Head Coach wanted, PPT presenters automatically disqualified

[fnordius]

There's virtually zero chance Larry Brown is coming to Sac. He's virtually certain to replace Billy King as the 76ers GM or Maurice Cheeks as their head coach next season. Next suggestion?

Having just handed $4.7M to a guy for work not done, the front office might be quite uncomfortable the Larry Brown idea, since he ended up getting $18.5M from NY in an even uglier farewell. The '6ers can have him.

Oh how I would love to see Bill Walton be the coach for a day...

Kings, are down 1 with 10 seconds left in the fourth

Bill: "Alright boys, the fate of Western civilization lies in your hands at this very moment. It's just you guys, and the ball. Nobody else is out there"

Kevin:"Yeah...What about the defenders?"

Bill:"Don't worry about them. I sacrificed a lamb this morning to the basketball gods, the balance of power has shifted in our favor."

Bill:"Now, the jump ball. The epitomy of nature. The balance of power of all the earth, the fate of Western civilization as we know it, lies in that ball, at that moment as it reaches it's apex in the atmosphere, and falls down to the Kings of the universe."

Mike: "We don't even have a jump ball, we HAVE the ball."

Bill: "Such a shame... Well here's the play then. Ron, you're going to float on the waterfall towards the bucket of golden wonders. Mike, you are going to swallow the streams of the river, as you fight the monstorous beasts of Ilrak. Kevin, you are going to call to the powers of the basketball gods, and then head towards the corner line of eternity. Mike, you're going to get the orb of life from Brad. The fate of all mankind lies in your hands. History as we know it, will be re-written at this very moment. Cherish it. For all mankind may be doomed if we fail."

Brad: "Holy crap what was that?"

Mike:"I have no ideas what's going on right now."

Kevin: "So wait... Where's the line of eternity?"

Ron:"Don't worry guys, I understood every word he said."

*slow clap*
Bravo

Does anyone else deperately miss Pete Carrill? If Dinosaur Nelson can coach the warriors into the playoffs at his tender young age, Mister Carrill probably has enough gas to net us a championship.

I get depressed when they mention coachie talking to K-Mart all the time and I can't see him near the bench.

Coachie though was never an NBA head coach, and I sincerely doubt had any interest in becoming one. Not even a true NBA assistant coach. More of a semi-consultant/wise old head. His head coaching days, at any level, are past now.

Wouldn't mind seeing Brooks retained as lead assistant, and Vlade brought in as big man coach. As for the top guy? Who knows.

I'd look hard at Elie, Iavaroni, and Porter. SVG, sure, but wasn't he not interested last year? Maybe things have changed...

Dark horse: Rick Carlisle if he's out in Indy. But only if Ron is shipped out first.

Hard to see Brooks retianed as the top asistant unless the Maloofs really do bring in a toadie as head man. Head coaches always want to pick their assistants, in PARTICULAR their top assistants/right hand men. Brooks might be able to be a holdover further down the bench -- but then again I am not at all sure we really want a holdover form this past season. Normal practice is just to wash it all away as much as possible.
