4. Craig Smith

This post has been fact checked and verified as true.
A dead grandma is a better candidate than Pope.

(For “those” people)

Bryant worries me on the defensive side of the ball. His entire career playing and coaching is focused on the offense, amirite?

But he is well known as a player development coach, which that was the biggest or 2nd most complaint about Larry K.

I for know if Alex wants to coach college but I would guess that if there was one place he might consider it would be Utah. But my gut tells me he and Johnny both have their sites on staying in the NBA

That’s weird my post disappeared but……

Bryant however is well known as a player development coach (his work with Hayward and Mitchell most notably) which was one of the biggest complaints in here about Larry K.

As for Alex, I don’t know if he wants to leave the NBA but if there was one job he might consider leaving I’d guess it’s Utah. However I think they both would prefer to and will stay in the NBA

Yes…no and no

Man, I hope that’s not a “courtesy interview” on the part of Alex.  I hope he wants it.
