Sixers' GM Ed Stefanski has already given Coach Mo Cheeks a one-year extension, and another may be on the way, Phil Jasner of of the Philadelphia Daily News is reporting.

Stefanski confirmed his plans to at least discuss the idea with Cheeks last night, before Philadelphia was eliminated from the playoffs at the hands of Detroit.

"When I took the job [in early December], I didn't know Maurice, but I've been very happy with what I've seen," Stefanski said. "When I gave him the 1-year extension - and I know some people felt I should have done more - I felt it was a reward. I've been very happy since then, too."

"To me, it's only natural to sit down with him at whatever point our season is over and talk about things, see where his head is. And when I talk about him, I always like to mention the staff [assistants Jim Lynam, Henry Bibby, John Loyer, and Bernie Smith] because they've done it together."
