The Philadelphia 76ers are expected to soon conclude their investigation into social media allegations against Bryan Colangelo.

Some league sources expect Colangelo to lose his job as president of basketball operations.

A league source said Colangelo was visibly shaken when the report broke while he was attending a workout in Los Angeles.

Colangelo has missed predraft workouts on Wednesday and Thursday.

“The only way that he’ll get out of it is if he comes with evidence that somebody set him up,” said a league executive, speaking on condition of anonymity. “If it is out there where they can’t prove either way, I don’t think he’ll keep his job. And if there’s involvement with a family member, it doesn’t look like he has a chance either.”

The start of the NBA Finals could have played a factor in Philadelphia's timetable, according to sources. The league did not want the controversy to further distract from Game 1.

Dwane Casey is meeting with the Detroit Pistons on Thursday regarding their head coaching vacancy.

The Toronto Raptors parted ways with Casey this offseason despite finishing with the second best record in the NBA.

The Pistons are searching for a replacement for Stan Van Gundy.

Bob Myers had an extended conversation on the eve of The Finals to discuss the present and future of the Golden State Warriors.

“I definitely know this is ending,” Myers said. “I don’t need any reminders. The narrative is, ‘This will go on forever.’ On the record, it can’t. Nothing does, especially in a sport where the competition is so great.” 

The Warriors barely beat the Rockets to reach their fourth straight Finals.

“No team should last forever. It’s not good for anybody,” Myers said. “I’m fully aware. I don’t need a reminder from Houston to know how fragile this whole thing is. That’s a part of it. That’s why you have to appreciate it.”

Myers was asked how much his decision making will be influenced by the Warriors' success or failure against the Cavaliers.

“I don’t know. I don’t think you can evaluate anything until your year is over, good, bad or in the middle,” Myers said. “It’s an incomplete product. Who knows. I have no idea if we win or lose, what that will look like. I think our players have shown they’re made of the right stuff. So you don’t do anything rash. They’ve earned the right to continue on this journey.”

The Warriors have future decisions to make with new contracts coming due for Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.

“At one point, players get older and teams get broken up,” Myers said. “It always happens. You just don’t know when.”

Ron Baker has exercised his $4.5 million player option for the 18-19 season with the New York Knicks.

Baker signed a two-year, $8.9 million deal with the Knicks last offseason.

The Detroit Pistons are considering Ime Udoka and Juwan Howard for their head coaching vacancy.

Udoka and Howard are currently assistants with the Spurs and Heat respectively.

The Pistons are also interested in Kenny Smith and Dwane Casey.

The Detroit Pistons will interview Kenny Smith for their head coaching vacancy.

Smith also interviewed this offseason with the New York Knicks.

Smith is a longtime studio analyst for TNT.

The Los Angeles Lakers hosted LiAngelo Ball for a workout this week as he goes through the draft process.

But the Lakers are not believed to have any intentions to add Ball to their program, even for the G League.

Ball is the younger brother of Lonzo Ball and played in Lithuania this season.

"The NBA executives I have spoken to about LiAngelo Ball have all said that they don’t feel he’s talented enough to play in the G-League," said Jeff Goodman.

The Detroit Pistons have retained Bernie Bickerstaff and Jim Lynam to consult with Ed Stefanski for their head coaching search.

Bickerstaff and Lyman will sit in on interviews with prospective candidates.

The Pistons recently hired Stefanski to oversee their front office.

The Boston Celtics are interested in moving up to select Mo Bamba, according to sources.

The Celtics would likely need to trade up to the No. 3 through No. 6 range in order to select Bamba.

The Celtics have a need for a defensive center and Bamba projects as a potential All-Defensive caliber player.

Boston owns the No. 27 overall pick and have multiple other assets available.

The Denver Nuggets continue to pursue a trade of Kenneth Faried, who has been out of their rotation for some time now.

"The Nuggets have been trying to get off of Kenneth Faried's contract for a year plus," said Wojnarowski. "They're a candidate to use that 14th pick to get off of that salary."

Faried has one more season at $13.8 million on his contract and moving that salary could help give the Nuggets cap flexibility.
