They should get Bill Walton tbh.

I imagine Van Gundy would be very wary of working under Memphis' owner. He's on his third coach in a year. The Grizzlies went from being the NBA's version of the Steelers to being the Browns.

I get the JVG thing, but why do franchises think ex-players who pretend to understand strategy and commentate on national television will ever make good head coaches? "He's so well liked by the players".

There are only a few real NBA coaches. The rest are just cheerleaders.

Ya, he doesn't seem like the type of guy that would agree to work under those cir stances IMO, especially considering he's content with his announcing job..

JVP would fit Memphis perfectly, the Grizzlies don't play offense anyway.
