surely there is no way malone comes back as an assistant.
he did a solid job but coming back to us as an assistant would be like recognising to himself and the league that he's fine with being an assistant. Would have thought he'd be great for orlandos head coaching role. Young solid big, great young wing, great young guards. build something there coach and we'll see you in the finals in a few years.
if your malone your focusing on the positives, pushing the story that you were hard done by the circus of ownership/GM in sac and pushing for a head coaching role on a young team. I'll say it - coming back to us would be a step backwards career wise. There is enough there to warrent bigger and better things. Boy would we take him, though its a pipedream i feel.
