So, Steve Nash to Brooklyn, and Donovan to Chicago.
Brett Brown is available.
Which other coaches will be shown the door? Will Frank Vogel survive if Lakers don't win it all? Which team will benefit the most from their new coach?
Thoughts?

Can you expand on how the Steve Nash has been on the Merry go round?

Consulted with the Warriors, so he's at least been elsewhere in the theme park.
Lovebroker, can you expand on how you felt the need to even comment at all?
Lavine improved every season under hoiberg and jimbo the clowns coaching... I can only imagine how good Donovan is going to be for his development.

From The Age
The Clippers' job becomes the sixth current vacancy in the NBA, along with Houston, Indiana, Philadelphia, Oklahoma City and New Orleans.
New York, Brooklyn and Chicago have already filled vacancies in their offseasons.
Rivers' departure means the league also is down to four Black coaches currently with jobs: Lloyd Pierce in Atlanta, J.B. Bickerstaff in Cleveland, Monty Williams in Phoenix and Dwane Casey in Detroit. Rivers is the third Black coach to either step down or be fired this off-season, joining Nate McMillan in Indiana and Alvin Gentry in New Orleans.
Sam Cassell and Tyronn Lue were both assistants on this Clippers team under Rivers. Lue already has won an NBA title in Cleveland, and Rivers has long said that Cassell is ready to become a head coach. It's possible they could be among the candidates to take over.
