    Coaching changes this season already and open spots and some that may be on the hot seat. Put your predictions of who is going where.
    Brooklyn: Steve Nash
    New York: Thibs
    New Orleans:
    Indiana:
    Philadelphia:
    Chicago:
    Thunder:
    Rockets?:
    Kings?:
    Bucks?:
    Wizards?:
    Timberwolves? (Probably a stretch but wouldn’t be surprised)
    Pistons?: (Casey is an older coach and probably not looking at a rebuild)
    Spurs????: (Same thing here)

    My guesses are: (I’m probably wrong)
    New Orleans: Sam Cassell
    Indiana: Mike D’Antoni
    Philly: Tyronn Lue (Personally I think they should go with McMillian and not Lue. I don’t think Lue is a good coach because his method was to let LeBron coach. McMillian might be able to figure out the Embiid/Horford situation.)
    Chicago: Wes Unseld Jr.
    Thunder: David Vanterpool
    Rockets: Alvin Gentry
    Kings: Budhenholzer
    Milwaukee: Nate McMillian
    Wizards: Jason Kidd
    Timberwolves: Ryan Saunders keeps his job, but gets fired if they don’t make the playoffs.
    Pistons: Kenny Atkinson
    Spurs: Pops stays if he wants to stay, if not Becky Hammons gets the job.

      Billy to the Bulls.

      Wes Unseld Jr. to the Wizards

    I’d really like to see Kenny Atkinson with the Pels. He showed a lot when he coached the Nets and feel he should get rewarded for that. The Pels are similar to the Nets were when he went to coach them.
    As for Pacers, I really Tyrone Lue. No high profile players for him to lean on and coach the team so now he can show his strengths and what he’s learned from LA.
    Bulls, I’m thinking Jasón Kidd. Young team with a lot of potential similar to how the Nets when he coached them when they had Garnett and Paul Pierce.. Plus Kidd can help Lavine in being a leader with the same playing style and maturity level that Lavine has.
    Rockets, not sure but I could see Alvin Gentry. (Frankly i really don’t care who becomes the coach, I just hope Mike Dantoni doesn’t go to the Pacers. I thought he was done coaching before Rockets convinced him back.

    New Orleans: Lue
    Indiana: They supposedly have D’Antoni in their sights, but he doesn’t make sense with their roster. I like Joerger for them.
    Philadelphia: Donovan. He’s now the best coach on the market, and Philly’s best chance to maximize their talent.
    Chicago: Atkinson.
    Thunder: Hard to say. Someone with enough of a reputation to command CP3’s respect? Or someone who will be OK with CP3 as virtually a co-head coach? I will split the difference and say Ime Udoka.
    Rockets: Not sure why the would move on from D’Antoni uness they’re just being cheap. In which case I’d go with Golden St. assistant Jarron Collins.
    Kings: Walton’s job is safe last I heard.
    Bucks: Budenholzer’s not going anywhere.
    Wizards: Impossible to say until we know if they’re any good with Wall back.
    Timberwolves: Saunders deserves at least another year.
    Pistons: Casey deserves at least another year.
    Spurs: Pop for at least one more year.

    Yeah, I saw the report that Bud and Walton look to be safe for now.
