While noting that nothing is locked up, Comcast NBA analyst Ric Bucher reported late Tuesday that "all indications" suggest Brian Scalabrine will take an assistant coaching position with the Golden State Warriors.

The Boston Celtics broadcaster (and former player) met with Warriors management and coach Mark Jackson during the past couple weeks, as reported by Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski. Scalabrine turned down an opportunity to join Tom Thibodeau's staff in Chicago last season, but worked out several draft prospects this summer (including Kelly Olynyk) and clearly has a knack for breaking down the game (as he shows on television).

Jackson's staff in Golden State already has a little Boston flavor. Former Celtics assistant Darren Erman (yes, the same dude featured as an assistant coach in Wojnarowski's fantastic book, The Miracle of St. Anthony) drove cross-country to join the Warriors' staff in 2011. Erman, who also served as an assistant at Brandeis University for two years, will coach Golden State's summer league entry.

Golden State is looking to fill out its staff after the departures of Mike Malone, who was named Sacramento Kings head coach, and Bob Beyer, who joined Steve Clifford's staff in Charlotte.
