The Los Angeles Clippers will pursue multiple big name candidates before opening their coaching search, according to a source.

Jeff Van Gundy, Stan Van Gundy, Brian Shaw and Lionel Hollins are four bigger name coaches the Clippers are expected to pursue.

Stan Van Gundy, yes.. the other two.. no. Shaw might not be bad, but there's the obvious.

SVG's system relies on heavy PG play tbh. i can't see him turning down this offer

Both VG's and Shaw are good candidates

Hollins not so much

He also wanted a warm-weather contender, and I don't buy his talk about never coaching again.... would be a great hire tbh....

Isnt taking a shit load of 3s a big part of a SVG team? Not sure how thats a good fit for the Clips or how thats not a recipe for fools gold teams tbh.

Stan Van Gundy would work wonders for Griffin and DeMonkey, tbh..he's a defensive-minded coach with a good offensive philosophy that promotes spacing and activity..

Clippers in his system with their bigs + Paul/Crawford/Bledsoe/Barnes would make them a legit sleeper..they still need another big and a few changes on the wings, though..Caron Butler sucks, so does Billups, tbh..

For the wings, I could see the Clippers making a run at Pierce, it'd be a good fit for both Pierce and the team, tbh....

I could see Pierce sticking a shotgun in his mouth before signing for Sterling tbh.

I still think a Bledsoe + filler for Granger is a great trade for the Clippers. Maybe even Bledsoe + Jordan for Granger as I think DeAndre Jordan is overrated and his free throw shooting is a huge liability
