Sources: Stan Van Gundy emerging as one of New Orleans Pelicans' coaching finalists

Another New Orleans finalist -- LA Clippers assistant Ty Lue -- has a meeting set for this week, too, sources told ESPN.

Van Gundy's reputation as a teacher of the game in 11-plus seasons with the Miami Heat, Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons has made him a formidable candidate for a young Pelicans roster. The Pelicans -- who finished 30-42 and 13th in the Western Conference last season -- have a young core that includes Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, as well as veterans Jrue Holiday and JJ Redick. The Pelicans are expected to be a team capable of making significant progress in the standings in the next few years.
He led the Magic to the NBA Finals in the 2008-09 season.
Van Gundy's four seasons in Detroit included a dual title as president and coach, and personnel decisions -- particularly in the draft -- played a role in limiting the team's success. Still, Van Gundy did elevate the Pistons out of several years in the lottery to the playoffs in 2016 with 44 victories.
After meetings with ownership and management on Monday, Lue's candidacy has gathered significant momentum with the Houston Rockets, sources told ESPN.
The Rockets are competing with the Clippers for Lue and could try to extend an offer before LA has completed its search process, sources said.
Both Lue and Stan's brother, Jeff Van Gundy, are prominent parts of the Rockets' and Clippers' coaching searches -- and Lue has been the Clippers' front-runner since Doc Rivers was dismissed on Sept. 28, sources said.
Lue won a championship in 2016 as the Cleveland Cavaliers coach, and he reached the NBA Finals in three straight years. He was fired after an 0-6 start in the 2018-19 season. Lue is 128-83 overall and 41-20 in the playoffs.

Brett Brown resigns as Australian Boomers basketball coach

Oct 13, 2020
He has informed Basketball Australia that a change in his personal circumstances over recent months has left him unable to commit to the men's national team Olympic campaign.
As a result, he has stepped down immediately.
"This was a difficult decision which did not come easy," Brown said of his decision.
"The uncertainties around the direction of my professional future unfortunately mean that I cannot commit to the time and preparation that this job deserves and requires. The difficulties around traveling internationally with my family during the pandemic have also contributed to my decision."
The Philadelphia 76ers fired Brown in August, a day after his seventh season with the team ended in a first-round postseason sweep.
Brown had worked with the Australian men's team in the 1990s and early 2000s and again from 2009 to 2012 before joining the 76ers. He was hired again in November last year on a short-term basis for the Olympic assignment after Andrej Lemanis quit, and had been expected to do work with the Boomers during the NBA break.
But the Tokyo Olympics were postponed to 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the NBA season was also seriously interrupted.
Further complicating the arrangement, a later than usual start to the next NBA season might mean that some players and coaches will miss the Olympics.
"Basketball Australia is naturally disappointed that Brett is no longer able to commit to being the Boomers' head coach for the delayed Tokyo Olympics, but we fully understand Brett's situation, and appreciate his candidness when informing us of the decision," said Basketball Australia CEO Jerril Rechter.
"The COVID-19 pandemic is creating a challenging environment for all sports in which to operate. The Tokyo Olympics is an important event for Basketball Australia and our male athletes, as collectively we believe the Boomers have an excellent opportunity to claim their first-ever Olympic medal.
"Basketball Australia will commence recruitment for this position in the coming period, with details of the process to be released in due course."

