I don't understand the hype he is getting as candidate to so many coaching openings. He is a first time coach with no experience as an asistant. He played for Jackson and Popovich, big deal, then Robert Horry should be next in line for Coach of the year.

SVG is great. He'll do well wherever he lands.

Cavs just made David Griffin permanent GM and fired Mike Brown.

I like one of those moves.

I never understood the hiring of Brown by the Lakers and then the Cavs again.

"There's." Spelling/Grammar. :p

Actually it should be "there're" or "there are" since we are talking about plural nouns.

That's crazy. Where are you hearing that? That's a ton of money for a first-time coach.

What old interview?

I don't know about top 3-4, but I do respect his coaching ability, regardless of what Shaq says, and he would be a good hire. The only reservation I would have is how he would connect with the players.

About time for Brown, I don't know how he keeps getting gigs. That team was a mess.

Good luck to Griffin although I've never been overly impressed with his GMing skills. We'll see how he does.

SVG just signed for the pistons coaching vacancy.

Crazy money being thrown around nowadays.

it's easier to be successful in the east and exceed low expectations.

I can't believe SVG took that Detroit job. That org is messed up. Their roster stinks and I just don't see anybody there with high basketball skill or acumen. Why go to a place where you're the only talent? That Warriors job looked way better to me, to say nothing of all the other NBA coaching jobs that are undoubtedly going to be available by this offseason.

Power is power.

As a fan of a team in the West, I'm happy SVG didn't take the GSW job.

Yeah I guess you can chalk it up to the fact that SVG was sick of working under people who tried to micromanage or undermine him. Working under Riley was a bad experience for him. So he picked the situation where he had the most control and power and long-term stability. I can see how he would not want to go to GSW where the owner seems overbearing so far.

Because it's a fair point. I loved KJ as a player, probably my favorite player of all-time, but he has a lot of dirty laundry in his closet for which he has never been held accountable. So for him to be leading the mob calling for Sterling's head is a little much.
