Might as well start a thread for this. So yesterday was all about Jay Wright rumors.

Today....Marc Stein is reporting these are the names on our list...

Luke Walton
Earl Watson
Mike D'Antoni
and.......GASP! Dan Majerle!

The only one that's a big surprise to me is Thunder Dan. I don't think Watson will get the job, but am not surprised they'll interview him. Coach Pringles would be a blast from the past and Luke Walton is not surprising.

Frankly, I'm not to thrilled about anyone on that list. I'd take Jay Wright over any of them, But Dan is intriguing. He's too similar to Horneck to me, although I'd root like hell for the guy. He has done a really nice job at GCU

That list sucks.

Majerle has done a heck of a job at GCU.

I'd take D'Antoni from that list, and it's not remotely close.

Sure. But I don't think that means he would be a great HC in the NBA.

Me too, and I don't want D'Antoni. That list blows.

Blows is putting it mildly.

Nothing mild about it if done right.

Heyooooo!

I want D'Antoni too. Very interested in what he can do with Booker and Warren.

It doesn't mean he wouldn't be either.

You guys don't think he's staying in Philly now?

I'm iffy on Luke Walton. I don't doubt the coaching potential, just not sure about him yet. And while we're not on the level of bad the Knicks are, the same argument applies. Why leave GS for this? They're one of the premier teams/orgs, their window isn't close to closing, and he'd be the obvious replacement for Kerr should his health issues come up again.

I don't know how Walton is any different from Hornacek. Show me how he handles adversity first, otherwise, I have just as little interest in him as I do Harrison Barnes.

I know you're joking, but there is one on the tapatalk app. I like posts all the time.

Right. It has no bearing on it either way.

Agreed with the consensus that the list is underwheleming. I think Walton is more of an unknown than people are leading on in the media. I mean he could be a good coach, but I don't give him that much credit for GS's success while he was coaching. Someone will throw huge money at him and hopefully it won't be us. Majerle is similar to Hornecek and Mike D'Antoni, although I think he'd make the suns alot more entertaining hasn't really had any success since he's left us. I'm not an Earl Watson guy either...

Would Coach D and Majerle even want to come here? Didn't both guys leave on bitter terms that had a lot to do with Sarver.

D'Antoni just got to Philly, where his best pals and fellow Italians the Colangeli have just seized power. He's next in line behind lame duck Brett Brown. There is no way he would leave there to come back here.
