I would love that but I don't think KG would do it.

This will be a major make-or-break decision.


it will be inasmuch as they better hire somebody that Tatum and Brown like a whole lot

Thinking outside the Box, what about Rondo?

Brad and Rondo  ...didnt work as coach and player

It wouldnt work as GM to Coaching

Wyc and Brad: dont  be harsh on Jays

Rondo: cant promise you that

Tbh I would love to have Rondo as the coach. He wouldnt mess around

Rondo would light a fire! Great basketball mind.

He is also kind of a d#%^#

I think someone like Sam Cassell would be perfect for this team. Not only is Sam a former player, but is an African American coach. Would someone like Jaylen take it personally to make sure everyone on the team is accountable for making sure an African American head coach succeeds. Especially one, that has been an assistant coach for so long and has yet to receive a head coaching shot.

As cool as it would be to see Becky Hammon get the job, I’m not sure she would fit on this team.

Stevens should talk to Tatum and Brown (if Stevens plans on building around them), and allow them to have input. I don't want them picking the head coach, but if playing for a former player or an African American coach is important to them, then the candidates should come from someone from that group.

This makes sense. I hope we grab someone who'll have this team running a lot more. I didn't vote for D'antoni and he's 70 but he would be an interesting choice. There are a lot of players on this roster who would benefit from an uptempo style even though we don't really have enough shooting for a total Sun's 7 seconds or less 3-point gunning team.

Apparently 2 of the options are Jason Kidd and Lloyd Pierce  ???

Feeding rid of Brad was the easy part...I suspect replacing him will be a bit more challenging

I'm not feeling Pierce or Kidd at all.  I guess I'm not feeling a re-tread, put Atkinson into this same category.

My top choices would be Cassell, Clifford, and from college, Jay Wright.  I'm leaning Clifford, looks like his contract is up and he did a decent job with the Magic.  I'm sure there are others, and maybe I'll like one of those more, but these three top my list.

Greg Anthony?...always liked that guy....would be out of left field. Smart and respected

Billups would be good too.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.
