Derek Fisher
Although he is currently offering on court leadership and knocking down corner threes for the Thunder, it appears Fisher may be a favorite for the Knicks head coaching vacancy. Fisher was with Jackson during the Lakers championship runs, so the chemistry between the two is apparent and Fisher could easily implement a Jackson style system in New York. Knicks players would have to respect the five time champion who has already shown the ability to lead and deal with superstar egos, as well as being a man of great character for many years now.
Fisher could easily transition from player to coach in a way similar to Jason Kidd, who coaches the Brooklyn Nets currently. Maybe with even more success.
