"Bulls coach Billy Donovan has an excellent shot at landing the post....Orlando has LA Clippers assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy on its radar as well."

Billy Donovan reportedly has an ‘excellent’ chance of landing the Magic head coaching job. Orlando is also showing interest in Jeff Van Gundy.

“While I always hesitate to frame any potential hire as the favorite for a job, since NBA matters can be so fluid, coaching insiders across the league's landscape are very much operating under the belief that former Bulls coach Billy Donovan has an excellent shot at landing the post. Sources confirmed that Donovan is in dialogue with Magic president Jeff Weltman and will have an in-person meeting with Orlando's lead executive in the near future…Orlando has LA Clippers assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy on its radar as well. The defensive guru on Tyronn Lue's staff is the brother, of course, of former Magic coach Stan Van Gundy.”

Makes me think they’re waiting on someone still in the playoffs.
