[Flip Saunders] already has tabbed former NBA player Sam Cassell as an assistant.
Saunders is expected to bring along Cassell, who could possibly relate to Arenas. Cassell is a respected player who won three championship rings -- two with Houston and one with Boston last season -- and has crossed paths with both Saunders and Grunfeld over his 17-year career. He spent this season with Boston, serving as a de facto player-coach for the Celtics' Doc Rivers, before getting traded to Sacramento and waived in February.
