There was a gulf with owner and Adelman.
LARRY Brown. Proven to bring bad teams (Clippers, Sixers, Pacers) to glory... or... at least winning seasons. Why is that? Avery was a former Rocket.
Who is the black guy who is a Lakers assistant? Can't remember his name, but very impressed when I heard him interviewed. I want him.

If they do go with Brad Stevens, there's one silver lining. As a recent college coach, he's used to dealing with immature players. Welcome back, T-Will!
God help me, I keep coming back to Sloan. Who better to coach THIS roster (besides, you know, Adelman)?
Someone posted about having an offensive coach and a defensive coach the other day, like in the NFL. We should get Stan Van Gundy for offense and JVG for defense. That would be hilarious.
If there's anybody in the league that would have been more pissed about trading Battier for Thabeet, it would be Sloan. I think he's too old school for our new school approach.
Team Van Gundy would be awesome, as long as they promise to get into the occasional fist fight on the sidelines.
Brian shaw? Some people think he's likely to get the LA job when Jax steps down. Im not sold on Stevens coaching in the NBA...but if he's going to suceed in the NBA i guess this would be the best fit next to Morey and coaching these guys...
Quin Snyder. Best coach available...competitive, winner, coach offense & defense. He has been around basketball all his life and learned from some of the best...(Coach K, Larry Brown, Doug Collins, Spurs org.) MY VOTE is Coach Quin Snyder!
I would either be keeping Elston Turner or taking a shot a Lawrence Frank from Boston. JVG isnt what we need, although we do need a defensive minded coach.
