Rumor Thread for Next GM & Coach

[NittanyBuc 757]

You sure they didn't say "I think Brian Shaw will be named coach of the Magic" as opposed to "Brian Shaw will be named coach of the Magic"?

Sileo is gone. Who does WDAE have that gives two craps about the Magic? Not saying you're wrong but I just don't know who they have who would report that.

Pretty sure it was Derek Sharp (not sure if that's the right spelling)

I doubt we've even interviewed Shaw, let alone hired him. The GM will be hired first, which is hopefully next week, we wasted too much time just deciding to make a decision on something that was obviously going to happen.

I either heard it wrong or they were talking crap. Sorry dudes. I do think that it was a premature announcement that will happen though.

According to sources the Orlando Magic are expected to put together a list of finalists for their general manager position by next weekend. Former New Orleans Hornets general manager Jeff Bower, San Antonio Spurs assistant general manager Dennis Lindsey, former Portland Trail Blazers vice president of basketball operations Tom Penn and Oklahoma City Thunder assistant general manager Troy Weaver are all under consideration.

 

Sources also revealed that they have all been asked to consider Golden State Warriors assistant coach Mike Malone and Magic assistant Steve Clifford in their search for a head coach.

Interesting. Seems MM is quite respected:

Source: Mike Malone on Paul’s Short List

By Eric Pincus

It remains unclear what decisions the Los Angeles Clippers will make regarding the coming season for Coach Vinny Del Negro. The team has an option on the final year of his contract but have yet to publicly clarify their intentions.Part of the decision will likely be based on the feelings of Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. The Clippers would like nothing more than to ink to both stars to long-term deals.

 

Griffin is believed to be a lock to extend beyond his rookie contract. To date, Paul has been vocally supportive of the franchise and its future.

 

According to a source, Chris Paul has Golden State Warriors Assistant Coach Mike Malone on his short-list of preferred Del Negro replacements.

 

Malone was the lead assistant with the Hornets when Paul led the team to an impressive series against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2011, despite a season-ending injury to David West. Malone was also a key part of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ staff including the year they made their run to the NBA Finals in 2007.

 

Although Malone has yet to run a team as head coach, he’s among one of the most respected assistants in the league and will inevitably be linked to every team interviewing for a head coach (Charlotte, Orlando, etc.).
