Stackhouse, as someone else mentioned, would also be a good choice.

On paper I'd love one of the young smart coaches, a Brad Stevens, Quinn Snyder type, but I think Stack would get these guys to fight. Give me Stackhouse and load him up with as many boy genius X/O assistants as he'll take. Monty's problem was when his boy genius left he replaced him with a washed up yes man from his past.

Will Weaver. Langdon loves him.

Langdon and Weaver won G-League Exec and Coach of the year last year. Weaver took the Sydney Kings HC job in Austrailia this year, who Didi is playing for now. Thats definitely not a coincidence. And fwiw, the Kings are the best team in that league.

I'm not sure he'd leave Australia after just one year but that HAS to be a name at the top of the list, if we're just speculating right now.

This is interesting a perhaps the most insightful and perceptive suggestion.

Griffin and Langdon both seem to have a knack for scouting and landing on unorthodox hires you don't see obviously coming. David Blatt anyone? Of course, the Blatt hiring was one of those moves I think you can rightfully critique Griffin over.

Not sure Weaver is ready, but I could see it.

Unless it’s some drastic turn around I see no way Alvin is the coach
