NBA Coaching Thought

Orlando fired Stan Van Gundy, who's considered one of the best coaches in the NBA now.

Also on the market?  Mike D'Antoni.  Mike coaches a specific style- heavy emphasis on the point guards, lots of running and quick scoring, not much attention paid to defense.

Looking over the NBA, I can see D'Antoni fitting perfectly with the Washington Wizards.  They need to rebuild, but have a PG with incredible talent in John Wall.  D'Antoni's teams ahven't made the finals of the NBA, but they've been exciting and done very well when he has the talent.  I can see him being a great fit for Washington.

As for SVG?  He can probably pick from any job opening.  So what's the most talented team that might be looking for an upgrade in the coaching department?  I keep looking at the Los Angeles Clippers, who have two superstars and enough other pieces but couldn't get past the Spurs this year. 

Make your guesses on where they end up.
