Plus, last I heard Aaron Miles is 50/50 on whether he will be back. He may join Ime in Houston, or he may take a job with a different team.
But so far, we lost 5 coaches (Udoka, Stoudemire and the 3 who are going to Houston with Udoka) and we've hired 4 guys to replace them. Plus, we may lose Miles too..

Amile the de facto big man coach or will they not carry one?
IMO, this year is very important to have a big man coach to continue Porzingis' recent improvement in the post and to give Rob a better idea too.

Seems like Joe never got around to meeting or connecting with any coaches around the league.

Yeah. Joe gets to decide who his subordinates are, but he's deciding from among candidates sent over by HR.

I agree with you but who stands out in the field as a big man coach? Could bring in Ewing but I doubt he'd be interested since he's busy collecting his golden parachute from Georgetown. I remember the old days of Clifford Ray. The big man is a lost art in the league.

Nobody realistic jumps to mind.
My unrealistic thoughts start:
-- Kevin McHale, who had the skills, and has kept up with changes to the game enough to know to change emphasis away from what was crucially important only in the old days.
-- A certain ex-Celtic who, when he was a young player on another team, had that team's GM tag in as his de facto position coach. (Hint: That guy is named "Kevin" too.)

Kevin Gamble would be a great addition to the bench.
