Stephen Silas appears to be a fairly in-demand coaching property in the NBA.
The Charlotte Hornets assistant is reportedly set to speak to Warriors coach Steve Kerr about his soon-to-be vacant associate coaching position.
Sources: Charlotte's Stephen Silas is flying to Oklahoma City to meet with Steve Kerr on Monday for Golden State's top assistant's job.

Silas, the son of former NBA coach Paul Silas, has history with the Warriors, having served as an assistant there from 2006 to 2010.
Silas may yet want to keep his options open. He is reportedly one of the frontrunners for the head job in Houston. Still, lead assistant at Golden State is a pretty nice gig, and the fact that Kerr is targeting him speaks to how he’s regarded in league circles. Luke Walton parlayed the job into a fantastic resume that got him the Lakers job this offseason, so the future must be bright for Silas as well.
