Sources: Warriors considering Lloyd Pierce as coaching staff addition

The Warriors currently have a vacancy on their coaching staff after Jarron Collins left the organization three weeks ago.

And the franchise is considering hiring Lloyd Pierce to assume that role on the front of the bench, sources told NBC Sports Bay Area's Monte Poole.

As Warriors coach Steve Kerr fills out his staff, one name said to be under consideration: former Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce. There have been conversations, per NBA sources, and Kerr and Pierce are on Gregg Popovich's Team USA staff.
