Gambo reporting that the candidates the Suns are most interested in during the pre interview process are Nick Van Exel, Jerry Stackhouse, Jason Kidd and David Fizdale.

Gross on Kidd unless he's bringing Giannis with him later on. I've heard stackhouse mentioned as an up and comer. Fizdale has a good reputation and would probably be solid. What is van exel up to?

Dammit, why did Kidd have to be on that list? C'mon man.

Are you aware that is a Shannon Brown video?
A nice little blast from the past there.
I thought it would be funny to post an old video, then found Shannon freaking brown saying almost exactly what I bet someone like Troy Daniels is probably saying this offseason. Seriously, that could be a script for our guys this year.

This fucking sucks. If they hire Kidd -- I may be finished as a Suns fan.

It really shows a lack of knowledge about the history of the Suns that they are even interviewing him. You might call it a middle finger to the fans.

Yeah -- no kidding. They will probably interview Horry and Mario Elie, too. Although Elie I came to like later.

Agreed--what a stunningly mediocre list. It would be crushing to have a brand new head coach again.

I had the same thought. This really can't be the list though, right?

I really don't get the whole spend big for a coach thing if they aren't gonna interview coaches worth spending big on. Kidd is a name and nothing more, Fizdale, sure, but spend big to get him? Nah. Stackhouse looks like a solid prospect but no way does he deserve big money. Just don't get it.

That list is donkey butt. I'm going to listen to the podcast from today's shows and see if that's the whole list or what.

What I gathered while listening. Didn't hear Van Exel or Stackhouse's name brought up. I checked out all the Suns talk in hour 2, 3 and 4.
  • Hopes Triano gets a fair shot but doesn't think he's at the top of their list.
  • He lists Jay Wright & Fizdale as examples of someone they might be interested in.
  • Just throwing Kidd's name out there, has heard nothing.
  • If Triano is 4th on that list after those guys then you hire him.
  • Thinks there will be 6-8 coaching openings in the league this Summer.
  • Thinks there's a lot of stink on Triano from Watson working against him.
  • Coaching search will be more private than in the past.
  • Doesn't think it will be Kidd based on the things he's heard.
  • James Jones was very involved in the exit interviews.
