who have we lost out on? Everybody that was available when we fired Gentry, is still available.


The coaching pool has never been deeper, I'm not concerned about not having good options at all.

I'm still trying to figure out why he's waiting.

- He's waiting on people who are interviewing, like Lue, or in the Bubble still.
- If the rumor of a dollar cap is true, the longer he waits the more other options go off the table and make candidates more likely to take a lower salary.
- If the rumor of a dollar cap is true, waiting gets you closer to news of a vaccine which means fans in the stands and maybe gets the dollar limit increased.
- Waiting gets you closer to the draft and potential roster reshaping moves which might impact which coach fits best.

Right, this is actually a pretty good year to have a vacancy. A few actually good former HCs are available: Atkinson, MDA, Donovan (no longer available). Lue is a current assistant that a lot of teams are high on that was a HC that won a title.

You also have a TON of assistants that a lot of people think are ready to take the next step.

This is a pretty good year to have an opening imo.
