Report: Andy Greer and Nick Nurse among possible assistants coaches to join Warriors' staff
Following their signing of Steve Kerr earlier this week, the Golden State Warriors are looking to supplement their rookie coach's staff with some assistant coaches.
Among staff possibilities for Golden State coach Steve Kerr: Andy Greer (Chicago) and Nick Nurse (Toronto), sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Andy Greer spent the past season as an assistant coach with the Chicago Bulls under Tom Thibodeau. He also served as an assistant in parts of the last decade with the Knicks, Rockets and Grizzlies.
Nick Nurse was hired as an assistant in Toronto last offseason. His coaching record spans 12 seasons as a head coach in Europe, in addition to five seasons in the NBA developmental league. His speciality is coordinating the offense, a role he currently holds with the Raptors.
The Warriors may be hard-pressed to pry either Nurse or Greer from their respective squads, as both the Bulls and Raptors managed to qualify for the playoffs this past season. It's also worth nothing that both Greer and Nurse currently work under defense-first coaches in Toronto's Dwane Casey and Chicago's Thibodeau.
