Steve Kerr is reviewing his other options as talks with Knicks are dragged out:

I think they are just bidding their time and are going ot go hard after 1-2 people (Messina then Boylen) that are unavailable at this time.

Jazz, following the same strategy they use with their own players, are letting coaches shop the market and establish their value before offering a contract. Expect Ty Corbin to return as HC at minimum wage.

Sounds like Stan Van to GSW is down to negotiating a contract.
I read Kerr to Knicks is held up over fifth year guaranteed vs 4 years guaranteed.
Meanwhile in Jazz land Randy Rigby is still googling "good basketball coaches" and reading the Wikipedia entry for Pat Summit.

At least no one has snatched up boylen yet
That strategy could work with players but not with coaches. I hope they have learned their lesson after Corbin.
There are different good coaches available....they have to stay ahead of the game! But please no Boylen!

The only thing that scares me about the SVG thing is that I thought he might stay available until the Laker's gig cleared up. Either that job is not as desirable as we all thought, or they actually have a short list that didn't include SVG. That would mean they have an idea who they want, which would be very un-Buss like. I don't like that feeling at all.
The Kerr thing is interesting too as he was using the Warriors as leverage against the Knicks. If he is still dragging is feet, who is the other team he is flirting with (Please be Lakers, please be Lakers!) I can see Buss going after Kerr just to spite Jackson. That would be epic!
Also no rumors of Boylen going anywhere else. At least with Corbin, there were rumors of other teams eyeing him before he took over. Zip on Boylen. It's not going to be Boylen.

Per Adrian Woj and others, the deal between Stan Van Gundy and the Warriors is suddenly off the table. Van Gundy wanted full control of bball operations, the Warriors said not.

Which means Utah, which had 0 chance of getting him before, now has less than zero. Sounds like SVG really doesn't want to coach. Letting a coach also be the GM is not a good idea. No one is going to give him fool control of bball operations (see what I did there?).

Detroit offered him that arrangement, which is why he asked for it from GS. And now he's deliberating
