Someone suggested making a poll in that last thread where coaching candidates were discussed and since no one else made one so far I thought I'd get one going. The poll is open to where you could select 2 of the 8 choices listed and there is also an "other" option. I almost didn't include that since I think I've got everyone covered that's been mentioned and rumored but if someone wants to make another suggestion, throw it in here.
The Suns should be able to attract quality candidates with players like Booker and Jackson on the roster as well as having a top lottery pick and close to $30 million in cap space if they rescind the rights to all of their own free agents, mainly Len and Payton. I included all of the regularly named candidates and those rumored for the position.
This is the most important coaching hire in Sarver's reign as owner. We have too many young players right now that need to be developed and groomed for the future in addition to 2 potential superstars in Booker and Jackson. We need to start trending upwards so we can keep those 2 and build around them, as well as lottery pick this year.
McD has said that the financial portion won't be an issue in their search, implying they'll pay what's needed to bring in their top choice and hopefully that is true. The next coaching hire is too important to go cheap with. I'm sure McD knows that this selection will also cost him his job if he doesn't get it right, as it should. Here is a link to an article where the financial part is discussed by McD. That article also links to some other sites that discuss the opening more and goes over some candidates. Here is an article by the Ringer about our coaching search and lists candidates the Suns should look at. Lastly, here is an article where McD says the search has already started and discusses some options as well.
Like I said, you can pick 2 of the people listed and if you select "other" please mention who you would like to see hired. I figured 2 choices allows everyone an A and B option.
