I didn't realize this hasn't happened yet!

Luke Walton to coach? That's probably who they're aiming at getting.

[SparzWizard]

Now please hire another useless coach!

[GreenFaith1819]

Wow.

Thought they'd at least give him another year.

I guess they believe they're going to bring in a coach that will attract a big name or two.

[SparzWizard]

Or I fear that it's gonna be Coach Kobe...

[CelticSooner]

Would not be shocked to see Jackson go back to LA. That job in NY is a pure money grab.

[Denis998]

How are they going to tank without him?

Tanks are too obvious.  They have a new surveillance system that should get the job done.

Lol. This can only be good news for the Nets pick, as long as they don't hire Randy Wittman.

That would be hilarious!

[alldaboston]

Is there a good candidate left besides Walton? I can't think of any...

Even the solid, not great ones are gone now (brooks and thibs)
