By the end of the month, Willie Green may have 3 rings as an assistant coach before his 40th birthday. He's also got experience playing in New Orleans.

Should he be at the top of the list of potential targets for the Pelicans head coaching vacancy?https://t.co/zyyFzDmj0M
Thank you Jake

Are we really gonna take Lee right to the finish line and choose the other coach, twice?
Lee probably waiting to first see if Budenholzer gets fired and he is up for Bucks position
I know that is not what is happening because Carlisle was told after Bucks won round 2 that Bud was coming back. Why he chose Indy.
Lee wants us. He has looked hard for assistants - I know several he has reached out to, including one on the staff he currently works with. Ball in the Pels court, Lee, Vinson, and Green all want the job

That's not a terrible list to choose from... none of them have any skins as HC, but it'll ultimately be on Griff (and Langdon) to give the new HC something to work with.
I just hope Griff sees the light now and realizes you can't win in today's game without guys that can SHOOT. He said as much in his presser after the season ended, but his moves will tell us if he truly believes it.

One, but he likely wont come because he was/is close with SVG.
Green has talked to J Collins, but he doesnt have any HC experience. The three guys I know Lee has talked to - none of them have HC experience. Pickings there are kind of slim. Brett Brown makes some sense. Sam Mitchell wants to get back into coaching. Maybe Mike Brown can be had if you write him a huge check. But pickins are slim
Makes you wonder if Green is going to bring people in from Golden State

Maybe Green can bring CP3
Just another Kiwi basking in the reflected glory of Steven Adams....bask bask...
Corey Vinson yes that is Fred Vinson ‘s son could be coming along too. Don’t shoot the messenger . Just reading off another message board.

It's a bit trippy, are we waiting to see which team wins the finals before deciding on Lee or Green? Is this a Gentry 2.0 move? Lol
I continue to hear from NBA sources Suns assistant coach Willie Green is the presumed next Pelicans head coach.

While a deal is NOT done, plenty of mutual interest and I’m told, “Willie wants the New Orleans job and they want him.” pic.twitter.com/C7cNUMhDfy
One step closer I guess.
Crazy how it feels like he surged out of nowhere. I didn't even know he was a coach a month ago.
