What's new

This may not warrant its own thread.....

Phil Jackson doesn't coach teams unless he has the best roster in the NBA.

Coach K would be awesome and I'm going to pretend for the rest of today that it's so crazy that it just might work.

Scott Layden is a name that intrigues me.

If I'm Dennis Lindsey I at least put some feelers out to Jim Boylen's agent.

Calhoun might be avail.

Srs tho, what coach would fit the bill here?

Scott Layden? Why is he so intriguing? I think he is worse than Corbin. Coach K and Calhoun are not coming to the NBA. Calhoun is old and he may never coach again.

I really would like to hear these potential FAs that want to come to Utah along with these potential Trades that will make it appealing for a top notch coach to even want to come to Utah.

If you build a team the coaches will be knocking down the door. Unfortunately, our team Core5 pieces haven't performed consistently enough to warrant a high pick in the 2014 draft. Do you think any team would trade Favors for a top 5 pick? Why not just draft Embiid? He cost a lot less and has just as much potential as Favors and he plays center. Hayward has the most market value but he is a RFA so he would have to agree to a sign and trade. Teams are not going to rent him for a year. Burks is a major disappointment so we could trade him as part of a package or for another disappointing player. Kanter probably gets us a top 10 pick but not a top 5 so I wouldn't want to trade him. Burke hasn't even played much besides what is the market for him. What team really needs a PG who is all about potential and hasn't really shown he can be an NBA PG.

Now if GS goes in the tank and the pick is way better than anticipated and the Jazz get Wiggins/Parker/Randle then with the GS pick they get Young/Harrison/? Now you have a small piece but either these FAs or Trades have to end up being great or the Core5 players are going to need to get their stuff together.
 
This is NOT a list of homerun hires, but guys I would look at when replacing Ty.

Sean Miller - Helluva coach, very bright future.
Thad Matta - Great coach.
Bob Huggins - VERY underrated and would remind everyone of Majerus R.I.P.
Jim Larranaga - UNderrated
Shaka Smart - young upcoming coach that would be fun to have running the team.
Jay Wright - Looks the part. haha

Here's another one for you. . .

Ettore Messina

Possibly the first ever European born head coach?

He worked for the Lakers for a little while, has had success at the international level and the Hawks flirted with the idea of hiring him for the head job last year. Greg Popovich thinks highly of him and expects that a team with "guts" will take a chance on an international coach. Seems like something that DL would be interested in doing. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Just so you know. I'm from Kentucky, somewhat of a redneck, and generally feel Europeans suck at basketball. and tbh.. are deficient in every way.
 
What do NBA decision makers know about Hollins that ol UGLI doesnt?

Not sayin I'd be jumping for joy if we hired him, but he seems like a better coach than about half of NBA coaches.

What's the deal?

I thought hollins was not sold I the advanced stats stuff, and that was why he was out in Memphis? He seems old school to me.
