I wouldn't be surprised if he takes the rest of the year off. He's made really good money for a coach (not undeserved). So unless he is the kind of guy who just can't stay away, he can use time to relax and pick and choose his job.
If he is of a mind to work, I think St. Louis is the most obvious. LA needs a non-interim coach, but it'd be pretty low to fire Willie this quickly. Anaheim could be in the market.
Possible but less likely - San Jose has underperformed, though they are maybe gradually getting better. Same with NJ and Buffalo. Florida might want to change (again).
