"The Detroit Pistons are pursuing Stan Van Gundy with a lucrative offer to assume complete control of basketball operations and coach, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
The Pistons are trying to compete with the Golden State Warriors, who are aggressively pursuing Van Gundy for their coaching position.
The Pistons had also expressed an interest in Steve Kerr in a GM-coaching role, but he's focused on trying to reach a deal to coach the New York Knicks, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Van Gundy has expressed a strong interest in the Warriors' opening, but it's immediately unclear how intrigued he is with the pursuit of Pistons owner Tom Gores.
The Pistons have a far less appealing roster, but the chance for Van Gundy to build his own organization is a challenge the Warriors can't offer him."
Svg was the biggest joke in the history of the NBA that I can recall have fun with that
Vg was successful in Orlando until Dwight got both of them run out of town... I don't see how he was a joke....joe dumars is probably the biggest joke in the history of GM's and even he won the title...I'd prefer Kerr but Svg is a knowledgeable basketball mind and would be our best coach since Larry brown.
dude he's a fuckin clown.. The only reason he had any success at Orlando was because he had Howard .. His basketball iq is embarrassing and i don't think the players particularly like him much either.. His brother is equally as annoying but at least he knows what he's talking about.. Slightly more at least.. Svg is possibly the worst choice available afaic
The Heat won the title in 2005 with Van Gundy's team and he worked wonders in Orlando. He's a great coach and would be our best coach since we ran Larry Brown out of town. He's never had a losing record and has a win percentage over .600. You don't do that by accident.
He took a team with Dwight Howard and basically nothing else to the finals. Howard hasn't reached that level of play since Van Gundy was his coach. He can coach, the numbers speak for themselves.
I used to think Jeff can gundy was a good coach , until he started announcing, sweet god the retardness that comes out of his mouth... Still better than svg without question
You've yet to explain how he's a bad coach in spite of his track record. He's got a personality for sure but his coaching job in Orlando was pretty impressive. It's obvious now that Howard is a very good but not great player....he became a defensive star under Van Gundy.

Way to go HEAT!

SVG's bringing Otis with him as Detroit's new GM.

Even putting him in the same sentence as the legendary Larry brown should be a crime lol
