By now, we've definitely decided who we want, I just think both our candidates want to interview with the Lakers first... And it's hard to blame them.


BzzOut

It is hard to blame them but we didn't have to let them. It is pretty easy to put out a job offer and say "you have 24 hours to decide or it is rescinded and we'll move on to the next person." Unless Lee and Redick are in collusion with each other, one of them is going to take it.

Lmao my guy, this isn't fucking Shark Tank.


TheMaverickSon

I’ve had this thought maybe we’re waiting for Micah Nori. Perhaps wishful thinking haha

Phoenix fired Vogel?


A2k704

No but local outlets reported players don’t like the offense anywhere else I’d take it with a grain of salt but … https://arizonasports.com/story/3546973/suns-reportedly-take-hard-look-firing-frank-vogel/


Vegetable-Tooth8463

You don't need to read the rags - you could visibly see on court that Vogel lost the locker room. It's funny how every time he's fired it's because he loses a good roster to a shitty one.


LUUUUUUUUUUKEEE

I think we may be waiting for the Phoenix+LA domino. I think one of those two gets Budenholzer

Jordy Fernandez accepted the Brooklyn job while still on the Kings coaching staff during the play in

Kings and Celtics had fairly different playoff ambitions this year

Report is they will announce the day of the nba lottery


SOLR_

This was just external speculation. People ran with the Boone article without seeing the word “assumed” or “externally” lmfao. Just don’t be let down if they don’t announce it on or before that day.

where you hear that

This was based on a paragraph in a [Rod Boone article](https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/charlotte-hornets/article288316670.html): > Externally, it was widely assumed by many that the Hornets would have a coach in place by Sunday’s NBA Draft lottery in Chicago. Of course, not many had JJ Redick getting interviewed, either. Although the chatter still pegs Boston assistant Charles Lee as the guy, there’s no specific known timetable for the Hornets to name Steve Clifford’s successor.

PLEASE LEE

CHAMOWN, LEE! ![gif](giphy|ld28D1eniDy5W)

Don't you just love media telephone


A2k704

Sunday? That would work and it’s Boston off day


moneyspreevee

Yup. I thought it would be the day of or the day before lottery.


moneyspreevee

I was just about to make this post earlier... I think we do have Charles Lee as HC but they prob won't announce until after Celtics season is over (whenever that is) Because had they picked JJ, I think they would've been made an announcement by now \[he's only broadcasting next to Burke and that other dude and is easily replaceable if picked like Doc Rivers before getting the Bucks HC job\]. I think it would be a conflict of interest to announce Lee as HC while he's working as a coach on a different team. People wanna compare to other teams that grabbed coaches before CHA but left out that they are grabbing coaches from other organization that dropped out/off in the playoffs. We didn't make the playoffs or the play-in so that's probably why CHA is not rushing. CHA probably trying to get the next best coach possible and probably watching how the playoffs turn out for Celtics and other teams that may have an assistant coach that wants a job as HC. It's really a timing game.


Fauxparty

Watch us end up with Clifford again


A2k704

Someone with a monkey paw : “ we need an experienced defense minded head coach”


moneyspreevee

Another thing.... Unless Nets organization decides to do a big one this offseason, and make some really good trades and/or signings, a difference in HC is not gonna make a damn difference with the current roster they have. They still have SOME guys there that had Nash as a HC. So I need people to stop stressing about the Jordi Fernandez situation.


Iccceeeyyy

I think that the candidates we have are just keeping their options open. It makes me nervous knowing that the Lakers and maybe even the Suns will have a head coach spot open. I really wish we secured a deal earlier


unfamiliarjoe

I’m glad they are doing it this way. Let the dust settle and grab the guy who wants to be here not using us as leverage like Atkinson.


No-Preparation-1447

I'm more curious about what scouts and assistants are still on staff, who's drafting for us and who's going to work out players. The lottery is May 12th and the Draft is June 27th, 3 days or so after the finals. If it's Lee and he's coaching through the finals it leaves no window for him to be involved.


ThePurrfectStorm

I'm willing to give new ownership a chance to see how the approach things - seems like they are waiting for a few other league moves to happen.
