    1) Karl
    2) JVG
    3) Hollins
    4) SVG

    Wild card) Thibs, if he's available(doubtful though with 3 years left on his deal)

    Funny how people on this board wanted jvg fired when he was the coach. What makes you think he's gotten any better? His defense was good but the offense was absolutely putrid.

    JVG over emphasized on defense and caused psychosomatic injuries to Tmac....and Bonzi Wells. He is the anthesis of McHale, and thats not a good thing. Need more of a middle ground.

    Would be fine with JVG, Thibs, or Kevin Ollie from UConn

    For Harden's and Parson's benefit...? I'd go with Hollins...

    For Lin's and Dwight's...? I'd go with Karl...

    Lin can only play more consistently, and not all that better than he has in his past.. Dwight already proved his mettle...

    So, yes... Hollins would be VERY nice...

    We just need Morey to realize that analytics aren't the be-all-end-all of basketball... It sure hasn't been for baseball... and try to take a more balanced approach...

    Not really... Next year is a team option... If they don't pick it up, he's gone..

    Easy peasy...

    PLEASE PLEASE GET JEFF VAN GUNDY.

    This team needs some damn discipline playing defense. I've heard enough of JVG on national TV. He obviously has a great basketball mind and should be a good fit for this team.

    Hollins is the biggest hard-ass coach. I don't think him and Dwight would get along

    I'm pretty sure Morey won't consider Karl with the way he's been trashing Carmelo in the media.

    **** George Karl he couldn't get out the first round with Melo and AI. At least Hollins beat the Spurs in the playoffs. My next xhoice would be Ollie.
