I think we all assume he's going to get one of the jobs.

Where do you think it will be?

with doc's style, I think 76ers would be the best fit. I don't understand why 76ers is going hard after Mike DA when one of their star players can't shoot

Sixers would be perfect. Inept coach, inept front office, incompatible roster. There would be so much drama, they’d get their own reality show.

Ideally you want Doc with a veteran heavy team that’s underachieving on the outside of the playoffs or on the brink looking back in.

Pelicans seem like a good fit but I’m not sure if Doc makes young players better. 76ers seem like a Lob City toxic situation ready to blow and I can’t see Doc fixing it when he couldn’t fix issues in LA


Magic, Hornets, and Knicks seem like the best fits

maybe doc should take some rest--not many teams will be chomping at the bit for his secret sauce(or lack thereof)

Seems like the last thing the Sixers need is a coach that doesn't have his team practice as much as others.

Which team would be satisfied just making the playoffs or maybe overachieve and get to the 2nd round?

Too bad the Nets hired Nash.... they would've been perfect for everyone

But my choice 76ers if anyone, otherwise just relax for a year. You're 58 years young.You have time. Enjoy your family and actually be able to watch Austin without coaching or coaching him
NBA Playoffs.... I can never wait!