New Orleans Pelicans Head Coaching Search: Stan Van Gundy and Ty Lue named finalists, but Jamahl Mosley and Will Weaver still appear in the mix
Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images
Tyronn Lue and Stan Van Gundy are two of the four expected finalists competing for the vacant head coaching job of the New Orleans Pelicans, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
As for the other finalists, their names have not been revealed specifically, but from the rumor mill in recent days, there’s a strong indication that they probably sit among the following pool of candidates: Jamahl Mosley, Will Weaver, Darvin Ham, David Vanterpool, Jason Kidd, Kenny Atkinson and Dan Craig.
Brian Windhorst linked all but the last three during an appearance yesterday on ESPN’s The Jump, and he was extremely high on Mosley, mentioning him in almost the same breath as Lue and Van Gundy. (Fast forward to just after the eight-minute mark in the linked video below for Pelicans coverage.)
“Ty Lue is at the top of their list,” Windhorst said. “Now, David Griffin, the general manager, and Ty Lue won a title together in Cleveland. There’s a lot of reasons why Ty Lue and Zion Williamson will be an interesting match, but it’s not clear where Ty Lue is prioritizing this job right now.”
Lue had been linked to the openings with the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers before they were filled by Steve Nash and Doc Rivers, respectively, and he remains among the favorites to grab the reins with the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers.
Either way, Windhorst expects the Pelicans to wait on Lue to make a final decision on his future before they name their next head coach.
“But I have to just be honest with you, they are waiting on Ty Lue. For them to be able to hire Tyronn Lue, a guy who Houston, L.A., even Brooklyn potentially — he was on their list before they settled on Steve Nash, Philadelphia, to be able to hire a championship coach who has excellent relationships with veteran players and has shown he can work with young guys, that would be a home run hire for them. And frankly, they’re just going to have to wait because they’re not in pole position here.”
Personally, I am excited to hear Mosley and Weaver sit high up on Griffin’s board (and just as he did last week, Windhorst mentions Weaver’s name for either head coach or an assistant position in New Orleans), but reading that Van Gundy has made it to the final round of interviews with the Pelicans is a fantastic new development.
The Detroit years were a dampener on his legacy; however, Van Gundy did advance to the playoffs eight times in 12 seasons as an NBA head coach and his Orlando teams were considered innovative for surrounding perennial All-NBA Dwight Howard with four floor-spacers. In addition, there might not be a stronger advocate of Van Gundy’s than JJ Redick, who has one more year left on his contract in New Orleans. And who can’t get onboard with a coach that tells his players to “form a fucking wall” with a tenth of a second left in regulation and a one-point game?
Stay tuned for more news soon as the search for the Pelicans next head coach seems to be drawing to a conclusion.

Remember, Morley is the one who fired JVG so there's no way he would hire him again.
Clearly, there was a power clash and Morley stepped down since Fertita wants JVG.
I like JVG as a coach in terms of Xs and Os.
He was dealt a bad hand during his last stint with the Rockets since T-Mac and Yao Ming were injured all the time and rarely played together.
I just wonder how he will co-exist with Harden and Westbrook. He doesn't seem to be big fans of theirs and vice-versa.
Where's @2 ONE 3
Clippers will always have a place in my heart cuz that’s where I had my first job. But fuck them as a franchise
Lakers were cutting the check before I moved to Portland...
shout out to the Lakers & Bron
I haven't heard of anyone offering him a job. At best, he may have an assistant coaching offer somewhere
People just say whatever...

