I like Luke because he is young and been now part of successful GSW and Lakers. LIke Kerr sees phil as great teacher. (As did Fish, but not reason to abandon concept)
I like Rambis as he is experienced, had experienced adversity, and might be well received as he is part of the family.
No to Mark Jax, yes to MDA. I doubt would come back but his concepts are compatible with the triangle. Doubt Melo would like that either.
I'd say the next coach comes from Phils family tree. JVG or Thibs are part of Riley's tree and proven to be stagnant.

Spoelstra might disagree. Thibs had the Bulls contending year in and year out without their MVP for most of that stretch. Nothing stagnant about him. You would actally prefer Shaw over Thibs, why because he's a company man?

My vote is for Luke Walton. He seems to be a pretty nuanced guy, is a triangle protege, seems to be a player-coach and more importantly, has experience in coaching the way that we want to/should play. I'd hire Brian Shaw as his lead assistant because I think that Kurt Rambis is a bum from his days in Minnesota.

I also like Walton, but this is from the Tim Cone interview on the Triangle thread began by newyorker4ever

Luke could be special, no doubt, but good players make good coaches, and there’s a lot of really good players at GSW. I think Luke is going to be like Phil. He’s going to be very selective where he goes. He can afford to wait for the best situation.

Cone is speculating, of course, but are we the "best situation" for him? He might very well be coming from a team that has won consecutive titles, and be the most desired coaching commodity on the market.

Are KP and crew enough to pique his interest?

I think KP is enough to pique the interest of anyone. I like Walton and absolutely do not want Shaw at all unless he's on the bench and i'd also take Thibs with the understanding that he's gotta stop running the players so hard and the especially goes toward Melo of course. Thibs would have us winning games i have no doubt about that but i just can't see Phil bringing in a non triangle coach so Walton it is. I'm not so sure that Walton would leave GS for the Knicks though but i have a feeling we'll be finding out.

how sad is that?

Its like a tech company only being able to hire a developer who knows a rarely used or proprietary language. Seems stupid and limiting.

Hey it gets you to code the right way, the way you are supposed to be programming.

I also nominate Dennis Hopper (shooter) as his unconventional wacky sidekick and lead assistant. If Hackman can lead a bunch of small town kids to the championship game, just think what he could do with our Knicks!

WE had "Hackman", it was MDA! But Chitwood (melo) was not having it!

Good take!

And Walton strikes me as a West Coast guy, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him pull a Kerr and pick a Western Conference team. I wouldn't be surprised if he went to the Lakers to coach them. Needless to say, him coming here is a long-shot. But he does remind me a lot of a young Phil Jackson and so I'd welcome him with open arms.
