I'm going to go way off the board and say I'd like to see the Heat PBP guy from this season Brandon Astle take it.
Yes, he's young and only a few years experience, but he's articulate, he can call a game with great detail, he doesn't use the same crappy cliché's and he spent about 3/4 of the year without a colour guy and still put out great broadcasts.
He also seemed to have a good relationship with the players and coaches despite only being with the team a year and his interviews with the players and coach again, not the cliché things.
If anyone had the potential to be like Maher where he's respected by fans and the organization, it's him.