Five Biggest Storylines For 2020 NBA Offseason
BY RAFAEL CANTON
OCT 14, 2020 6:22 PM
The unprecedented, literally year-long NBA season ended with a boom in the form of the Los Angeles Lakers capturing their first championship since 2010. Even with the 19-20 season finally over, there will be very little rest for the weary because the NBA offseason is rapidly approaching, albeit a bit more slowly than in a typical year. Though we don’t know when the regular season will officially start, there’s still a lot of excitement to see what moves teams will make in the draft and free agency and through trades. The coaching carousel is in full swing as well. Five coaching jobs remain available in the Rockets, Pelicans, Pacers, Clippers and Thunder.
The 2021 offseason has way more obvious firepower with a deep pool of superstar free agents, but the 2020 edition will be intriguing in its own right due to the nuances of how teams maneuver ahead of that more momentous class.
The right move could win it all. Just ask the Lakers who swung the NBA championship pendulum in their favor after acquiring Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans.
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Decision Will Have Ripple Effects Across the League
As the reigning MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s looming free agency status will be the premier story this offseason. Though he won’t be a free agent until 2021, Antetokounmpo’s decision to either agree to a super-max contract extension or decline could signal the early stages of his exit from the Milwaukee Bucks. Antetokounmpo’s name has been connected to numerous teams including the Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat, and most recently the Dallas Mavericks.
For his part, Antetokounmpo has said he won't request a trade and sees himself with the Bucks "as long as everybody's fighting for the same thing." The Bucks, meanwhile, have been adamant that they won't consider trading Antetokounmpo if he declines the supermax.
When superstars potentially change teams, the tectonic plates of the NBA shift drastically. A change of scenery for Antetokounmpo would be an epic story for the future of the league and will surely bring on the amateur photoshops. If Antetokounmpo surprises the masses, it will be on to the less than stellar free agency class highlighted by Fred VanVleet, Danilo Gallinari and Montrezl Harrell.
2. Will the Clippers Stand Pat or Make a Move?
After the most disappointing playoff exit for any team this season, the Los Angeles Clippers are back to the drawing board. First, they are in the process of bringing in a new coach after letting go of Doc Rivers. Montrezl Harrell tops the Clippers' short list of free agents. A bad run in the playoffs leaves some doubt as to whether Harrell will receive premium contract offers, and a solid showing from Ivica Zubac this season might have made Harrell redundant for the Clippers. Starter Marcus Morris is also a free agent that will likely have a few suitors. Reserve JaMychal Green holds a player option for just over $5 million next season.
After their second round loss to the Denver Nuggets, the vibes were not good. We know Kawhi Leonard and (likely) Paul George will be back, but all bets are off for a Clippers' front office that is not afraid to pivot as they did in the summer of 2017 with the Chris Paul sign-and-trade, the January 2018 Blake Griffin trade, and the 2019 trade of Tobias Harris.
3. The Heat Will Be Looming As a Potential Free Agent Destination
Before the Bubble, Miami was a nice story. They were a good team seen as likely to make a playoff series competitive with conference favorites the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers.
Then the Bubble happened. The fifth-seed Heat stunned the league with playoff series wins against the Bucks and Boston Celtics. After a valiant NBA Finals loss against the Lakers, the Heat’s free agent profile is at an all-time high. With a two-way superstar in Jimmy Butler, an adaptable ace in Bam Adebayo, and defense-bending shooters in Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson, the Heat have a nice nucleus.
Miami has two significant free agents this offseason in starters Goran Dragic and Jae Crowder. Expect the Heat to negotiate sizable one-year deals or one and one deals with a team option in the second year. The next domino will be Adebayo. He’s eligible for a rookie contract extension this offseason. Adebayo and the Heat can share two winks and hold off on an extension and re-sign in summer of 2021 (or whenever the next offseason will take place). If Adebayo waits, the Heat will have the max salary cap space to pursue a third superstar.
4. Where Will Victor Oladipo Be by the Start of Next Season?
One of the more intriguing, but also challenging to read situations is Victor Oladipo. The two-time All-Star seems to want a trade from the Indiana Pacers, but so many questions still remain. Is he fully healthy? Can he reclaim his place as one of the best two-way players in the NBA? Is he looking for a max contract?
If the Pacers can’t satisfy Oladipo, it only makes sense to trade him before his contract expires after the 20-21 season. Oladipo’s name will always be tied to the Heat due to the fact that he lives in Miami during the offseason and holds a close friendship with “Heat Lifer” Dwyane Wade. Oladipo’s name has been linked to the New York Knicks as well.
In Oladipo’s return to the Pacers from surgery on his quad, his performance was inconsistent. He struggled shooting throughout his return in the middle of the regular season. Those errant shots continued in the Bubble. Indiana’s offense was generally better when Oladipo was off the floor throughout the course of the season. Teams will only want to commit to Oladipo if they know he can return somewhere close to what he was pre-injury.
5. What the Golden State Warriors Do in the Draft Will Dictate Their Offseason
The Warriors have the number two overall pick in the draft in the NBA Draft on November 18. Will they take center James Wiseman from Memphis? Or will they go for a wing and draft Anthony Edwards if Minnesota passes on him? Will they eschew the draft and deal the pick for some veteran help?
No matter what decision is made, as long as Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are healthy, Golden State should return to title contention. The difference in the team being very good and contending for a championship will be in what they do with the rest of the roster. Golden State’s supporting cast is super thin.
Armed with the taxpayer mid-level exception and a $17.2 million trade exception, the Warriors will need to make shrewd moves to find the complementary players that can live up to previous players like Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston, and return themselves to the upper crust of the Association.
