Have I got a deal for you ...

'Round and 'round and 'round they go. Where they'll stop ... well, that doesn't really matter so much in the NBA these days.

Once you've been in the coaching fraternity, you get to stay there with one franchise or another. Apparently, there will always be a musical chair open for you.

That's the way it seems, anyway. The league just keeps recycling the same old faces into its revolving-door coaching positions. If it doesn't work out for you in New Orleans, there's always Cleveland. If Philly ain't your cuppa tea, try a taste of Detroit.

Looks from here as if the NBA's fleet of head coaching candidates have all been previously-owned, if you know what we mean. As Page 2's Illegal Motion cartoon suggests, it's one big used-car lot.

So let the buyer beware.

Click on each coach to learn all you need to know about these re-treads. Then click on the sticker to get back to the lot.
