    Perfect match: Stan Van Gundy's side pick-and-roll sets with Batum & Aldridge? Turkoglu played his best ball under SVG; could Batum blossom?

    I'm fine with Mike Malone/Brian Shaw/SVG would rather have SVG from that bunch but I would pick any of those three as my first choice. I wouldn't mind Canalas simply because he has the complete support of the players.

    It's an interesting thought ... I have to wonder how long it would last given SVG's tendency to grate on player's, but he's definitely a good coach and can probably install some structure.

    The downside: His pace is just as slow as McMillan-ball.

    Batum isnt half the ball handler turk is. That would be a train wreck.

    Malone or shaw.

    The only player thats really had a problem with SVG was Howard. Everybody knows how much of a diva Howard is.

    1a) Mike D'Antoni
    1b) Mike Malone
    3) Mike Budenholzer
    4) Steve Van Gundy


    I'm kinda surprised that it's this late in the process and they have about 20 guys they want to interview.

    Budenholzer and Malone should be our main targets IMO.

    I wonder who these assistant coaches can bring in to help them if hired. That has to be a factor since they have no head coaching history to evaluate. Being a top assistant does mean you are head coach material. You have to have some leadership skills as well. Not sure if Canales is the best choice but if he can deliver Grgurich I would think that is a plus. Unless PA is still pissed at Grgs over the law suite.

    I wonder if we lose Kaleb when they hire a new coach. He does not seem as happy as he was last year during the interviews I have seen. I am sure it is a little uncomfortable for him right now though.

    Actually I remember something from last season; they did one of those league-wide polls of players and they asked guys to rank the coaches/players on a bunch of different categories: most likable, least likable, dirtiest, nicest, etc. and SVG was one of the most disliked guys IIRC.
