don't think there's a better coach in the league who knows how to control the tempo of the game. knows how to play two bigs together. doesn't have a system really, more or less does the best with the cards he's dealt, so he's flexible. overachieved the last year in Sacramento, who's front office has been a mess since vlade arrived. his memphis teams were tough and always showed up. very good day game coach.

Generally there’s not a home run candidate and you have to hope that whoever they bring in just clicks for whatever reason. Could get a McAdoo could get a Dug.

Bu seriously, tho they're going to have to stop playing the step over video when we hire Lue, which is just crazy.

Gotta milk the Jordan one that much more.

If we’re considering qualified candidates, why are we not talking re: Eddie Jordan?

Can't wait for Sonny Hill's show on Sunday morning where some caller will almost certainly advocate for Herb Magee

Being eminently qualified makes him overqualified.

What funny is everyone’s gut reaction to Ty Lue (including mine) is “meh” but we might not even get him if he’s our first choice

Something to be said for him dealing with stars I guess but his whole system in playoffs for cavs was run a P&R to get the right matchup on a switch, and we fucking suck at P&R. Maybe that’s a reason to bring him in to coach that up though. Who knows

Hubie Brown would be a better hire than Mike Brown.

Didn’t he get fired for lying about getting his degree in phys ed from Rutgers?

That EJ year was probably as awful and infuriating as this year in many ways.

Mike could get some advice from his cousins Brett and Larry about coaching here.

A league source says communications are happening on that front. Will he get an interview? To be determined.


By these standards, literally anyone could be in the mix.

He's such a hack lol. In a couple weeks he'll publish an article about Mike Brown being a great option that was clearly written by Mike Brown's agent.

I'm ready for another Larry Brown era at age 79... who can't see Joel yelling where's my coach after winning the All Star game MVP???
Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

I'm actually all in on LB in some sort of advisory/muse type role, like that behind the scenes guy Belichick has. Let him sit behind the bench if he wants, he can still contribute to a defensive scheme in some capacity at 79

coached Shake as a freshman. Knowing LB, that means he probably didn't get to play very much
