Keep Ryan Saunders.
Let the new President of Basketball Operations and/or Head Coach fill the rest of the spots.
I think it would be super beneficial to add Mike D'Antoni to our staff if we could swing it. Maybe Thibs can use his Team USA relationship and get him here. D'Antoni's style offensively is something I've always liked. He just falls short defensively, so have his teams. If we had Thibs and DA, wow. What a massive turnaround from this year with Mitchell and Lowe.
Yea Kander is a must. I really hope he decides to stick around.
I agree keeping Kander here if we can. My worry is that he almost decided against coming here and ultimately agreed based on his affection for and loyalty to Flip. So one factor in choosing our head coach should be the impact, if any, on Kander's decision. My guess is that JVG would be the best choice for enhancing our changes or keeping Kander. My guess is based on JVG's personality, which most resembles Flip's and the long-standing friendship between Flip and JVG. The Flip-JVG connection might help us retain Kander.
Any interest in David Blatt as an assistant? He was supposed to be a great offensive mind, went to Cleveland and they signed LeBron, so naturally your offense changes to a lot of isolation instead of what he wanted to implement.

No thanks. If you can't find ways to involve Kevin Love offensively, then I don't trust you to put Karl-Anthony Towns to good use either.
