years."

St. John's is interested in former NBA player and St. John's star Chris Mullin as Lavin's replacement. Mullin, who led St. John's to the 1985 Final Four, works as an adviser for the Sacramento Kings.

Omri Casspi would like to re-sign with the Sacramento Kings in free agency this offseason.

Casspi has been encouraged by the initial weeks of George Karl's tenure.

“I want to come back here so badly,” Casspi said. “I love the community and I feel like the team is finally moving in the right direction. George Karl’s system is great, and I’m not just saying that because I play for him, but because I really do believe this is the right way to play basketball. Spacing the floor. Moving, making extra passes, sharing the ball. Getting our hands on balls, deflections, then getting out and running. Unfortunately, coach Karl has not had a lot of time to teach us everything, but these last two games, you can see what we can become.”

Casspi is represented by Dan Fegan, who is also agent for DeMarcus Cousins.

Casspi's girlfriend is a native of Los Angeles who has practice law in Israel. If Casspi re-signs, she plans on taking the California bar exam.

“Shani loves it here,” Casspi said of his girlfriend. “We both do. This community has been through so much, and now we are on the right path. I want to be a part of that, especially with that new arena coming, coach Karl and Vlade here. When the time comes, my agent will talk to (general manager) Pete (D’Alessandro) and hopefully we get it done.”

The Sacramento Kings are lining up a 10-day contract for David Wear.

Wear has played for the Reno Bighorns in the NBA D-League this season.

Vlade Divac has been named vice president of basketball and franchise operations.

Divac played for the Kings between 1998 and 2004.

Divac will advise the Kings' front office and coaching staff, while also assisting in global branding efforts.

“With an unparalleled philanthropic track record that spans the globe, Vlade Divac is the epitome of our NBA 3.0 philosophy,” said Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé. “He has a unique perspective and global stature that will only further elevate our organization around the world.”
