lue > rivers > d'antoni
of the names being thrown around.
wasn't a huge fan of lue at first because of a lebron affect, but going back maybe that wasn't fair. he's grown on me. his name hasn't come up much since the beginning, but i would take joerger over what's available.
The added plus to Joerger being a really good coach is that maybe he will kill off Josh Harris.
GM's/owners have to be afraid to touch him.
and I say that as if it's a bad thing. I'll need hours of convincing.
