Who’s got next?
An early look at likely candidates to replace Jeff Hornacek:
Mark Jackson
He’s the fans’ top choice. The Queens/St. John’s product who had two stints as the Knicks point guard would seem a natural. But the Steve Mills/Scott Perry front office is big on creating a convivial family vibe, and Jackson reportedly had bouts with several in Warriors’ front office. That bad rap likely is why he hasn’t been pursued much since getting axed in 2014.
Doc Rivers
Despite a bang-up job with an injury-depleted, talent-stripped club, Rivers is no lock to return with the Clippers.
