I'd rather them talk with many, then narrow it down to a few.
Completely disagree. "Talking" is what got us Eric Mussellman (remember, he gave an "amazing" presentation to the Maloofs).
The Kings should have used the last 2+ months to look at bodies of work and talk to a bunch of people about perspective candidates. Narrow that list down to 2 or 3 guys and then consider having them each come in.
Talking to a bunch of people just means you're likely going to pick the one that interviews the best; not the one that is the best for your team.
Further, talking to a lot of people could "validate" a bad interview. That is, they bring 10 people in to interview and 1 or 2 have bad talks. The Kings can chalk it up to them not being as good as they hoped because the other 8 went fine. Bring in 3 guys and have 2 go wrong and it validates your interview as the problem.
I mean seriously, bringing in 6, 10, 15 guys to interview for the job absolutely wreaks of amateur hour. Of course, at this point I'd expect nothing less from this organization.
I disagree. Especially with a new GM. Vlade probably won't take more than 2-3 weeks to decide.
I agree about casting a wide net.. but what is there to talk with Del Negro about if that's true? I will assume it isn't until those talks are official. Lots of speculation that might not be accurate.
