Here's the other side of the coin. Just how attractive is this coaching job now?
Coaching here? You get a 3+ year deal, only have to work 1 year of it, get fired, and get paid all the rest to do nothing. What's not to like?

I’d guess it’s Willie Green if he gets released…Chris Quinn if not

Royal Ivey is my guess, I think Booker and KD both like the way Houston does things.

I take it Ivey is a Rockets assistant?

Yeah, he also coached South Sudan in the Olympics and they played their asses off. Former player, young, from a solid structure, checks a lot of boxes for me.

No way they go Brown who routinely throws his players under the bus. Can't see that, the rest though they all seem like legitimate candidates.

I think I would also put Mike Malone on the interview list.
Don’t call him Mike or he’ll get mad.

Like I said in a previous thread I think he and Klutch were using the Suns as leverage for a new deal.

Mike Brown? Gross. David Fizdale can stay the hell away too.

None of those guys. I haven't had my coffee yet so I can't give you alternatives. But none of the options presented appeal to me.
