He's obviously referring to these two birds:

Candidate that would us cringe...D'Antoni?

Based on Cod's posting history, I'd say Hornaceck could be the Top 5 candidate being referred to here. Personally, I don't think JH was given much support from the front office in building a competitive team. How many PGs could they hoard for 1 team? Just odd building.

I agree! I can't see any connection to what Bird says and what he does. Well, I guess McMillan is not an avian as Vogel and Bird are. So, probably there is now less congestion in the air space over Indianapolis.

Thanks for the post Codman. Appreciated.

Hmm, The Birds (T capitalized). How about ThunderBirds? (Durant)

From an Ear:

With coaches being hired rather quickly at this point, allegedly, Rockets mgmt has their top 5 choices in mind. Some are obvious, one would make some of us cringe (me, too), one is an outlier and one I don't know enough about. I would be surprised if a risk was taken on a former player as a coach from what I've heard, but you never know. Hell, Luke Walton is a head coach after being known for a terrible tattoo all of those years in LA.

Control is another issue. Some coaches are looking to be pure coaches...some want the SVG/DOC/POP control of the team. That complicates Morey's position completely. It will be interesting to see how it pans out.

I'd expect more clarification before the Finals, at the latest.

Morey's hot seat, if the whispers are accurate, may depend on this transaction. It sounds like he's expected to deliver the goods. If not, the Morey era may stall for a bit.

The vibe I get is that he's safe for now, and while MANY are angry in MGMT, there's an understanding of a terrible season versus numerous successful ones. So, perhaps, second chances may exist in the higher ups, too?

Lastly, as the Summer begins, watch for The Birds. Both types.

Peace and Love to ya'll.

(And I hope we get our Coach)

But, I dont think Durant is leaving OKC now. At least not this summer after getting to the WCF.

On coaching, I wonder if JVG will come to Houston without player personnel power. Or is that the holdup?

So I actually think one of the reasons JVG would come back is precisely because he has a good relationship with Morey. I think a consensus GM type relationship would be possible because JVG knows Morey is a good GM.

Sure, if Morey accepts a demotion. Anyone think that's gonna happen?

Source: Knicks' Phil Jackson, Steve Mills met face-to-face with former Pacers coach Frank Vogel

Phil Jackson met face-to-face with with former Indiana Pacers head coach Frank Vogel last week, the Daily News has learned.

The clandestine meeting, which is believed to have taken place in Los Angeles, also included Knicks general manager Steve Mills, according to a team source.

Kurt Rambis, David Blatt and Vogel are the top-three candidates for one of more coveted NBA jobs. Jackson's meeting with Vogel also raises further questions to whether Garden Chairman James Dolan is opposed to signing off on Jackson's preferred choice, Rambis.

Jackson then met with Blatt, former Cleveland Cavaliers coach who was once Mills' college teammate. Blatt appears to be the preferred choice of Mills, and if the Knicks hired Blatt, it could be interpreted as Dolan stepping in and siding with Mills, who figures to outlast Jackson in New York anyway.

Jackson understands that Rambis would be an unpopular choice, but hiring Rambis allows Jackson to be more involved in coaching the team, which is what Jackson clearly enjoys most about his current position.

Jackson wants the Knicks to run the triangle and even held a two-day triangle seminar a week after the season for approximately 10 players.

Jackson cannot handle the physical demands of coaching an 82-game season, but he believes he can have a greater influence on the team by having Rambis, who shares his vision and philosophy, in charge.

Jackson can sell Rambis to Dolan on the idea that Jackson will be working closely with his long-time friend. Dolan should have known what he was signing up for when he signed Jackson. And if Jackson is most comfortable working with Rambis, he should be given the authority to hire Rambis.

With all of the upstairs drama and a GM who clearly want to micro manage what happens on the floor from the front office, I don't see how this would be a very desirable situation for any coach.
