The Kings appear to have been the only team shopping in the Clippers price range. In fact, most reports indicate that Rambis was their first choice, and it's unclear whether they moved on because (a) he wasn't willing to commit to their 2 year, $3M offer or (b) he simply wanted to wait until after the NBA Finals to decide. It doesn't seem like an unreasonable request, to wait about one more week at most, when the guy is a little busy with his current job right now. So that makes me suspicious that Rambis wasn't thrilled with the job for that money. (There's also a chance that Phil Jackson will retire if he gets his 10th ring, at which point Rambis would be a candidate for the Lakers job. So yeah, seems like he might want to wait and see how that plays out.)

If the Clippers had fired their coach and conducted a similar coaching search this summer, I would have been happy with either Saunders or Jordan, though neither would have been likely given the price tag. I would have been happy with Rambis, who I mentioned as a candidate back in December. I would have been happy with Thibodeau. Westphal? Not so much.

If I were a Clippers fan

I’d be happy with any coach not named Mike Dunleavy Sr.
