why would anyone take the Kings job over the Magic? First off the Magic have a better young core than the Kings and most importantly they play in the EAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And who wouldn't want to coach Dwight Howard!!!!

kings were probably willing to pay more. plus, he was their second choice. i know i wouldn't be that excited for a job knowing that i only got it after someone else refused.

I read Pat Riley was asking for compensation (1st round pick ?) if SVG went to ORL, and nothing if he went to SAC. Maybe they have a under the table deal on Artest all worked out since MIA is interested in him.

Or maybe he didn't want the coach he "replaced" to show how good he was in ORL.

Riley is such a snake. I seriously can't stand the guy.

Maybe Stan didn't wanna potentially coach against Riley?

Kings GM > Magic GM

Talent wise the Magic have the obvious edge, but other things are important to a coach.

Maybe he saw what happened to his brother. Larry Brown turned down the roxs, and Jeff Van Gundy got the job...and well now he is Van Gone dy.
